Sometimes, we may need to manually initialize the Angular application to have more control over the initialization process. We can perform such task using angular.bootstrap() function within angular.element(document).ready() function. AngularJS uses this function when the DOM is ready for manipulation.
The angular.bootstrap() function uses two parameters, the document, and the module name injector.
In AngularJS, the manual bootstrap process refers to the initialization of the AngularJS application manually, rather than relying on the automatic bootstrapping that occurs when the page loads. This process is useful in scenarios where you have more control over when and how the AngularJS application starts.
Here’s an explanation of the manual bootstrap process in AngularJS:
- Include AngularJS script: Make sure to include the AngularJS script in your HTML file. You can either download it and host it locally or use a CDN.
html
<script src="path/to/angular.js"></script>
- Create the AngularJS module: Define your AngularJS module using the
angular.module
function. This is where you define the components, controllers, services, etc., that make up your application.javascriptvar myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
- Configure the module (if needed): You can configure your module using the
config
function if there are any configuration tasks to perform.javascriptmyApp.config(function () {
// Configuration tasks
});
- Manually bootstrap the application: Use the
angular.bootstrap
function to manually initiate the AngularJS application. This function takes the DOM element where the application should be anchored and the module name.javascriptangular.bootstrap(document.getElementById('myAppContainer'), ['myApp']);
Replace
'myAppContainer'
with the ID of the HTML element where you want to bootstrap your AngularJS application.
By following these steps, you have taken control of the bootstrapping process, allowing you to delay the initialization of the AngularJS application until a specific event or condition is met. This manual approach is especially useful in scenarios where you need more control over the application lifecycle
