AngularJS Dependency Injection

AngularJS Dependency Injection

Dependency Injection is a software design in which components are given their dependencies instead of hard coding them within the component. It relieves a component from locating the dependency and makes dependencies configurable. It also helps in making components reusable, maintainable and testable.

AngularJS provides a supreme Dependency Injection mechanism. It provides following core components which can be injected into each other as dependencies.

Value

Factory

Service

Provider

Constant

value

Value is a simple JavaScript object, which is required to pass values to the controller duringconfig phase (config phase is when AngularJSbootstraps itself).

//define a module

var mainApp =angular.module("mainApp", []);

//create a value object as "defaultInput" and pass it a data.

mainApp.value("defaultInput", 5);

...

//inject the value in the controller using its name "defaultInput"

mainApp.controller('CalcController', function($scope, CalcService,defaultInput) {

      $scope.number = defaultInput;

      $scope.result =CalcService.square($scope.number);

 

      $scope.square = function() {

      $scope.result =CalcService.square($scope.number);

   }

});

Factory

Factory is a function which is used to return value. It creates a value on demand whenever a service or a controller requires it. It generally uses a factory function to calculate and return the value.

//define a module

var mainApp =angular.module("mainApp", []);

//create a factory "MathService" which provides a method multiply to return multiplication of two numbers

mainApp.factory('MathService', function() {    

   var factory = {}; 

   factory.multiply = function(a, b) {

      return a * b

   }

   return factory;

});

 

//inject the factory "MathService" in a service to utilize the multiply method of factory.

mainApp.service('CalcService', function(MathService){

      this.square = function(a) {

      returnMathService.multiply(a,a);

   }

});

...

Service

Service is a singleton JavaScript object containing a set of functions to perform certain tasks. Service is defined using service() function and it is then injected into the controllers.

//define a module

var mainApp =angular.module("mainApp", []);

...

//create a service which defines a method square to return square of a number.

mainApp.service('CalcService', function(MathService){

      this.square = function(a) {

      returnMathService.multiply(a,a);

   }

});

//inject the service "CalcService" into the controller

mainApp.controller('CalcController', function($scope, CalcService,defaultInput) {

      $scope.number = defaultInput;

      $scope.result =CalcService.square($scope.number);

 

      $scope.square = function() {

      $scope.result =CalcService.square($scope.number);

   }

});

Provider

Provider is used by AngularJS internally to create services, factory, etc. during the configphase. The following script can be used to createMathService that we created earlier. Provider is a special factory method with get() method which is used to return the value/service/factory.

//define a module

var mainApp =angular.module("mainApp", []);

...

//create a service using provider which defines a method square to return square of a number.

mainApp.config(function($provide) {

   $provide.provider('MathService', function() {

      this.$get = function() {

         var factory = {}; 

         factory.multiply =function(a, b) {

            return a * b;

         }

         return factory;

      };

   });

});

Constant

Constants are used to pass values at the configphase considering the fact that value cannot be used during the config phase.

mainApp.constant("configParam", "constant value");
