Upgrading To AngularJS 1.3+ Style

The first step of any migration is to upgrade the codebases style to conform to AngularJS 1.3+ style, ideally an AngularJS 1.5+ style. This means:

• All controllers should be in controllerAs form, and ideally should only exist on directives

• Use directives, specifically "component directives", that use the following properties:

  • restrict: 'E'

  • scope: {}

  • bindToController: {}

  • controllerAs

  • template or templateUrl

  • transclude (optional)

  • require (optional)

• Component directives should not use the following attributes:

  • compile

  • replace: true

  • priority/terminal

• Ideally have one component, or one thing per file

• Ideally have folders organized by feature
