AngularJS supports modular approach. Modules are used to represent services, controllers, applications, etc. in separate logic and keep the code clean. We define the module in a separate js file and name it as per module.js file. In this example, we are creating two modules.

Application Module - used to initialize the controller application
Controller Module - used to define controllers

Application Module

mainApp.js

var mainApp = angular.module("mainApp", []);

Here we have declared the mainApp module of the application using angular.module functionality. We've passed an empty array to it. This array usually contains dependent modules.
Controller Module

studentController.js

mainApp.controller("studentController", function($scope) {
  $scope.student = {
   firstName: "Mahesh",
   lastName: "Parashar",
   fees:500,
   subjects:[
     {name:'Physics',marks:70},
     {name:'Chemistry',marks:80},
     {name:'Math',marks:65},
     {name:'English',marks:75},
     {name:'Hindi',marks:67}
   ],
   fullName: function() {
     var studentObject;
     studentObject = $scope.student;
     return studentObject.firstName + " " + studentObject.lastName;
   }
  };
});

Here, we have declared a controller that adopts the mainApp.controller function of the studentController module.
Use modules

<div ng-app="mainApp" ng-controller="studentController">
..
<script src="mainApp.js"></script>
<script src="studentController.js"></script>

Copy after login

Here we are using ng-app directive and controller application module using ng-controller directive. We have imported mainApp.js and studentController.js in the main HTML page.
Example

The following example will demonstrate all the above modules.

mainApp.js

var mainApp = angular.module("mainApp", []);

studentController.js

mainApp.controller("studentController", function($scope) {
