AngularJS Tips / Progress bar on route change

If you need an effect of progressbar-like between different states of an application. Here is quick and dirty solution.

Dependencies

• ui-router - of course you can use ngRoute, but I don't recommend so.
• ngprogress-lite github official page - to get filling how it's works follow to the official page and look on the top of the page;

Ideal

Use something like that between states:

$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function(){
  ngProgressLite. start ();
});

$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess', function(){
  ngProgressLite.done();
});

$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeError',  function(){
  ngProgressLite.done();
});

and fetch all needed dependencies in the resolve section of the states.

Good luck.

I'll go build my own JSONIP! Or tiny web service for user geo location

Maybe it will be the most tiny web service I have ever made but not less important than others.

Goals

I often create experimental webapps and need to know approximately the position of the user even if Geolocation.getCurrentPosition() doesn't work.

Ash

One British gentleman Richard Lord - game developer. I had first met him and had started to read his blog when I found his implementation of a particle system - it's called Flint and it has brilliant architecture. At first he used a lot of famous Patterns from the famous book of the band of four (Like Factory, Components, Strategy, State) and it was one of the best combinations of those patterns that I have ever seen.
