How does DI benefit in Angular?

There are two big benefits of DI: - Decoupling and Testing.
Let’s first start with Decoupling. Consider your application has a logger functionality which helps to log errors , warning etc in some central place. This central place can be a file, event viewer, database etc.

function FileLogger()
{
        this.Log = function () {
            alert("File logger");
        };
}
function EventLogger()
{
        this.Log = function () {
            alert("Event viewer logger");
        };
}

Now let’s say you have a “Customer” class who wants to use the “Logger” classes. Now which “Logger” class to use depends on configuration.

So the code of “Customer” is something as shown below. So depending on the configuration “Customer” class either creates “FileLogger” or it creates “EventLogger” object.

function Customer($scope, Logger)
{
        $scope.Logger = {};
        if (config.Loggertype = "File")
{
            $scope.Logger = new FileLogger();
        }
        else
{
            $scope.Logger = new EventLogger();
        }
}

But with DI our code becomes something as shown below. The “Customer” class says he is not worried from where the “Logger” object comes and which type of “Logger” objects are needed .He just wants to use the “Logger” object.

function Customer($scope,$http, Logger)
{
        $scope.Logger = Logger;
}

With this approach when a new “Logger” object gets added the “Customer” class does not have to worry about the new changes because the dependent objects are injected by some other system.
The second benefit of DI is testing. Let’s say you want to test the “Customer” class and you do not have internet connection. So your “$http” object method calls can throw errors. But now you can mock a fake “$http” object and run your customer class offline without errors.The fake object is injected using DI.
