How to inject dependencies into a provider using Angularjs?

Question

Is it possible to do DI in a provider method?

In this example

angular.module(\'greet\',[])
.provider(\'greeter\',function() {

  this.$get=function()

Following up on IgrCndd's answer, here's a pattern that might avoid potential nastiness:

angular.module('greet',[]).provider('greeter', function() {

    var $http;

    function logIt() {
        console.log($http);
    }

    this.$get = ['$http', function(_$http_) {
        $http = _$http_;

        return {
            logIt: logIt
        };
    }];
});

Note how similar this is to the equivalent service, making conversion between the two less troublesome:

angular.module('greet',[]).factory('greeter', ['$http', function($http) {

    function logIt() {
        console.log($http);
    }

    return {
        logIt: logIt
    };
});
