Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "By cleverly using directives and the $compile service, this exact directive functionality is possible."

A block of code is set as follows:

(index.html)

<!-- specify root element of application -->
<div ng-app="myApp">
  <!-- register 'my-template.html' with $templateCache -->
  <script type="text/ng-template" id="my-template.html">
    <div ng-repeat="num in [1,2,3,4,5]">{{ num }}</div>
  </script>  
  
  <!-- your custom element -->
  <my-directive></my-directive>
</div>

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

(app.js)

.directive('iso', function () {
  return {
    scope: {}
  };
});

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

npm install protractor grunt-protractor-runner --save-dev

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "The following directive will display NW, NE, SW, or SE depending on where the cursor is relative to it."

Note

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
