angular js defining module multiple times not working

Question

I am trying to redefine angular.module multiple times one is for controller and one is for service etc. TestService is a factory which is defined in test.js and i want to use it in current html page.

HTML

<script src="test.js"></script>

<script>
var app = angular.module("myapp", ['TestService']).controller(
    "MyController", function($scope, $cookies,TestService ) {

<script>

Now i have another javascript page where i am trying to write a service.

test.js

angular.module("myapp").factory('TestService', function() {
     return {
        sayHello: function(){
            return "Factory says hi;
        }

    } 
});

i am getting the error 'TestService' is not available!

Your HTML should look like this:

<script>
    var app = angular.module("myapp", [])
    .controller("MyController", function($scope, $cookies, TestService) {
        // ...
    });
</script>

<script src="test.js"></script>

Meaning that you first need to define module (angular.module("myapp", [])), then register service on it.

yes, but is it not required to inject the service inside the square bracket here? i.e angular.module("myapp", ['TestService']) vs angular.module("myapp", [])

When you create module you don't inject anything, those are dependent modules in brackets, not services. So you could for example create module Test, put your service there and then use Test as a dependency for main module.

angular.module('Test', []).factory('TestService', function() { ... }); angular.module('myapp', ['Test']).controller('MyController', function() { ... })
