What are recipes and providers in angular.js?

Question

Angular

In the angular.js basics literature, I found this line: "Once a module is declared, it can immediately be used to register recipes for creating objects. Recall that in AngularJS terminology, recipes are called providers."
Questions:
1) what are the recipes for creating objects?
2) Maybe before I get into Angular, I should read something else that explains what recipes, providers, factories, etc. are? If so, what would you recommend to smoke?

Answer 1

what are the recipes for creating objects?

I suspect that we are talking about factories. Burn this book (or whatever you read there).
Wikipedia and learn JS.
Regarding all sorts of factories, etc. ... I somehow made an example - the whole difference is here. Well, yes, there are still two phases - configuration and launch, let's say constants are available everywhere, providers are only at the configuration stage, factories are not available at all - only what they generate is available ....
