Researching how to implement OAuth specifically with Angular can be done by starting with a simple Google search for 'angular oauth'. The first result usually leads to a helpful tutorial such as this one:
It's worth noting that there are likely existing maintained modules available for implementing OAuth, so it may be beneficial to explore those options as well.
Edit When calling async endpoints using TypeScript and Angular, avoid using jQuery alongside Angular. For beginners in JavaScript or those new to Angular, it's generally advisable to refrain from incorporating jQuery into Angular development. Controllers and Services in Angular act as prototype constructors expressed as classes in TypeScript. Any class registered with the service() method in Angular is automatically treated as a singleton.
For example:
// defining a TypeScript module
// encapsulating code to prevent global scope pollution
// note that angular modules differ
module app {
// exporting the class allows accessing its API from tests without directly instantiating it
// use $injector.get('myService') instead of direct instantiation in tests
export class MyService {
static $inject = ['$http'];
constructor(private $http: ng.IHttpService) {}
getMyEndpoint() {
return this.$http.get('http://myendpoint.com/myendpoint');
}
}
// registering the class as a singleton service
angular.module('app').service('myService', MyService);
}
Similar concepts apply to controllers where a previously created singleton service is utilized:
module app {
export class MyController {
data: MyData[];
static $inject = ['myService'];
constructor(myService: MyService) {
myService.getMyEndpoint().then(
(data) => {
this.data = data;
}
);
}
}
angular.module('app').controller('MyController', MyController);
}
Notice that $scope is not passed into the controller, and results of service calls are placed on public properties within the class for easy access using the controllerAs syntax. This approach eliminates scope inheritance issues associated with binding to scopes directly, thereby enhancing code maintainability.
Camel-case naming convention distinguishes services (e.g., myServcie) as singletons compared to pascal-case for controllers (e.g., MyController). Singleton instances are shared among components, while new instances are generated upon retrieval for controllers.
To ensure testability of class APIs without manual instantiation, consider wrapping your application in a closure at build time, which tools like Uglifyjs can assist with.
