Using `$q.defer()` within angular's provider

Question

Is there a way to inject $q into provider, in my case, angular throws exception telling that there is no such provider.

Answer 1

For a provider, the values are injected in the $get function.

myApp.provider('testProvider', function() {
   this.$get = function($q) {

   };
});
