What is difference between provider and factory? I know the difference between factory and service. But could you tell me in simple language what is difference between in provider and factory? I make a demo in which I use both but work fine but what is difference mean when I use provider and when I use factory ? here is my code http://codepen.io/anon/pen/NqWRNw
var app =angular.module('ionicApp',['ionic']);
app.factory('fac',function(){
  var name;
  return {
    getname :function(){
      return  this.name;
    },
    setName:function(name){
      console.log(name)
      this.name=name;
         console.log( this.name)
    }
  }
});
app.controller('cntr',function($scope,fac,pro){
  fac.setName('test');
  console.log(fac.getname()+"--");
  console.log("pro============")
  pro.setName('protest');
  console.log(pro.getname()+"--");
})
app.provider('pro',function(){
  var name;
  return {
    $get :function(){
      return {
        getname:function(){
           return  this.name; 
        },
        setName:function(name){
             this.name=name; 
        }
      }
    }
    }
});
