Building a fully-fledged application means combining all the concepts we've learned!
An enterprise application perfectly orchestrates modules, controllers, routing, and data binding.
A well-structured app strictly separates concerns across different files.
You will have a primary HTML file containing the global ng-app and <ng-view>.
All distinct features will have their own dedicated Controllers, Services, and HTML templates.
When scaling up, never put all your code inside a massive, monolithic file.
Declare your primary Module in one file, and inject your dependencies.
Use the $http service to dynamically fuel your application with real database data!
/*
Ideal Project Directory:
- index.html (Main Entry Point)
- app.js (Module & Routing Configuration)
- controllers/
- userCtrl.js (Handles User logic)
- services/
- dataService.js (Handles $http API requests)
- views/
- dashboard.html (Rendered inside ng-view)
*/
// Example app.js linking it all together:
var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
A modular, highly separated architecture makes an application extremely maintainable.
Search engines evaluate overall performance; modular scripts load significantly faster.
You have now mastered the fundamentals required to build highly responsive, world-class AngularJS applications!
In a scalable AngularJS application, where should your complex $http API request logic generally be placed?
