AngularJS Modules Explained

AngularJs Modules.

A module in AngularJS can be thought of as packages in Java. It’s the container for the different parts of an application – controllers, services, filters, directives, etc. AngularJS can group together certain functionalities/Javascript under a single module.
  • A module can define it’s own controllers, services, filter, directives, etc which will be accessible throughout the module.
  • A module can depend on other modules.
  • A module can be used by AngularJS to bootstrap an application. By passing the module name to ng-app directive, we can tell AngularJS to load this module as the main entry point for the application.
  • In angularJS, a module is defined or called using angular.module function.
    Define a Module with no dependencies
    angular.module('myapp', []);
    The first argument is the module name, ‘myApp’. The second argument is an array of module names that this module depends on. Empty square brackets denotes that this module does not have any dependencies.

Load an existing Module
If we just want to load an existing module defined elsewhere, call module function with only one parameter which is name of module.
angular.module('myApp');
Let’s take a simple example:
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head><title>Modle example</title></head>
<body>
 2 + 2 = {{2 + 2}}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.4/angular.js">
</script>
<script>
angular.module('myApp', []);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Above example defines a module. AngularJS then bootstraps the application using this module through the ng-app directive.
Till now, we have just created empty modules. There is nothing inside them. We will add functionality to them in next posts.

Java Data Types

In java any variable has a type, any expression has   a type and every type is strictly defined. Compiler will check all assignments for type compatibility .Hence java is considered as strong typed language. Java Language is not considered as pure OOP language because some non-objects (primitive data types) we have to maintain in our code .So sun people has introduced wrapper class to convert primitive to object form. DATA TYPE SIZE RANGE WRAPPER CLASS Default value byte 1byte -128 to +127 Byte 0 short 2 bytes -32768 to +32767 Short 0 int 4 bytes -2147483648 to +2147483647( Integer 0 long 8 bytes -2 pow 63 to 9223372036854775808L Long 0 float 4 bytes -3.4e38 to + 3.4e38 Float 0.0 double 8 bytes ...
