Extend Existing Service In Angular

I'm using angular growl service (angular-growl), and i need one method to add growl with specific type, e.g. .controller('Controller', ['$scope', 'growl', function ($scope, growl)

Solution 1:

Basically you can use the concept of Angular decorator to extend the existing service. This is done through $provide.decorator. An implementation would look something like this:

app.config(function($provide) {
  $provide.decorator('growl', function($delegate) {
    $delegate.add = function(message, type) {
      // implementation for add.
    };
    return$delegate;
  });
});
