What is $$phase in AngularJS?

Question

I found this code snippet which is part of a angular directive someone wrote for bootstrap modal.

//Update the visible value when the dialog is closed

my understanding is it is good to use when digesting or applying the scope. If it is truthy it means that there is currently a $digest or $apply phase in progress. If you are getting related errors you can do $scope.$$phase || $scope.digest(); which will only digest if $scope.$$pahse is falsy.
