angular-module-shim

Install

bower install --save angular-module-shim

Rationale

Adjusts the behaviour of angular.module so as to make module retrieval and creation order agnostic.

In other words you can append components onto modules without worrying whether the module has been explicitly created yet.

Particularly useful when your Angular project has a scalable/granular file structure with module creation and retrieval happening in individual files but your build process is just concatenating app files together in an arbitrary order.

Makes the following code legal:

angular.module('foo')
    .controller('FooCtrl',function () {});

angular.module('foo',['bar','baz']);
