define function for constants in angularjs

Question

I'm trying to define a function to hold the constant but is not working

(function(){
'use strict';

angular
    .module('app')
    .constant('config1', config1)
    .constant('config2', 
        (function(){
            return {
                VERSION: 2
            }
        }())
    );

function config1() {
    return {
        VERSION: '1'
    }
};

})();

console.log(config1.VERSION); // undefined

console.log(config2.VERSION); // 2

what problem are you trying to solve by trying to do this? It sounds like you need to create a provider which can be modified in config phase — charlietfl

for one, you haven't defined the variable config1, which you are passing to .CONSTANT() Did you mean to pass config2, or name the config2 function config1? — Neil S

config1, looks like you've referenced the func without () compared to config2 where you use () in which case it will execute... — Chris Moutray
