Design, build, and test services to create a foundation for your AngularJS applications
If you are an intermediate JavaScript developer who is looking to enhance your understanding of single-page web application development with a focus on AngularJS services, then this book is for you.
This book provides you with the skills and best practices needed to create AngularJS services. It starts with the fundamentals of what services are and their role in a typical AngularJS application. You will walk through the development of a real-world application using services across the various application layers and then move on to create services that provide cross-cutting concerns such as messaging, logging, and authentication.
Next, the book covers services that provide data access showing you how to interact with external cloud-based data services and how to cache data on the client to reduce network latency. The book then shows you how to write services that leverage other cloud-based services to create mashups and include functionality in your application without writing a lot of code.
You will also learn how to create business logic objects, rules engines, and finite state machines, which can be used to provide business logic for your application.
