Question

Difference between service and factory and provider.Which is better to use

Avikshith Aradhya · Answer

Services Syntax : module.service( 'serviceName' function ); When declaring serviceName as an injectable argument you will be provided with an instance of the function. In other words new FunctionYouPassedToService(). Factories Syntax : module.factory( 'factoryName' function ); When declaring factoryName as an injectable argument you will be provided with the value that is returned by invoking the function reference passed to module.factory. Providers Syntax : module.provider( 'providerName' function ); When declaring providerName as an injectable argument you will be provided with (new ProviderFunction()).$get(). The constructor function is instantiated before the $get method is called - ProviderFunction is the function reference passed to module.provider.
