Downgrade Angular 2 providers to Angular 1 services with downgradeInjectable

Begin with the code written in Connecting Angular 1 and Angular 2 with UpgradeModule.

First, define the service you would like to inject into an Angular 1 component:

[app/article.service.ts] 
 
import {Injectable} from '@angular/core'; 
 
@Injectable() 
export class ArticleService { 
  article:Object = { 
    title: 'Research Shows Moon Not Actually Made of Cheese', 
    author: 'Jake Hsu' 
  }; 
} 

Next, define the Angular 1 component that should inject it:

[app/article.component.ts] 
 
export const ng1Article = { 
  template: ` 
    <h1>{{article.title}}</h1> 
    <p>{{article.author}}</p> 
  `, 
  controller: (ArticleService, $scope) => { 
    $scope.article = ArticleService.article; 
  } 
}; 

ArticleService won't be injected yet though, since Angular 1 has no idea that this service exists. Doing this is very simple, however. First, you'll list the service provider in the Angular 2 module definition as you normally would:

[app/ng2.module.ts] 
 
import {NgModule} from '@angular/core'; 
import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser'; 
import {UpgradeModule} from '@angular/upgrade/static'; 
import {RootComponent} from './root.component'; 
import {ArticleService} from './article.service'; 
 
@NgModule({ 
  imports: [ 
    BrowserModule, 
    UpgradeModule, 
  ], 
  declarations: [ 
    RootComponent 
  ], 
  providers: [ 
    ArticleService 
  ], 
  bootstrap: [ 
    RootComponent 
  ] 
}) 
export class Ng2AppModule { 
  constructor(public upgrade: UpgradeModule){} 
} 

Still, Angular 1 does not understand how to use the service.

In the same way you convert an Angular 2 component definition into an Angular 1 directive, convert an Angular 2 service into an Angular 1 factory. Use downgradeInjectable and add the Angular 1 component and the converted service to the Angular 1 module definition:

[app/ng1.module.ts] 
 
import 'angular'; 
import {ng1Article} from './article.component'; 
import {ArticleService} from './article.service'; 
import {downgradeInjectable} from '@angular/upgrade/static'; 
 
export const Ng1AppModule = angular.module('Ng1AppModule', []) 
  .component('ng1Article', ng1Article) 
  .factory('ArticleService', downgradeInjectable(ArticleService)); 

That's all! You should be able to see the Angular 1 component render with the data passed from the Angular 2 service.
