Lessons Learned: A Year with a Large AngularJS Project photo credit: Solo After a year of working with a large AngularJS project, I thought I’d share a few of the lessons that I learned in the process. Firstly, I love AngularJS. It suits my needs exceedingly well, and I expect it will be my goto for the forseeable future when I need a solid framework for “thick client” single page applications. Code Organisation This one is huge. - project -- controllers --- someController.js --- someOtherController.js --- ... --- someController99.js Which lead to a controllers folder that would twist the eyes. Today I’d want to start building my project in a more modular fashion. Cliff Meyers has written a great article on organizing your code in a large Angular app. Directives are awesome and powerful I’m of the opinion now that Directives are the killer feature of AngularJS.

Services are just global objects AngularJS wires in services to your controllers for you, in an attempt at implementing dependency injection in Javascript. Embrace broadcast messaging Any reasonably complex view will end up containing multiple controllers. Which all leads us to… Combine broadcast messaging with services The pattern that we eventually fell into was to combine broadcast messaging with services.
