Can I make a function available in every controller in AngularJs?

Global Functions in AngularJs

Hello everyone, I am going to share the code sample to create the global functions available in every controller.

Here in AngularJs, have two options for creating global functions. i.e.

1. Define a service for global function.
2. Using  run method for root scope.

Here, I am going to use the  $rootScope and app.run() on initialization in AngularJs as given below example.

The live demo link   http://embed.plnkr.co/lQfOiX/preview

//This is global functions for every controller.
app.run(function ($rootScope) {
    $rootScope.myGlobalFunction = function () {
     };
});

The AngularJs code-sample

var app = angular.module('myApp', []);

//This is global functions for every controller.
app.run(function ($rootScope, $window) {
    $rootScope.myGlobalFunction = function () {
        //TODO : your custom code here.
        $window.alert('I am global function. :)');
        console.log("I am global function. :)");
    };
});

//This is controller for accessing to global functions.
app.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope) {
    //TODO: your controller code here.
});

The HTML code-sample

<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="MainCtrl">
    <div ng-init="myGlobalFunction()">
        <button ng-click="myGlobalFunction()">Click and call global function</button>
    </div>
</div>

The Live demo code (HTML + AngularJs) as given below.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>Global Functions in AngularJs</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <script src="https://code.angularjs.org/1.4.3/angular.js"></script>
    <script>
        var app = angular.module('myApp', []);

        //This is global functions for every controller.
        app.run(function ($rootScope, $window) {
            $rootScope.myGlobalFunction = function () {
                //TODO : your custom code here.
                $window.alert('I am global function. :)');
                console.log("I am global function. :)");
            };
        });

        //This is controller for accessing to global functions.
        app.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope) {
            //TODO: your controller code here.
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="MainCtrl">
    <p class="txt">Global Functions in AngularJs</p>
    <div ng-init="myGlobalFunction()">
        <p>
            <a href="http://code-sample.com/">Click for know about me. :)</a>
        </p>
        <button class="btn" ng-click="myGlobalFunction()">Click and call global function</button>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

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.
