angularjs - Passing arguments to factory -

i building app using angularjs.

i have function (createstarmarkup) returns bunch of html based on number.

function(rating) {   var rating = number(rating);    var markup = "";    //do stuff    return markup; } 

i able use function multiple places in application, defined service in utility module.

var app = angular.module('utilities', []);  app.factory('createstarmarkup', function(rating) {   var rating = number(rating);    var markup = "";    // stuff    return markup; }); 

i add 'utilities' module dependency 1 of other modules, , inject service controller.

var app = angular.module('reviews', ['ionic', 'utilities']);  app.controller('reviewcontroller',   ['$scope', '$ionicactionsheet', 'createstarmarkup', function($scope, $ionicactionsheet, createstarmarkup){...}); 

this produces following error

error: [$injector:unpr] unknown provider: $ratingprovider <- $rating <- createstarmarkup 

the error goes away if remove rating parameter in createstarmarkup function. on right track using factory or should else?

your factory definition not valid. please change follows

app.factory('createstartupservices', ['',  function() {     return {       getmarkup: function(rating) {         var rating = number(rating);          var markup = "";           // stuff            return markup;       },     }   } ]); 

and controller, need method getmarkup follows

var app = angular.module('reviews', ['ionic', 'utilities']);  app.controller('reviewcontroller',['$scope', '$ionicactionsheet', 'createstartupservices', function($scope, $ionicactionsheet, createstartupservices){     //createstartupservices.getmarkup(123); });
