You need to instantiate the helpM Class:

Replace:

vm.nineOne = helpM.SaveM

To:

var helpObj = new helpM();
vm.nineOne = helpObj.SaveM.bind(helpObj);

you have to make an instance of helpM otherwise this will be undefined

(function() {
  'use strict';

  angular.module('myApp', []);

  function helpM() {
    var vm = this;
    vm.SaveM = function() {
      alert('Save Me Now');
    }
    return vm;
  }


  function SaveCTRL() {
    var vm = this;

    vm.nineOne = new helpM().SaveM;

    return vm;
  }

  angular.module('myApp')
    .controller('SaveCTRL', SaveCTRL);

})();

<body ng-app="myApp">
  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
  <div ng-controller="SaveCTRL as main" layout="column" ng-cloak="" class="md-inline-form">


    <md-button class="md-raised md-primary" ng-click="main.nineOne()">Submit</md-button>

  </div>
</body>

so treat a function like a class that needs to be instance to get the value of this ? thanks it works — jake talledo, Apr 13 '16 at 04:02
