Angular & Signals (283 Qs)•Part 5: Animations, Service Workers, Ivy Engine & Builders (101 - 123)
What are the differences between AngularJS and Angular with respect to dependency injection?
Dependency injection is a common component in both AngularJS and Angular, but there are some key differences between the two frameworks in how it actually works.
| AngularJS | Angular |
|---|---|
| Dependency injection tokens are always strings | Tokens can have different types. They are often classes and sometimes can be strings. |
| There is exactly one injector even though it is a multi-module applications | There is a tree hierarchy of injectors, with a root injector and an additional injector for each component. |
Practical Code Example

// Dependency Injection: AngularJS vs Angular:
// AngularJS: String-based DI (vulnerable to minification bugs without string array wrappers)
// Angular: Type-token based hierarchical DI with @Injectable() and compile-time verification
