The problem is I don't know if it's viable in Angular.JS to place every separate code entity (controller, model, service etc) in a separate .js file. I'm trying to implement my solution this way at the moment, but it just doesn't feel right.
Example:
step.js content (model prototype):
(function() {
var moduleStep = angular.module('step', []);
moduleStep.config(function() {
var defaults = {
title: "",
enabled: true,
active: false,
visited: false,
viewUrl: "/clientTemplates/notification/step1.html",
model: {}
};
/**
* @param {string} title
* @param {string} viewUrl
* @param {object} model [optional]
* @constructor
*/
moduleStep.Step = function(title, viewUrl, model) {
_.extend(this, defaults);
this.title = title;
this.viewUrl = viewUrl;
_.isUndefined(model) && (this.model = model);
};
var prot = moduleStep.Step.prototype;
/**
* @returns {boolean}
*/
prot.isValid = function () {
return true;
}
});
}());
masterController.js content (controller):
(function() {
var moduleController = angular.module('masterController', [
'ui.bootstrap',
'step',
'config'
]);
moduleController.config(function() {
var Step = angular.module('step').Step;
/**
* @type {Array}
*/
$scope.steps = [
new Step("step 1", "/clientTemplates/notification/step1.html"),
new Step("step 2", "/clientTemplates/notification/step2.html", {test2: 2}),
new Step("step 3", "/clientTemplates/notification/step3.html", {test: 1})
];
};
controller.$inject = ['$scope'];
moduleController.masterController = controller;
console.log(moduleController.masterController);
});
}());
setupMaster.js (application module)
(function() {
var app = angular.module('setupMaster', [
// 'ngRoute',
//controllers
'masterController',
'config'
]);
/**
* Конфигурационная функция для провайдеров служб приложения
*/
app.config(['$controllerProvider', '$httpProvider', function($controllerProvider, $httpProvider) {
$controllerProvider.register('MasterController', angular.module('masterController').masterController);
}]);
}());
http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/module
In the "recommended setup" block it is written that 4 large modules should be used for services, directives, filters and the application layer. What about controllers or models factories/prototypes?
Maybe it's just me being stupid or not compatible with Angular's paradigm, but module and injectors systems in Angular seem a bit over-engineered and counter-intuitive. Though i really like Angular's 2-way data binding and dirty-checking instead of callbacks.
