Answer 1

A minor issue comparing to the great advices in Artem's answer, but in terms of code readability, I found best to define the API completely inside the return object, to minimize going back and forth in code to look wheverer variables are defined:

angular.module('myModule', [])
// or .constant instead of .value
.value('myConfig', {
  var1: value1,
  var2: value2
  ...
})
.factory('myFactory', function(myConfig) {
  ...preliminary work with myConfig...
  return {
    // comments
    myAPIproperty1: ...,
    ...
    myAPImethod1: function(arg1, ...) {
    ...
    }
  }
});

If the return object becomes looking "too crowded", that is a sign that the Service is doing too much.
