    @PaulSweatte What is the default then? :) – bjfletcher Sep 18 '15 at 14:15
  • [Unit tests](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/test/ng/compileSpec.js) describe the behaviour as such: `it('should throw noident when missing controller identifier'` and `it('should throw noident when missing controllerAs directive property'` – Paul Sweatte Sep 18 '15 at 14:27

Unit tests describe the default behaviour of controllerAs in the directive definition object(ddo) as such: 

it('should throw noident when missing controller identifier')

it('should throw noident when missing controllerAs directive property')

  • Interesting, I don't recall seeing any uncaught `noident`. Perhaps it was caught somewhere and handled discreetly? – bjfletcher Jan 29 '16 at 10:45
