AngularJS Skill

Note: AngularJS (1.x) is in Long-Term Support (LTS). New projects should use Angular (2+). These guidelines cover maintaining legacy AngularJS code and migrating it incrementally to modern Angular.

Code Style & Conventions

• Follow the John Papa AngularJS Style Guide as the canonical reference.
• One component / controller / service per file.
• Use IIFE wrappers to avoid polluting the global scope.
• Use the controllerAs syntax (vm alias) instead of $scope in controllers.
• Name files: feature.type.js (e.g., user.controller.js, auth.service.js).
• Prefix custom directives with a short app-specific namespace (e.g., app-user-card).
• Follow existing code style and conventions in the project — consistency over strict adherence.
