Self-study notes:

what is state ?

.state
@ AngularApp.js
define the url -> controller -> view.html relationship
define "otherwise" page redirection

.controller
@ AngularApp.js

where is view ?

place <ui-view></ui-view> into index.ejs
- to tell ui-router where to place the javascript-triggered template view

what is factory ?

kind of an Angular service
return common object for different controllers
can keep data for an application lifetime
main logics should go here than in controllers

what is data-binding ?

to allow showing synchronised model data into view at all time

- AngularJS will be responsible for this

what is special with $scope ?

- note for the special dollar sign
- bridge between AngularJS controller and view 
- can bind with functions or variables
- {{hhhhheelllooooo}} as notation in view

Any difference between .config and .run ?

Config block > service > injector > run block

Structure of an AngularJS app:

- defines config, which defines routes
- defines controllers
- defines factories, blablabla ...

Why there is a $ sign for some variables?

AngularJS will inject these special-defined variables into the functions

A look as sample on my "sticker" function:
