Module: $resolve

Requires

• module:$q
• module:$injector

Methods

resolve(invocables, locals, parent, self) → {Promise.<Object>}

Resolves a set of invocables. An invocable is a function to be invoked via $injector.invoke(), and can have an arbitrary number of dependencies. An invocable can either return a value directly, or a $q promise. If a promise is returned it will be resolved and the resulting value will be used instead. Dependencies of invocables are resolved (in this order of precedence)

• from the specified locals
• from another invocable that is part of this $resolve call
• from an invocable that is inherited from a parent call to $resolve (or recursively from any ancestor $resolve of that parent).

The return value of $resolve is a promise for an object that contains (in this order of precedence)

• any locals (if specified)
• the resolved return values of all injectables
• any values inherited from a parent call to $resolve (if specified)

The promise will resolve after the parent promise (if any) and all promises returned by injectables have been resolved. If any invocable (or $injector.invoke) throws an exception, or if a promise returned by an invocable is rejected, the $resolve promise is immediately rejected with the same error. A rejection of a parent promise (if specified) will likewise be propagated immediately. Once the $resolve promise has been rejected, no further invocables will be called.

Cyclic dependencies between invocables are not permitted and will caues $resolve to throw an error. As a special case, an injectable can depend on a parameter with the same name as the injectable, which will be fulfilled from the parent injectable of the same name. This allows inherited values to be decorated. Note that in this case any other injectable in the same $resolve with the same dependency would see the decorated value, not the inherited value.

Note that missing dependencies -- unlike cyclic dependencies -- will cause an (asynchronous) rejection of the $resolve promise rather than a (synchronous) exception.

Invocables are invoked eagerly as soon as all dependencies are available. This is true even for dependencies inherited from a parent call to $resolve.

As a special case, an invocable can be a string, in which case it is taken to be a service name to be passed to $injector.get(). This is supported primarily for backwards-compatibility with the resolve property of $routeProvider routes.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
invocables	Object.<string, Function | string>		functions to invoke or $injector services to fetch.
locals	Object.<string, *>	<optional>	values to make available to the injectables
parent	Promise.<Object>	<optional>	a promise returned by another call to $resolve.
self	Object	<optional>	the this for the invoked methods

Source:

• resolve.js, line 209

Returns:

Promise for an object that contains the resolved return value of all invocables, as well as any inherited and local values.

Type

Promise.<Object>

study(invocables) → {Function}

Studies a set of invocables that are likely to be used multiple times. $resolve.study(invocables)(locals, parent, self) is equivalent to $resolve.resolve(invocables, locals, parent, self) but the former is more efficient (in fact resolve just calls study internally). See module:$resolve/resolve for details.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
invocables	Object
