## Overview

Interface for configuring AngularJS modules.

## Methods

- ###

  `info([info]);`

  Read and write custom information about this module. For example you could put the version of the module in here.

      angular.module('myModule', []).info({ version: '1.0.0' });

  The version could then be read back out by accessing the module elsewhere:

      var version = angular.module('myModule').info().version;

  You can also retrieve this information during runtime via the `$injector.modules` property:

      var version = $injector.modules['myModule'].info().version;

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  info (optional) | Object | Information about the module

  #### Returns

  Object Module | The current info object for this module if called as a getter, or `this` if called as a setter.

- ###

  `provider(name, providerType);`

  See $provide.provider().

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string | service name
  providerType | Function | Construction function for creating new instance of the service.

- ###

  `factory(name, providerFunction);`

  See $provide.factory().

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string | service name
  providerFunction | Function | Function for creating new instance of the service.

- ###

  `service(name, constructor);`

  See $provide.service().

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string | service name
  constructor | Function | A constructor function that will be instantiated.

- ###

  `value(name, object);`

  See $provide.value().

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string | service name
  object | * | Service instance object.

- ###

  `constant(name, object);`

  Because the constants are fixed, they get applied before other provide methods. See $provide.constant().

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string | constant name
  object | * | Constant value.

- ###

  `decorator(name, decorFn);`

  See $provide.decorator().

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string | The name of the service to decorate.
  decorFn | Function | This function will be invoked when the service needs to be instantiated and should return the decorated service instance.

- ###

  `animation(name, animationFactory);`

  NOTE: animations take effect only if the ngAnimate module is loaded.

  Defines an animation hook that can be later used with $animate service and directives that use this service.

      module.animation('.animation-name', function($inject1, $inject2) {
        return {
          eventName : function(element, done) {
            //code to run the animation
            //once complete, then run done()
            return function cancellationFunction(element) {
              //code to cancel the animation
            }
          }
        }
      })

  See $animateProvider.register() and ngAnimate module for more information.

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string | animation name
  animationFactory | Function | Factory function for creating new instance of an animation.

- ###

  `filter(name, filterFactory);`

  See $filterProvider.register().

  Note: Filter names must be valid AngularJS `Expressions` identifiers, such as `uppercase` or `orderBy`. Names with special characters, such as hyphens and dots, are not allowed. If you wish to namespace your filters, then you can use capitalization (`myappSubsectionFilterx`) or underscores (`myapp_subsection_filterx`).

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string | Filter name - this must be a valid AngularJS expression identifier
  filterFactory | Function | Factory function for creating new instance of filter.

- ###

  `controller(name, constructor);`

  See $controllerProvider.register().

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string Object | Controller name, or an object map of controllers where the keys are the names and the values are the constructors.
  constructor | Function | Controller constructor function.

- ###

  `directive(name, directiveFactory);`

  See $compileProvider.directive().

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string Object | Directive name, or an object map of directives where the keys are the names and the values are the factories.
  directiveFactory | Function | Factory function for creating new instance of directives.

- ###

  `component(name, options);`

  See $compileProvider.component().

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string | Name of the component in camel-case (i.e. myComp which will match as my-comp)
  options | Object | Component definition object (a simplified directive definition object)

- ###

  `config(configFn);`

  Use this method to configure services by injecting their `providers`, e.g. for adding routes to the $routeProvider.

  Note that you can only inject `providers` and `constants` into this function.

  For more about how to configure services, see Provider Recipe.

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  configFn | Function | Execute this function on module load. Useful for service configuration.

- ###

  `run(initializationFn);`

  Use this method to register work which should be performed when the injector is done loading all modules.

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  initializationFn | Function | Execute this function after injector creation. Useful for application initialization.

## Properties

- ### `requires`

  | Holds the list of modules which the injector will load before the current module is loaded.

- ### `name`

  | Name of the module.
