AngularJS - Getting Module constants from a controller
It should also be noted that SimplGy's solution means that the 'cfg' object is a constant, however the properties of that object are not. This means, that you cannot reassign 'cfg' like so:
cfg = { randomProperty: randomValue };
You CAN reassign the properties of the 'cfg' object like so:
cfg.url = 'BrandNewURL.com';
cfg.httpTimeout = 30;
I don't think it is valid to use the module name in an injection like that. You can simply inject the constants by name, though:
angular.module('myApp.controllers', ['myApp.config'])
.controller('ListCtrl', ['$scope', 'APP_NAME', function($scope, appName) {
$scope.printme = appName;
}]);
I think the simplest approach is to add a constant using an object literal. This fits most application configuration use cases I think, because it supports a complex config object. The constant
step also runs early, before other providers are registered.
angular.module('myApp').constant('cfg', {
url: 'https://myapi.com/v1/',
httpTimeout: 5000
})
To use it you just inject cfg
:
angular.module('myApp').factory('user', function(cfg, $http){
// cfg and $http together at last
})
Check out the use of constants in this example:
angular
.module('abp001App', ['ngRoute'])
.constant("myConfig", {
"url": "http://localhost",
"port": "80"
})
.config(function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
controller: 'MainCtrl'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
})
.controller('MainCtrl', function (myConfig) {
// Do something with myConfig...
});
