The Difference Between Angular Service and Angular Factory Service

[@crysknife007]

Finally after watching your video I understand the difference. Thanks!

[@Akshay-nl2cy]

Finally after a long struggle to get the concept,understood clearly here...very much thank u sir...

Service service does the service but the service factory service doesn't, so service service service service! :P Subscribed!

[@PieEatinSuicideGrunt]

+Swanidhi Singh Ah that makes sense now! The addTodo inside a service should just adds a todo to the todoArray (or whatever it's called), while the addTodo inside the factory makes a new todo. This is correct right? If so, does that mean you are supposed to use both the factory and the service? (i.e. factory for creation, and service for adding to array).

[@toby1kenobe]

no, dont use both! I think the short story is that if you want to return a function from your service you must use a factory. Otherwise a service will do.

[@UBOATss]

I believe there is much more to this than in the video. Let say you store 100K records into a service, this will never be garbage collected and stay resident into the browser's memory since the Service is a Singleton. Now when you create a Factory with the new keyword you are storing a Singleton into a private variable which is collected by the garbage collector thus the 100K records will be destroyed once the controller is finished.

What a super video. I have went through many blogs but my search ended here for this

[@AIWorkflows]

I have really been wondering about this, great video.

[@alejandrov444]

btw, what do you use to record your videos?

[@mahakjain4121]

Thanks for the video. Understood the benefit of factory over service that we can use it to return a function. But still not clear with purpose of service over a factory. If we can return object as well as function both from a factory why to use service then?

[@yeshwanthchowdary]

Perfect example. Thank you

[@stefaniehall5341]

Wonderfully simple. Thank you.

[@20Raghu]

Great video.And what is the IDE that you are using?

[@SarathKumars]

+Raghu webstorm

[@stephanecastellani2140]

Excellent explanation, thanks

[@BrianGentles]

Great video but where have all the semi-colons gone

[@Mateush53]

+Brian Gentles JS have feature called automatic semicolon insertion, therefor semicolons are optional.

[@denicho2397]

What text editor is this?

[@BinLiutrianglehomes]

great tutorial!!! Thank you!

[@MikeMonji]

What did semicolons ever do to you?

[@mahluleligoodson]

The whole tutorial felt like a decade because of that #lol

[@Patrk38]

semicolons are useless in JS

[@Skaxarrat]

Semicolons are // Not implemented

[@Wolinho]

Perfectly explained - thank you!

[@terrellisaias4279]

i realize Im pretty randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to stream new movies online ?

[@felixjoseph8815]

@Terrell Isaias Meh lately I've been using Flixportal. just search on google for it:P -felix

[@terrellisaias4279]

@Felix Joseph thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it !!

[@felixjoseph8815]

@Terrell Isaias No problem :D

[@ShaikhAhmedReza786]

well explained

[@Lina-mb3vt]

thanks for the video, that was really helpful :)

[@alejandrov444]

Greaaaaaaat video! Thanks

[@vibhatha]

Awesome and really cool :)

[@stanislautsishkou5632]

much clear, thx

So... Angular services are singletons, and factories are multi instances... am i right?

[@TheMacsupa]

As far as I know, no. Factory by its basic meaning, is singleton. But, unlike with services, you can use it by defining an instance of it (with the 'new' keyword) so it can be made just like as you stated.

[@jamespilcher5287]

i still dont see the distinction. surely you could use .service() and in the callback just set this=function () { return blah }, which makes .service() act like .factory()

[@benphillips1]

Agreed, great video, but a giant heap of missing semicolons are crying out in agony.

[@BinLiutrianglehomes]

i was about to ask, why there is no semicolons, is that OK?

[@eBragaParah]

+Bin Liu it's okay syntactically, but it's not seen as a good practice.

[@MayankGupta303]

its a coding style. depends upon developers to developers

[@wfpnknw32]

and the 'service' drinking game is born..

[@pavel2747]

No need for 'new' keyword on lines 33,34 in the end. Great video anyway.

[@daralhandasah8310]

ya thats what i thought too

[@TarekFaham]

Why there is no need for 'new' keyword? Is this because the function is returned? In general, if this is defined using var myFactory = function () {...} then you need to use 'new', is my understanding correct?

[@ehguacho2008]

i've heard you like service, so i put a service in your service so you can service while you service o.O

[@compscilaw]

See those light yellow(I'm colourblind) boxes at the end of the } and other lines. That means you forgot a semicolon, you heathen! hahaha

[@daveh.6098]

thanks for it, but service service and factory service - was for me to much Service and factory should be enough. :)

[@tickelmysoul]

David Hohl man, I couldn't stop laughing reading your comment. But his explanation is easy to understand

[@AlexWohlbruck]

SEMICOLONS

[@ameyb88]

Waste of time.
