Main/Entry File To the Project

index.js is the main entry file which serves as the total include point for all of your components, services, assets, and styles.

Notice that throughout the project, that the angular setter/getter is called once, and is assigned to a constant which is passed through each of the dependancy trees so that it is exposed to the rest of the imported/exported components.

Why? Because this makes your components more modular, allowing whatever angular.module object to be assigned to the exported component/component set.

// index.js
// Angular & Router ES6 Imports
import angular from 'angular';
import angularUIRouter from 'angular-ui-router';
import appComponents from './components/components.js';
import commonComponents from './common/components.js';
import appServices from './services/services.js';
import appConfiguration from './app.config';

// Single Style Entry Point
import './index.scss';

if (ENVIRONMENT === 'test') {
  console.log('ENV:', ENVIRONMENT);
  require('angular-mocks/angular-mocks');
}

const app = angular.module('app', ['ui.router']);

// Components Entrypoint
appComponents(app);

// Common Components Entrypoint
commonComponents(app);

// App Services Entrypoint
appServices(app);

// Router Configuration
// Components must be declared first since
// Routes reference controllers that will be bound to route templates.
// appConfiguration(app);
