@@ -14,9 +14,6 @@ The `angular.module.ng` method accepts three parameters:
- `$inject` - {Array.<string>} - Array of service ids this service depends on. These services
will be passed as arguments into the factory function in the same order specified in the `$inject`
array. Defaults to `[]`.
- - `$eager` - {boolean} - If true, the service factory will be called and the service will be
-instantiated when angular boots. If false, the service will be lazily instantiated when it is first
-requested during instantiation of a dependant. Defaults to `false`.
The `this` of the factory function is bound to the root scope of the angular application.

`console.log` in batches.
* The `routeTemplateMonitor` service depends on the built-in {@link api/angular.module.ng.$route
$route} service as well as our custom `batchLog` service.
-* The `routeTemplateMonitor` service is declared to be eager, so that it is started as soon as the
-application starts.
-* To underline the need for the eager instantiation of the `routeTemplateMonitor` service, nothing
-else in the application depends on this service, and in this particular case the factory function
-of this service doesn't return anything at all.
* Both of our services use the factory function signature as well as the `$inject` property to
declare their dependencies. It is important that the order of the string identifiers in the array
associated with the `$inject` property is the same as the order of argument names in the signature

-While it is tempting to declare services as eager, only in few cases it is actually useful. If you
-are unsure whether to make a service eager, it likely doesn't need to be. To be more specific, a
-service should be declared as eager only if it fits one of these scenarios:
-
* Nothing in your application declares this service as its dependency, and this service affects the
state or configuration of the application (e.g. a service that configures `$route` or `$resource`
services)
