Configuration file in AngularJS

Question

What is the best way to create config file (Something like web config in .net), for storing urls, and other constants that may vary during the application deploy?

Answer 1

IMHO, I don't like handling config files with task runners. Cause you will need to rebuild your whole application just to change a line or two every time you need a different configuration.

Using the .config of angular is a good thing and I would do something like (borrowing from the example of the first answer)

angular.module('app').constant('MONGOLAB_CONFIG', {
  baseUrl: '/databases/',
  dbName: 'ascrum'
});

let's name this as app.config.js

And this will be linked in the .html right after the minified script like this

 //the application's minified script

You can just then edit the app.config.js file without re running any tasks. So you can have different app.config.js files on different machines/environments without re building the app again and again
