"Services" section about angularjs-style-guide HOT 4 CLOSED

• According to the AngularJS documentation, there is a component called "service", which could be defined using .factory, .service or .provider. The services section summarize all ways of creating services. You're right that there might be misunderstanding so I'm going to include additional information, in order to clarify it.
• The services defined with .service are instantiated through $injector.instantiate invoking the constructor function with the new operator (just like you said). Naming services created with .factory and ones created with .service in different way is definitely inconsistent. My suggestion is to use UpperCamelCase for services, which define constructor function, which later when the service have been injected, could be invoked with new, i.e.:

module.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, User) {
  $scope.user = new User('foo', 42);
});

module.factory('User', function () {
  return function User(name, age) {
    this.name = name;
    this.age = age;
  };
});

• Klassical is intentional misspelling. Since in JavaScript we don't have classes and the "classical" OOP impossible some authors (like Stoyan Stefanov in his "JavaScript Patterns"), intentionally misspell classes with "k", I'm just following them.

@hansifer I did some additional changes in the "Services" section. Please, take a look and tell me whether you find it more clear and correct in order to close the issue.

Thanks for the quick reply and clarifications. I'm still relatively new to Angular and your explanations offer new insight.

The updates look good, thanks.
