Here is what we think are the Top 5 Service AngularJS Modules at the moment. Services in AngularJS are great! They can be injected into controllers, filters, directives are are useful to share code and persist data across your application. Ng beginners might get confused between a service vs factory or service vs provider. In a nutshell, both factories and providers are services and are just coded slightly differently. However, with a provider you can inject this into your apps .config() function so you could load say environment specific settings in a config file used by your app.
Don’t forget Angular services are:
- Lazily instantiated – Angular only instantiates a service when an application component depends on it.
- Singletons – Each component dependent on a service gets a reference to the single instance generated by the service factory.
There are various service components, tutorials and examples you can check out to get your started such as AngularJS service to handle Rest API, An angular navigation service for mobile applications or even an Angularjs refresh data from service when route changes.
