<div><h2 id="description">Description</h2>
<div class="description"><div class="angular-module-page"><p>The <code>angular.module</code> is a global place for creating, registering and retrieving Angular
modules.
All modules (angular core or 3rd party) that should be available to an application must be
registered using this mechanism.</p>
<p>When passed two or more arguments, a new module is created.  If passed only one argument, an
existing module (the name passed as the first argument to <code>module</code>) is retrieved.</p>
<h3 id="description_module">Module</h3>
<p>A module is a collection of services, directives, filters, and configuration information.
<code>angular.module</code> is used to configure the <a href="api/AUTO.$injector"><code>$injector</code></a>.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
// Create a new module
var myModule = angular.module('myModule', []);

// register a new service
myModule.value('appName', 'MyCoolApp');

// configure existing services inside initialization blocks.
myModule.config(function($locationProvider) {
  // Configure existing providers
  $locationProvider.hashPrefix('!');
});
</pre>
<p>Then you can create an injector and load your modules like this:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
var injector = angular.injector(['ng', 'MyModule'])
</pre>
<p>However it&#39;s more likely that you&#39;ll just use
<a href="api/ng.directive:ngApp"><code>ngApp</code></a> or
<a href="api/angular.bootstrap"><code>angular.bootstrap</code></a> to simplify this process for you.</p>
