AngularJS and modularisation

Question

AngularJs provides you the possibility to create modules. All fine. It also give you the power to add components to your modules like service, controller, etc...

My only problem with that is that no matter in what module did you define a component, from another module it can be entirely overwritten.

Examples:

app.module('aModule').controller('SimpleController', functino(){...});
app.module('bModule').controller('SimpleController', functino(){...});

If you try to define let's say a state definiction with ui-router, it will just won't work well, since one controller will completely overwrite the one loaded first.

Did you guys met with this problem too or it's just me?

nice question. Name space collision is a real problem for Angular 1 users. I am really curious in any efficient solution, other than "naming your components properly" ... — Yerken

no, that's normal behavior. You can namespace it like 'component.controller' (so do this in the name of the controller, not the module) which helps, other then that is not possible in Angular 1

nah, it won't help neither. It's just naming your modules but it won't have any affect on overwriting your controllers which has the same name.

he meant name controllers according the containing module.

I see, but I would not use this workaround. Would be a mess when trying injecting those services/values/etc..

Maarten Over a year ago

fine, but that workaround is the only 'solution' as far as I know.
