ng-wrap

Wrap any global variable in Angular service for dependency injection

Install: bower install ng-wrap --save Use:

Provides single module ng-wrap with ngWrap function ngWrap(<global name>, leaveGlobal);

// index.html
// include angular
// include lodash (for this example)
<script src="bower_components/ng-wrap/ng-wrap.js"></script>
<script>
    // removes _ from global namespace, instead allow injecting it as dependency
    angular.module('AppInRun', ['ng-wrap'])
      .run(function (ngWrap) {
        console.log('wrapping _');
        ngWrap('_');
        // no more window._
        // _ can be injected into other methods now
      })
      .controller('AppController', function ($scope, _) {
        console.log('AppController');
        console.log('injected typeof _ is', typeof _);
        console.log('window._ ?', typeof window._);
      });
    // you may also wrap your providers during the config stage of Angular's bootstrapping process
    angular.module('AppInConfig', ['ng-wrap'])
      .config(function (ngWrapProvider) {
        console.log('wrapping _');
        ngWrapProvider.wrap('_');
        // no more window._
        // _ can be injected into other methods now
      })
      .controller('AppController', function ($scope, _) {
        console.log('AppController');
        console.log('injected typeof _ is', typeof _);
        console.log('window._ ?', typeof window._);
      });

</script>
// output
wrapping _
AppController
injected typeof _ is function
window._ ? undefined
