Difference between value providers and factory providers?

Mid Angular
Quick Answer Value provider: provide a static value for a token (useValue: myConfig). Factory provider: use a function to create the service (useFactory: () => new MyService(dep), deps: [Dep]) - enables conditional creation logic or passing constructor args. Class provider (useClass): use a different class than the token. Existing provider (useExisting): alias one token to another. Factories are for complex initialization logic.

Answer

Value providers supply literal constants.
Factory providers generate values dynamically using logic or dependencies.
