I'm looking for some community feedback on the topic of SEFs/IIFEs and
Angular 1.2x. Some things I have read seem to lean heavily on the side of
using them everywhere, no matter what, if you are writing JavaScript. In
jQuery I feel this was true, as well as for raw JS, but I just don't see
the need to use them with Angular. This is because I believe that Angular
already encapsulates things when controllers etc. are defined if you do it
right. By this, I mean writing:
window.myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.controller('controller1', ['$scope', function($scope){
//this stuff is encapsulated so why use a SEF?
}]);
as opposed to:
(function(){
angular.module('myApp').controller('controller1', controllerFunction);
controllerFunction.$inject = ['$scope'];
function controllerFunction($scope){
//this stuff is not encapsulated and needs a SEF
}
})();
Concerns of minification aside, is one way better than the other or is this
just a matter of personal preference? FWIW, I prefer the first method and
the lack of a SEF but I want to make sure that the project is done right
from a technical point of view and not cater to personal preferences.
