  name | string | service name
  providerType | Function | Construction function for creating new instance of the service.

- ###

  `factory(name, providerFunction);`

  See $provide.factory().

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string | service name
  providerFunction | Function | Function for creating new instance of the service.

- ###

  `service(name, constructor);`

  See $provide.service().

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string | service name
  constructor | Function | A constructor function that will be instantiated.

- ###

  `value(name, object);`

  See $provide.value().

  #### Parameters

  `constant(name, object);`

  Because the constant are fixed, they get applied before other provide methods. See $provide.constant().

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details

  See $provide.decorator().

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  The | string | name of the service to decorate.
  This | Function | function will be invoked when the service needs to be instantiated and should return the decorated service instance.

- ###

  `animation(name, animationFactory);`

  NOTE: animations take effect only if the ngAnimate module is loaded.

  Defines an animation hook that can be later used with $animate service and directives that use this service.

      module.animation('.animation-name', function($inject1, $inject2) {
        return {
          eventName : function(element, done) {
            //code to run the animation
            //once complete, then run done()
            return function cancellationFunction(element) {
              //code to cancel the animation
            }
          }
        }
      })

  See $animateProvider.register() and ngAnimate module for more information.

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string | animation name
  animationFactory | Function | Factory function for creating new instance of an animation.

- ###

  `filter(name, filterFactory);`

  See $filterProvider.register().

  Note: Filter names must be valid angular `Expressions` identifiers, such as `uppercase` or `orderBy`. Names with special characters, such as hyphens and dots, are not allowed. If you wish to namespace your filters, then you can use capitalization (`myappSubsectionFilterx`) or underscores (`myapp_subsection_filterx`).

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string | Filter name - this must be a valid angular expression identifier
  filterFactory | Function | Factory function for creating new instance of filter.

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  name | string Object | Controller name, or an object map of controllers where the keys are the names and the values are the constructors.
  constructor | Function | Controller constructor function.

- ###

  `directive(name, directiveFactory);`

  See $compileProvider.directive().

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details

  directiveFactory | Function | Factory function for creating new instance of directives.

- ###

  `config(configFn);`

  Use this method to register work which needs to be performed on module loading. For more about how to configure services, see Provider Recipe.

  #### Parameters

  Param | Type | Details
  --- | --- | ---
  configFn | Function | Execute this function on module load. Useful for service configuration.

- ###

  --- | --- | ---
  initializationFn | Function | Execute this function after injector creation. Useful for application initialization.
