I'd like to declare some enums that should be globally accessed from anywhere in my application, eg:

enum AIState { Asleep, Idling, Chasing, Fleeing, HavingLunch };

Question: where and how do I have to declare those enums withint an angularjs app?

main.js:

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.config(...);

I later want to access them using AIState.Asleep, so I could pass them as a parameter and delegate my logic accordingly.

• javascript
• angularjs
• enums

• Ok then what are remended ways of declaring the enum inside? – membersound Commented Jun 8, 2016 at 13:13
• Are you asking for a way to create a set of enum-like constants? JavaScript has no native enum facility. – Pointy Commented Jun 8, 2016 at 13:13
• Yes, probably I'm asking this... from the java point of view. – membersound Commented Jun 8, 2016 at 13:15

1 Answer 1

use constant

angular
    .module('myApp', ['ngRoute'])
    .constant("myConfig", {
        "key": "value"
    })

you can inject constant as dependency and can use it

myApp.controller('myButton', ['myConfig', function(myConfig) {
  var k = myConfig['key'];
});

Basically you can use constant or value.
