AngularJS factory

AngularJS factory

A factory in AngularJS is a function that returns an object. It allows us to define and configure the object before returning it. Factories are used to create singleton objects, which means that AngularJS will create the object once and then reuse it whenever the factory is injected into different components of the application. This enables the sharing of data and functionality across the application....

Syntax:

app.factory('userService', function () { var user = { name: 'Geek', age: 30 }; return { getUser: function () { return user; }, setUser: function (newUser) { user = newUser; } };});...

AngularJS Service

...

Syntax:

A Service in AngularJS is a constructor function. When a service is injected into different components, AngularJS creates a new instance of the service using the ‘new’ keyword. Services are also singleton objects, meaning the same instance is shared across the application....

Difference between Factory and Service

app.service('userService', function () { this.user = { name: 'Geek', age: 30 }; this.getUser = function () { return this.user; }; this.setUser = function (newUser) { this.user = newUser; };});...
