Dependency injection is a common software design pattern and widely used in AngularJS; it is similar to what we have in the Express framework using require(). You just need to add the services as parameters to controllers, directives, or functions. Many of these items will depend on others to work. For example, a controller request to the server will need the $http service, and this service has to come from somewhere.
