What is meant by Bootstrapping in angular JS?
I am a beginner in Angular JS. I was going through the below link. http://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial/step_00
What are the bootstrap files? Where are they located?
What is automatic booting and manual initialization of bootstrapping? I read the disadvantage of manual initialization as below.. from the link http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/bootstrap
Can anyone explain exactly what is the disadvantage here?
Answer
Bootstrapping is the equivalent of initializing, or starting, your Angular app. There are 2 main ways to do so.
The first is automatically bootstrapping by adding ng-app to the an element in your HTML, like so:
<html ng-app="myApp">
...
</html>
The second would be to bootstrap from the JavaScript, like so, after having creating your app through angular.module("myApp", []);
angular.bootstrap(document, ['myApp']);
