1. Explain me what is injector?
An injector is a service locator. It is used to retrieve object instances as defined by provider, instantiate types, invoke methods and load modules. There is a single injector per Angular application, it helps to look up an object instance by its name.
2. Tell me when should you use an attribute versus an element?
Use an element when you are creating a component that is in control of the template. Use an attribute when you are decorating an existing element with new functionality.
This topic is important so developers can understand the several ways a directive can be used inside a view and when to use each way.
3. What is ng-disabled directive?
ng-disabled directive disables a given control.
In below example, we've added ng-disabled attribute to a HTML button and pass it a model. Then we've attached the model to an checkbox and can see the variation.
<input type = "checkbox" ng-model = "enableDisableButton">Disable Button
<button ng-disabled = "enableDisableButton">Click Me!</button>
4. Tell me what is string interpolation in Angular.js?
In Angular.js the compiler during the compilation process matches text and attributes using interpolate service to see if they contains embedded expressions. As part of normal digest cycle these expressions are updated and registered as watches.
5. Tell me what are AngularJS expressions?
Expressions are used to bind application data to html. Expressions are written inside double braces like {{ expression}}. Expressions behave in same way as ng-bind directives. AngularJS application expressions are pure JavaScript expressions and outputs the data where they are used.
6. Tell me how $scope.$apply() works?
$scope.$apply re-evaluates all the declared ng-models and applies the change to any that have been altered (i.e. assigned to a new value)
Explanation: $scope.$apply() is one of the core angular functions that should never be used explicitly, it forces the angular engine to run on all the watched variables and all external variables and apply the changes on their values
7. Explain what are the characteristics of “Scope”?
☛ To observer model mutations scopes provide APIs ($watch)
☛ To propagate any model changes through the system into the view from outside of the Angular realm
☛ A scope inherits properties from its parent scope, while providing access to shared model properties, scopes can be nested to isolate application components
☛ Scope provides context against which expressions are evaluated
8. Tell me is AngularJS extensible?
Yes! In AngularJS we can create custom directive to extend AngularJS existing functionalities.
Custom directives are used in AngularJS to extend the functionality of HTML. Custom directives are defined using "directive" function. A custom directive simply replaces the element for which it is activated. AngularJS application during bootstrap finds the matching elements and do one time activity using its compile() method of the custom directive then process the element using link() method of the custom directive based on the scope of the directive.
9. Explain routing in AngularJS?
It is concept of switching views. AngularJS based controller decides which view to render based on the business logic.
10. Explain me what is $rootScope?
Scope is a special JavaScript object which plays the role of joining controller with the views. Scope contains the model data. In controllers, model data is accessed via $scope object. $rootScope is the parent of all of the scope variables.
