Can it be injected into another provider?

[yleemj]

app.provider('Item', ['$localStorage',
function($localStorage) {
................
}])

seems not working, cannot find the $localStorage provider

Just inject it in your app and on the closure.

app.module('yourMod', ['ngStorage']);
app.provider('item', function($localStorage) {});

Can also be done with more explicit dependency injection

app.module('yourMod', ['ngStorage']);
app.provider('item', ['$localStorage', function($localStorage) {}]);

Just curiosity, what is the main advantage/difference of injecting it the way you proposed with an array @egilkh?

[egilkh]

Mainly I think it's useful for minify/uglify tasks that try to mangle your parameters. Another thing you can do is "alias" the name of the injection. Example:

app.provider('item', ['$localStorage', function(ls) {}]);

Personally I like it more because it's just more verbose and there is no guesswork when reading the code.

Makes lot of sense. Thank you for the note and the reference. So useful.
