Web Developer's Reference Guide

By: Joshua Johanan, Talha Khan, Ricardo Zea

Overview of this book

This comprehensive reference guide takes you through each topic in web development and highlights the most popular and important elements of each area. Starting with HTML, you will learn key elements and attributes and how they relate to each other. Next, you will explore CSS pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements, followed by CSS properties and functions. This will introduce you to many powerful and new selectors. You will then move on to JavaScript. This section will not just introduce functions, but will provide you with an entire reference for the language and paradigms. You will discover more about three of the most popular frameworks today—Bootstrap, which builds on CSS, jQuery which builds on JavaScript, and AngularJS, which also builds on JavaScript. Finally, you will take a walk-through Node.js, which is a server-side framework that allows you to write programs in JavaScript.

The module does not care how or when the route provider was created; it just wants a reference.

You actually use the injector in everything you do in Angular. Angular just does it for you. We will look at $injector and understand how it works but, most likely, you will not need to use these functions.

Dependency injection in Angular

We will quickly cover the common ways that objects are injected into functions in Angular. Using a controller as an example, we will cover the two most common methods. Both of these are using Angular's injection behind the scenes:

  • Defining the variables in a function: You just have to pass the name of the object you need injected. Here is an example that uses $scope and a service...
