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.

Producer Consumer Design Pattern By using wait(), notify() and notifyAll() methods

Producer Consumer Problem is a classical concurrency problem. In fact it is one of the concurrency design pattern .   Producer Consumer Design Patter can either be implemented using following two approaces. By using wait(), notify() and notifyAll() methods By using BlockingQueue  In this post I will explain implementation using wait() and notify() method. If you are interested in the implementation using Blocking Queue, you can check my post  Producer Consumer Design Pattern using BlockingQueue . The Object class in java contains three final methods that allows threads to communicate about the lock status of a resource. These methods are wait() , notify() and notifyAll() .  We can use  wait() method to pause execution of thread. notify() and notifyAll() methods are used to wake up waiting th...
