AngularJS is an open-source JavaScript framework, maintained by Google, that assists with running single-page applications. Its goal is to augment web-based applications with model–view–controller (MVC) capability, in an effort to make both development and testing easier.

In this lesson Trevor looks at testing AngularJS controllers with scope inheritance with Jasmine and test spies.

Testing Controllers With Dependencies

Using Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) techniques, you can easily decorate AngularJS controller methods to add additional behaviors. This can be useful for handling analytics and other common concerns in a typical application.

Create a Scope Decorator

Custom Jasmine Matchers are a great way to keep your AngularJS Unit Tests clean and tidy. We want to make expectations **readable** and express the intent of the test. Custom matchers help to accomplish this.

Events are a useful tool for triggering functionality based on something that has occurred in your application. In this lesson, we will build upon the concepts from the [create a scope decorator](https://egghead.io/lessons/angularjs-create-a-scope-decorator) lesson to create an event decorator that can be used to cleanly compose functionality on top of Angular events.

Decorating an Angular event for composed behavior

One of the beautiful things about dependency injection in your AngularJS apps is the ability to replace dependencies in your unit tests. In this lesson Trevor looks at how to configure Jasmine spies as injectable replacements for dependencies for testing.

Inject Jasmine Spies With $provide

Angular overrides quite a few existing HTML elements and attributes. This can be a useful technique in our own applications. We will build a directive that adds additional functionality to the `src` property of an `<img>`

Hijacking Existing HTML Attributes with Angular Directives

It is best to start your application's localization efforts **early** in development, even if you only support one language initially. Libraries like angular-localization help make the process of supporting additional languages much easier.

In this lesson Trevor will show you how to transform your requests using AngularJS's $http service's transformRequest option and TDD. This allows you to keep your applications domain clean when integrating with third party APIs.

In his debut lesson, Trevor **test drives** the transformation of a response from an external REST service using the the `transformResponse` option of AngularJS's `$http` service.

JavaScript® (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions, most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic, and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

Flowchart.js is a great tool for creating quick, simple flowcharts in a way that keeps you out of a WYSIWYG, and keeps your productive. No more drawing lines, no more determining how to draw a shape, no more deciding relative size and distance. Flowchart.js makes it easy to prototype new concepts and confirm product flows. Built in JavaScript, the library is complete with HTML rendering and a standard grammar and syntax for creating your flows.
