How does Angular handle dependency resolution with multiple providers?

Mid Angular
Quick Answer Angular injector tree: when multiple providers for the same token exist at different levels (root, module, component), the injector closest to the consumer wins. The injector walks up the tree until it finds a provider. Use InjectionToken for non-class dependencies. forwardRef() resolves circular dependencies at decoration time. Multi providers (multi: true) merge multiple values for the same token into an array.

Answer

Angular uses hierarchical injectors.
If the same token exists in multiple injectors, the nearest injector to the component wins.
