Three Things

Needs

Cautions

Plans

Needs

Need: Robust Error Handling

Catch At The Top Of The Chain

Need: Consistent Error Handling

Error Service Usage

Consistent Display

Need: Decorators

See All The Errors

Decorators For Instrumentation

Sanitize Decorator Output

Decorators For Debugging

Need: $http Interceptors

Need: Custom Directives

Need: Unit Tests

Inject All The Things

Use $controller With What You Need

Possibly Redefine The SUT

Protractor

Use Page Objects

Use Controller As

Explicit in the view

Simplifies tests

Cautions

Avoid: $rootScope Abuse

Let’s store errors

Let’s store loading messages

Let’s store user profile

Let’s store configuration constants

Avoid: Promise Abuse

Promises Chain!

Planning

Think About: Your Router

Look at UI-Router

Think About: A Better $http

BreezeJS

Restangular

Caching, configuration, offline…

Think About: AMD

Think About: Resolve

Resolve Pros

View appears with data ready

Easier to stay somewhere is there is an error

Easier to test controllers

Resolve Everything

Move Resolve To A Service

Think About: Authentication and

Authorization

Cookies or Tokens?

Cookies

Sent with every request

Susceptible to CSRF

Difficult to use across domains

Tokens

Offer more control, no forgeries

Work across domains

Require more code

Logins and Redirects

GET /secret redirect redirect GET /secret

Managing Tokens

Think About: Basic Abstractions

Controller

Model

Service

Directive

Filter

Think About: Code Standards

Think About: Directory Structure

I like feature based

apps

module.js

templates

specs

common

Summary

Error handling

Decorators, interceptors

Custom directives

Code style and structure
