<h1 class="external">An AngularJS Style Guide for Closure Users at Google</h1>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="external">This is the external version of a document that was primarily written for Google
|
||
|
|
engineers. It describes a recommended style for AngularJS apps that use Closure, as used
|
||
|
|
internally at Google. Members of the broader AngularJS community should feel free to apply
|
||
|
|
(or not apply) these recommendations, as relevant to their own use cases.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="external">This document describes style for AngularJS apps in google3. This guide
|
||
|
|
supplements and extends the <a href="https://google.github.io/styleguide/jsguide.html">
|
||
|
|
Google JavaScript Style Guide</a>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Style Note</b>: Examples on the AngularJS external webpage, and many external apps, are
|
||
|
|
written in a style that freely uses closures, favors functional inheritance, and does not often use
|
||
|
|
<a class="external"
|
||
|
|
href="https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/wiki/Types-in-the-Closure-Type-System">
|
||
|
|
JavaScript types</a>. Google follows a more rigorous Javascript style to support JSCompiler
|
||
|
|
optimizations and large code bases - see the javascript-style mailing list.
|
||
|
|
This is not an Angular-specific issue, and is not discussed further in this style guide.

<h2>1 Angular Language Rules</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="googprovide">Manage dependencies with Closure's goog.require and goog.provide</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>Choose a namespace for your project, and use goog.provide and goog.require.</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
||
|
|
goog.provide('hello.about.AboutCtrl');
|
||
|
|
goog.provide('hello.versions.Versions');
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Why?</b>
|
||
|
|
Google BUILD rules integrate nicely with closure provide/require.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="modules">Modules</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Your main application module should be in your root client directory. A module should never be
|
||
|
|
altered other than the one where it is defined.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Modules may either be defined in the same file as their components (this works well for a module
|
||
|
|
that contains exactly one service) or in a separate file for wiring pieces together.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Why?</b>
|
||
|
|
A module should be consistent for anyone that wants to include it as a reusable component.
|
||
|
|
If a module can mean different things depending on which files are included, it is not consistent.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="moduledeps">
|
||
|
|
Modules should reference other modules using the Angular Module's "name" property
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>For example:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
||
|
|
// file submodulea.js:
|
||
|
|
goog.provide('my.submoduleA');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
my.submoduleA = angular.module('my.submoduleA', []);
|
||
|
|
// ...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// file app.js
|
||
|
|
goog.require('my.submoduleA');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Yes: my.application.module = angular.module('hello', [my.submoduleA.name]);
|
||
|
|
<font color="red">
|
||
|
|
No: my.application.module = angular.module('hello', ['my.submoduleA']);
|
||
|
|
</font></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Why?</b>
|
||
|
|
Using a property of my.submoduleA prevents Closure presubmit failures complaining that the file is
|
||
|
|
required but never used. Using the .name property avoids duplicating strings.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="externs">Use a common externs file</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This maximally allows the JS compiler to enforce type safety in the presence of externally
|
||
|
|
provided types from Angular, and means you don't have to worry about Angular vars being obfuscated
|
||
|
|
in a confusing way. </p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Note to readers outside Google: the current externs file is located in an internal-to-Google
|
||
|
|
directory, but an example can be found on github <a href="https://github.com/angular/angular.js/pull/4722">
|
||
|
|
here</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="compilerflags">JSCompiler Flags</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Reminder</b>: According to the JS style guide, customer facing code must be compiled.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Recommended</b>: Use the JSCompiler (the closure compiler that works with js_binary by
|
||
|
|
default) and ANGULAR_COMPILER_FLAGS_FULL from //javascript/angular/build_defs/build_defs for
|
||
|
|
your base flags.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Note - if you are using @export for methods, you will need to add the compiler flag</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
"--generate_exports",
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If you are using @export for properties, you will need to add the flags:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
"--generate_exports",
|
||
|
|
"--remove_unused_prototype_props_in_externs=false",
|
||
|
|
"--export_local_property_definitions",
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="controllers">Controllers and Scopes</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>Controllers are classes. Methods should be defined on MyCtrl.prototype.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Google Angular applications should use the <b>'controller as'</b> style to export the controller
|
||
|
|
onto the scope. This is fully implemented in Angular 1.2 and can be mimicked in pre-Angular 1.2
|
||
|
|
builds.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Pre Angular 1.2, this looks like:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* Home controller.
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* @param {!angular.Scope} $scope
|
||
|
|
* @constructor
|
||
|
|
* @ngInject
|
||
|
|
* @export
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
hello.mainpage.HomeCtrl = function($scope) {
|
||
|
|
/** @export */
|
||
|
|
$scope.homeCtrl = this; // This is a bridge until Angular 1.2 controller-as
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* @type {string}
|
||
|
|
* @export
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
this.myColor = 'blue';
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* @param {number} a
|
||
|
|
* @param {number} b
|
||
|
|
* @export
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
hello.mainpage.HomeCtrl.prototype.add = function(a, b) {
|
||
|
|
return a + b;
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>And the template:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
<div ng-controller="hello.mainpage.HomeCtrl"/>
|
||
|
|
<span ng-class="homeCtrl.myColor">I'm in a color!</span>
|
||
|
|
<span>{{homeCtrl.add(5, 6)}}</span>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>After Angular 1.2, this looks like:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* Home controller.
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* @constructor
|
||
|
|
* @ngInject
|
||
|
|
* @export
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
hello.mainpage.HomeCtrl = function() {
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* @type {string}
|
||
|
|
* @export
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
this.myColor = 'blue';
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* @param {number} a
|
||
|
|
* @param {number} b
|
||
|
|
* @export
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
hello.mainpage.HomeCtrl.prototype.add = function(a, b) {
|
||
|
|
return a + b;
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If you are compiling with property renaming, expose properties and methods using the @export
|
||
|
|
annotation. Remember to @export the constructor as well.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>And in the template:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
<div ng-controller="hello.mainpage.HomeCtrl as homeCtrl"/>
|
||
|
|
<span ng-class="homeCtrl.myColor">I'm in a color!</span>
|
||
|
|
<span>{{homeCtrl.add(5, 6)}}</span>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Why?</b>
|
||
|
|
Putting methods and properties directly onto the controller, instead of building up a scope
|
||
|
|
object, fits better with the Google Closure class style. Additionally, using 'controller as'
|
||
|
|
makes it obvious which controller you are accessing when multiple controllers apply to an element.
|
||
|
|
Since there is always a '.' in the bindings, you don't have to worry about prototypal inheritance
|
||
|
|
masking primitives.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="directives">Directives</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>All DOM manipulation should be done inside directives. Directives should be kept small and use
|
||
|
|
composition. Files defining directives should goog.provide a static function which returns the
|
||
|
|
directive definition object.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
||
|
|
goog.provide('hello.pane.paneDirective');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* Description and usage
|
||
|
|
* @return {angular.Directive} Directive definition object.
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
hello.pane.paneDirective = function() {
|
||
|
|
// ...
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Exception</b>: DOM manipulation may occur in services for DOM elements disconnected from the
|
||
|
|
rest of the view, e.g. dialogs or keyboard shortcuts.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="services">Services</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Services registered on the module with <code>module.service</code> are classes.
|
||
|
|
Use <code>module.service</code> instead of <code>module.provider</code> or
|
||
|
|
<code>module.factory</code> unless you need to do initialization beyond just creating a
|
||
|
|
new instance of the class.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|

