What is $get in AngularJS?

Question

I haven't been able to find documentation in AngularJS docs on use-cases of $get. I'm trying to understand where and how to use it.

Below is an example from the AngularJS docs

function GoodProvider() {
  this.$get = angular.noop;
}

Does this attach angular.noop to the GoodProvider function?

Answer 1

Yes, it attaches noop.

Look at the documentation on Providers, https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/providers

"The Provider recipe is syntactically defined as a custom type that implements a $get method. This method is a factory function just like the one we use in the Factory recipe. In fact, if you define a Factory recipe, an empty Provider type with the $get method set to your factory function is automatically created under the hood."
