    How to build an Angular app from scratch


First, we're going to assume that we already have a basic html boilerplate set up. Make sure that Angular is downloaded and linked in our index.html above our application script (usually named app.js).

<!-- VENDOR SCRIPTS -->
<script src="/vendor/angular/angular.min.js"></script>

<!-- APPLICATION SCRIPTS -->
<script src="/scripts/app.js"></script>

To start with our Angular app, we define our app in app.js.

  var app = angular.module('appName', []);

Then, we insert an ng-app directive into our index.html file to "direct" it to act as an Angular app.

<html lang="en" ng-app="appName">

If we're using a controller, we also need to define it in app.js.

app.controller('PageController', PageController);

Then, we declare its use in our index.html with the ng-controller directive.

<div ng-controller="PageController as pageCtrl">
