## What it is
ng-annotate is a JavaScript tool that adds, removes, and rebuilds AngularJS dependency injection annotations, usable both as a CLI and a library. It uses static analysis to detect AngularJS patterns so code can be safely minified.

## Use cases
- add angularjs dependency injection annotations before minification
- remove di annotations from an existing codebase
- rebuild annotations after refactoring controller parameters
- annotate angularjs code using ngInject prologue directives
- prepare angularjs source for uglify or other minifiers

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy AngularJS 1.x codebase that needs DI annotations for safe minification
- you need to strip or rebuild checked-in annotations during refactoring

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project (AngularJS is end-of-life)
- you use modern Angular (2+), which does not need this tool
- you want an actively maintained tool - use babel-plugin-angularjs-annotate instead
