Answer 1

There is a more popular angular-moment project... https://github.com/urish/angular-moment

With it, you can inject moment like this...

app.controller("ctrl", function($scope, moment) {
    $scope.date = new moment();
});

Fiddle

Or if you don't need the additional functionality and directives provided by angular-moment, you can make momentjs injectable in your app by using angular.value() or angular.constant() (angular-moment uses constant() internally to do this)...

app.constant("moment", moment);

app.controller("ctrl", function($scope, moment) {
    $scope.date = new moment();
});

Fiddle

There is a simpler and light weight solution. You can attach it to $window in a factory, so you can use it as angular dependency.

angular
    .module('moment-module', [])
    .factory('moment', function ($window) {
        return $window.moment;
    });

And use it as usual:

app.controller("ctrl", function($scope, moment) {
    $scope.date = new moment();
});

There is detailed explanation here about how to use external resources in angularjs.

Don't forget to add moment to your index.html