|
||

|

hello.request.Request = function($http) {

hello.request.Request.prototype.get = function() {/*...*/};
|

</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In the module:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">

<h2>2 Angular Style Rules</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="dollarsign">Reserve $ for Angular properties and services</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>Do not use $ to prepend your own object properties and service identifiers. Consider this style
|
||
|
|
of naming reserved by AngularJS and jQuery.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Yes:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
||
|
|
$scope.myModel = { value: 'foo' }
|
||
|
|
myModule.service('myService', function() { /*...*/ });
|
||
|
|
var MyCtrl = function($http) {this.http_ = $http;};
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><font color="red">No:</font></p>
|
||
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint">
|
||
|
|
$scope.$myModel = { value: 'foo' } // BAD
|
||
|
|
$scope.myModel = { $value: 'foo' } // BAD
|
||
|
|
myModule.service('$myService', function() { ... }); // BAD
|
||
|
|
var MyCtrl = function($http) {this.$http_ = $http;}; // BAD
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Why?</b>
|
||
|
|
It's useful to distinguish between Angular / jQuery builtins and things you add yourself.
|
||
|
|
In addition, $ is not an acceptable character for variables names in the JS style guide.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="customelements">Custom elements</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>For custom elements (e.g. <code><ng-include src="template"></ng-include></code>), IE8
|
||
|
|
requires special support (html5shiv-like hacks) to enable css styling. Be aware of this
|
||
|
|
restriction in apps targeting old versions of IE.</p>

<h2>3 Angular Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>These are not strict style guide rules, but are placed here as reference for folks getting

started with Angular at Google.</p>

<h3 id="testing">Testing</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Angular is designed for test-driven development.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The recommended unit testing setup is Jasmine + Karma (though you could use closure tests
|
||
|
|
or js_test)</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Angular provides easy adapters to load modules and use the injector in Jasmine tests.

<h3 id="nginject">Use @ngInject for easy dependency injection compilation</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>This removes the need to add <code>myCtrl['$inject'] = ...</code> to prevent minification from
|
||
|
|
messing up Angular's dependency injection.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Usage:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* My controller.
|
||
|
|
* @param {!angular.$http} $http
|
||
|
|
* @param {!my.app.myService} myService
|
||
|
|
* @constructor
|
||
|
|
* @export
|
||
|
|
* @ngInject
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
my.app.MyCtrl = function($http, myService) {
|
||
|
|
//...
|
||
|
|
};
|
