Angular JS Services Islamabad

In AngularJS, a service is a function, or object, that is available for, and limited to, your AngularJS application. AngularJS has about 30 built-in services.

AngularJS supports the concept of Separation of Concerns using services architecture. Services are JavaScript functions, which are responsible to perform only specific tasks. This makes them individual entities which are maintainable and testable. The controllers and filters can call them on requirement basis. Services are normally injected using the dependency injection mechanism of AngularJS.

AngularJS provides many inbuilt services. For example, $http, $route, $window, $location, etc. Each service is responsible for a specific task such as the $http is used to make ajax call to get the server data, the $route is used to define the routing information, and so on. The inbuilt services are always prefixed with $ symbol.

Creating Services

Application developers are free to define their own services by registering the service's name and service factory function, with an AngularJS module.

The service factory function generates the single object or function that represents the service to the rest of the application. The object or function returned by the service is injected into any component (controller, service, filter or directive) that specifies a dependency on the service.
