What are constant and value in angularjs?

Hello everyone, I am going to share to constant vs.value in angular, This is the most important part of angular and the best practice to use constants and value in angular apps.

The angular support to global constant and value, using the constant and value you can configure your constants and its values. The values can be injected and can't injected as per you requirement. When you want to inject your values that time use angular value and otherwise use to angular constant.

The constant value never change and access the value from anywhere and anytime in the apps.

The value and constant  both are same but the value of values can be change anywhere and anytime in the apps. This is the main difference over the constant and value in angular.

Example over angular value

Example 1. storing the single value as given below

// storing a single value
var app = angular.module("valueApp", []);

app.value("userId", 0);

//Here inject our constant value into a value controller.
app.controller("valueCtrl", function (userId) {
    console.log(userId);
    userId = 10;
    console.log(userId);
});

Example 2. storing the multiple value inside the objet as given below

// Storing multiple values inside of an object
var app = angular.module("valueApp", []);


app.value("userConfig", { userName: "",  userEmail: "",  userContact: "" });

// Now we inject our constant value into a value controller
// Values will be empty

app.controller("valueCtrl",function (userConfig) {
    console.log(userConfig);
    console.log("Name: ", userConfig.userName);
    console.log("EmailId: ", userConfig.userEmail);
    console.log("Contact: ", userConfig.userContact);
});

Example 3. storing the multiple value inside the objet as given below

// Storing multiple values inside of an object
var app = angular.module("valueApp", []);


app.value("userConfig", { userName: "",  userEmail: "",  userContact: "" });

// Now we inject our constant value into a value controller
// Values will be populated inside of controller
app.controller("valueCtrl", function (userConfig) {

    // Values will be populated.
    userConfig.userName = "Anil Singh";
    userConfig.userEmail = "anil.singh@gmail.com";
    userConfig.userContact = "+91-9015519999";

    console.log(userConfig);
    console.log("Name: ", userConfig.userName);
    console.log("EmailId: ", userConfig.userEmail);
    console.log("Contact: ", userConfig.userContact);
});


Example over the angular constant

Example 1. storing the single constant  as given below

// Storing a single constant value.
var app = angular.module("constantApp", []);

app.constant("contName", "My App");

// Now we inject our constant value into a constant controller.
app.controller("constantCtrl", function (contName) {
    console.log(contName);
});

Example 2. storing the multiple constant  as given below

// Storing multiple constant values inside of an object.
var app = angular.module("constantApp", []);

app.constant("appConfig", {
        appName: 'code-sample',
        appVersion: 'v1.10',
        appURL: 'http://www.code-sample.com/'
   });

// Now we inject our constant value into a constant controller
app.controller("constantCtrl", function (appConfig) {

    console.log(appConfig);
    console.log("App Name", appConfig.appName);
    console.log("App Version", appConfig.appVersion);
    console.log("App URL", appConfig.appURL);
});


Summary Table as give below
  1. All the provider are instantiate only one time that means all are singletons.
  2. All the provide can be decorated constant can be decorated.
  3. The constant values can be inject any-time and any-where that value never changed.
  4. A angular value is an injectable value.
  5. A angular service is an injectable constructor.
  6. A angular factory  is an injectable function.


Please send me a valuable feedback about this.... Thank you very much!!

nullinjectorerror no provider for httpclient angular 17

In Angular 17 where the standalone true option is set by default, the app.config.ts file is generated in src/app/ and provideHttpClient(). We can be added to the list of providers in app.config.ts Step 1:   To provide HttpClient in a standalone app we could do this in the app.config.ts file, app.config.ts: import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core'; import { provideRouter } from '@angular/router'; import { routes } from './app.routes'; import { provideClientHydration } from '@angular/platform-browser'; //This (provideHttpClient) will help us to resolve the issue  import {provideHttpClient} from '@angular/common/http'; export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {   providers: [ provideRouter(routes),  provideClientHydration(), provideHttpClient ()      ] }; The appConfig const is used in the main.ts file, see the code, main.ts : import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { appConfig } from ...

Why doesn't App Module exist in Angular 17?

Today, I just started exploring Angular version 17 using ng new and found a problem for the newly created project using the command - ng new. The problem is: Path "/src/app/app.module.ts" does not exist while doing ng add in the Angular project. The ‘ng new’ does not generate app.module.ts in the src root folder Angular CLI 17.0.0. From Angular 17 onwards, standalone is now the new default for the CLI . So when we create a new project ‘ app.module.ts ’ file will not create Path " /src/app/app.module.ts ". Run the following command to create the new project including the file ‘app.module.ts’ in your project: ng new AngularMap  --no-standalone Note: Here ‘AngularMap’ is the project name I created. Standalone components are a feature introduced in Angular version 14. Now the changes applied in angular 17 default, the Angular team strongly recommends using them as they are easier to use, and understand.

SOLID Principle - Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP)

The SOLID Principles are the design principles that enable us to manage several software design problems. These principles provide us with ways to move from tightly coupled code to loosely coupled and encapsulated real business needs properly. Also readable, adaptable, and scalable code. The SOLID Principles  guide developers as they write readable, adaptable, and scalable code or design an application. The SOLID Principles can be applied to any OOP program. The SOLID Principles were developed by computer science instructor and author Robert C. Martin. Now, SOLID principles have also been adopted in both agile development and adaptive software development. The 5 principles of SOLID are: 1.       Single-Responsibility Principle (SRP) 2.       Open-closed principle (OCP) 3.       Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) 4.       Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) 5.    ...
