AngularJS - Modules

AngularJS supports modular approach. Modules are used to separate logic such as services, controllers, application etc. from the code and maintain the code clean. We define modules in separate js files and name them as per the module.js file. In the following example, we are going to create two modules −
Application Module − used to initialize an application with controller(s).
Application Module − used to initialize an application with controller(s).
Controller Module − used to define the controller.
Controller Module − used to define the controller.
Here is a file named mainApp.js that contains the following code −
var mainApp = angular.module("mainApp", []);

Here, we declare an application mainApp module using angular.module function and pass an empty array to it. This array generally contains dependent modules.
mainApp.controller("studentController", function($scope) {
   $scope.student = {
      firstName: "Mahesh",
      lastName: "Parashar",
      fees:500,
      
      subjects:[
         {name:'Physics',marks:70},
         {name:'Chemistry',marks:80},
         {name:'Math',marks:65},
         {name:'English',marks:75},
         {name:'Hindi',marks:67}
      ],
      fullName: function() {
         var studentObject;
         studentObject = $scope.student;
         return studentObject.firstName + " " + studentObject.lastName;
      }
   };
});
Here, we declare a controller studentController module using mainApp.controller function.
<div ng-app = "mainApp" ng-controller = "studentController">
   ...
   <script src = "mainApp.js"></script>
   <script src = "studentController.js"></script>
	
</div>

Here, we use application module using ng-app directive, and controller using ngcontroller directive. We import the mainApp.js and studentController.js in the main HTML page.
The following example shows use of all the above mentioned modules.

            padding: 5px;
         }
         table tr:nth-child(odd) {
            background-color: #f2f2f2;
         }
         table tr:nth-child(even) {
            background-color: #ffffff;
         }
