Example
Provider is available both in configuration and run phases.
The Provider recipe is syntactically defined as a custom type that implements a
$getmethod.You should use the Provider recipe only when you want to expose an API for application-wide configuration that must be made before the application starts. This is usually interesting only for reusable services whose behavior might need to vary slightly between applications.
angular.module('app',[])
.provider('endpointProvider', function() {
var uri = 'n/a';
this.set = function(value) {
uri = value;
};
this.$get = function() {
return {
get: function() {
return uri;
}
};
};
})
.config(function(endpointProviderProvider) {
endpointProviderProvider.set('http://some.rest.endpoint');
})
.controller('MainCtrl', function(endpointProvider) {
var vm = this;
vm.endpoint = endpointProvider.get();
});
<body ng-controller="MainCtrl as vm">
<div>endpoint = {{::vm.endpoint }}</div>
</body>
endpoint = http://some.rest.endpoint
Without config phase result would be
endpoint = n/a
