Angular $ Wrapper Services

$document and $window

[Style Y180]

  • Use $document and $window instead of document and window.

    Why?: These services are wrapped by Angular and more easily testable than using document and window in tests. This helps you avoid having to mock document and window yourself.

$timeout and $interval

[Style Y181]

  • Use $timeout and $interval instead of setTimeout and setInterval .

    Why?: These services are wrapped by Angular and more easily testable and handle AngularJS’s digest cycle thus keeping data binding in sync.
