Passing parameters to Angular providers in configuration phase
Providers are probably the most significant concept in Angular 1. Services and factories use providers underneath, which makes it even more powerful. Anyways, Angular 1 has two phases in it’s lifecycle - configuration phase and run phase. Providers are initialised in the configuration phase. In this phase none of other angular services, like, $http, $location and so on are available to use. I had to pass some values to a custom provider and the only way you can do it is through the config defined on the module.
I never knew you could do that and this tiny post is just a note to self as a reminder.
