How can i differentiate scope variable and ng-model variable from the code

Question

Is there any way to differentiate a scope variable declared from controller or using ng-model directive? How can I differentiate them in code?

Example

$scope.testScopeVar & `ng-model="testVal"

I'm really curious to know, Is there any way to do it so?

just want to understand angular scope concept more clearly.. — Pankaj Parkar, Sep 12 '14 at 20:11
@SamIam why we can't differentiate them? is there any way to do it.? — Pankaj Parkar, Sep 12 '14 at 20:14
differentiate what? can't even understand what you are asking — charlietfl, Sep 12 '14 at 20:26
@charlietfl i clearly mention what i want. How can i define scope variable is defined using ng-model or directly using scope.variableName. — Pankaj Parkar, Sep 13 '14 at 03:53
@pankajparkar how would you ever use it anyway? Consider binding to objects from third party API's using hashmaps of unknown keys in directives that dynamically create elements and `ng-model`'s that all get saved using `$resource` — charlietfl, Sep 13 '14 at 03:59

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, you cannot distinguish the origin of scope variables programmatically. Once they are on the scope, they are Plain Old JavaScript Objects. The best you can do would be to establish a naming convention and adhere to it in your own application code.
