The following patterns are considered problems with default config;

    /*eslint angular/controller-name: 2*/

    // invalid
    angular.module('myModule').controller('MyCtrl', function () {
        // ...
    }); // error: The MyCtrl controller should follow this pattern: /[A-Z].*Controller$/

The following patterns are **not** considered problems with default config;

    /*eslint angular/controller-name: 2*/

    // valid
    angular.module('myModule').controller('MyController', function () {
       // ...
    });

The following patterns are considered problems when configured `"ui"`:

    /*eslint angular/controller-name: [2,"ui"]*/

    // invalid
    angular.module('myModule').controller('TabsController', function () {
        // ...
    }); // error: The TabsController controller should be prefixed by ui

The following patterns are **not** considered problems when configured `"ui"`:

    /*eslint angular/controller-name: [2,"ui"]*/

    // valid
    angular.module('myModule').controller('uiTabsController', function () {
        // ...
    });

The following patterns are considered problems when configured `"/[A-Z].*Ctrl/"`:

    /*eslint angular/controller-name: [2,"/[A-Z].*Ctrl/"]*/

    // invalid
    angular.module('myModule').controller('MyController', function () {
        // ...
    }); // error: The MyController controller should follow this pattern: /[A-Z].*Ctrl/

The following patterns are **not** considered problems when configured `"/[A-Z].*Ctrl/"`:

    /*eslint angular/controller-name: [2,"/[A-Z].*Ctrl/"]*/

    // valid
