+     * ## Transforming Requests and Responses
+     *
+     * Both requests and responses can be transformed using transformation functions: `transformRequest`
+     * and `transformResponse`. These properties can be a single function that returns
+     * the transformed value (`{function(data, headersGetter)`) or an array of such transformation functions,
+     * which allows you to `push` or `unshift` a new transformation function into the transformation chain.
+     *
+     * ### Default Transformations
+     *
+     * The `$httpProvider` provider and `$http` service expose `defaults.transformRequest` and
+     * `defaults.transformResponse` properties. If a request does not provide its own transformations
+     * then these will be applied.
+     *
+     * You can augment or replace the default transformations by modifying these properties by adding to or
+     * replacing the array.
      *
-     * Both requests and responses can be transformed using transform functions. By default, Angular
-     * applies these transformations:
+     * Angular provides the following default transformations:
      *
-     * Request transformations:
+     * Request transformations (`$httpProvider.defaults.transformRequest` and `$http.defaults.transformRequest`):
      *
      * - If the `data` property of the request configuration object contains an object, serialize it
      *   into JSON format.
      *
-     * Response transformations:
+     * Response transformations (`$httpProvider.defaults.transformResponse` and `$http.defaults.transformResponse`):
      *
      *  - If XSRF prefix is detected, strip it (see Security Considerations section below).
      *  - If JSON response is detected, deserialize it using a JSON parser.
      *
-     * To globally augment or override the default transforms, modify the
-     * `$httpProvider.defaults.transformRequest` and `$httpProvider.defaults.transformResponse`
-     * properties. These properties are by default an array of transform functions, which allows you
-     * to `push` or `unshift` a new transformation function into the transformation chain. You can
-     * also decide to completely override any default transformations by assigning your
-     * transformation functions to these properties directly without the array wrapper.  These defaults
-     * are again available on the $http factory at run-time, which may be useful if you have run-time
-     * services you wish to be involved in your transformations.
      *
-     * Similarly, to locally override the request/response transforms, augment the
-     * `transformRequest` and/or `transformResponse` properties of the configuration object passed
+     * ### Overriding the Default Transformations Per Request
+     *
+     * If you wish override the request/response transformations only for a single request then provide
+     * `transformRequest` and/or `transformResponse` properties on the configuration object passed
      * into `$http`.
      *
+     * Note that if you provide these properties on the config object the default transformations will be
+     * overwritten. If you wish to augment the default transformations then you must include them in your
+     * local transformation array.
+     *
+     * The following code demonstrates adding a new response transformation to be run after the default response
+     * transformations have been run.
+     *
+     * ```js
+     * function appendTransform(defaults, transform) {
+     *
+     *   // We can't guarantee that the default transformation is an array
+     *   defaults = angular.isArray(defaults) ? defaults : [defaults];
+     *
+     *   // Append the new transformation to the defaults
+     *   return defaults.concat(transform);
+     * }

-     *
-     * For purposes of global error handling, authentication or any kind of synchronous or

+     * when otherwise untrusted data is used by a directive.

+     *        escaped the interpolation start/end markers with REVERSE SOLIDUS U+005C (backslash)
+     *        characters.</p>
+     *      <p>Instead, the result of the attempted script injection is visible, and can be removed

-   * @description
-   *
-   * **This feature is deprecated, see deprecation notes below for more info**
-   *
-   * If set to true (default is false), $parse will unwrap promises automatically when a promise is
-   * found at any part of the expression. In other words, if set to true, the expression will always
-   * result in a non-promise value.
-   *
-   * While the promise is unresolved, it's treated as undefined, but once resolved and fulfilled,
-   * the fulfillment value is used in place of the promise while evaluating the expression.
-   *
-   * **Deprecation notice**
-   *
-   * This is a feature that didn't prove to be wildly useful or popular, primarily because of the
-   * dichotomy between data access in templates (accessed as raw values) and controller code
-   * (accessed as promises).
-   *
-   * In most code we ended up resolving promises manually in controllers anyway and thus unifying
-   * the model access there.
-   *
-   * Other downsides of automatic promise unwrapping:
-   *
-   * - when building components it's often desirable to receive the raw promises
-   * - adds complexity and slows down expression evaluation
-   * - makes expression code pre-generation unattractive due to the amount of code that needs to be
-   *   generated
-   * - makes IDE auto-completion and tool support hard
-   *
-   * **Warning Logs**
-   *
-   * If the unwrapping is enabled, Angular will log a warning about each expression that unwraps a
-   * promise (to reduce the noise, each expression is logged only once). To disable this logging use
-   * `$parseProvider.logPromiseWarnings(false)` api.
-   *
-   *
-   * @param {boolean=} value New value.
-   * @returns {boolean|self} Returns the current setting when used as getter and self if used as
-   *                         setter.

  * A promise/deferred implementation inspired by [Kris Kowal's Q](https://github.com/kriskowal/q).
  *
+ * $q can be used in two fashions --- one which is more similar to Kris Kowal's Q or jQuery's Deferred
+ * implementations, and the other which resembles ES6 promises to some degree.
+ *
+ * # $q constructor
+ *
+ * The streamlined ES6 style promise is essentially just using $q as a constructor which takes a `resolver`
+ * function as the first argument. This is similar to the native Promise implementation from ES6 Harmony,
+ * see [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise).
+ *
+ * While the constructor-style use is supported, not all of the supporting methods from ES6 Harmony promises are
+ * available yet.
+ *
+ * It can be used like so:
+ *
+ * ```js
+ * return $q(function(resolve, reject) {
+ *   // perform some asynchronous operation, resolve or reject the promise when appropriate.
+ *   setInterval(function() {
+ *     if (pollStatus > 0) {
+ *       resolve(polledValue);
+ *     } else if (pollStatus < 0) {
+ *       reject(polledValue);
+ *     } else {
+ *       pollStatus = pollAgain(function(value) {
+ *         polledValue = value;
+ *       });
+ *     }
+ *   }, 10000);
+ * }).
+ *   then(function(value) {
+ *     // handle success
+ *   }, function(reason) {
+ *     // handle failure
+ *   });
+ * ```
+ *
+ * Note: progress/notify callbacks are not currently supported via the ES6-style interface.
+ *
+ * However, the more traditional CommonJS-style usage is still available, and documented below.
+ *
  * [The CommonJS Promise proposal](http://wiki.commonjs.org/wiki/Promises) describes a promise as an
  * interface for interacting with an object that represents the result of an action that is
  * performed asynchronously, and may or may not be finished at any given point in time.

+ * ## Binding to a getter/setter
+ *
+ * Sometimes it's helpful to bind `ngModel` to a getter/setter function.  A getter/setter is a
+ * function that returns a representation of the model when called with zero arguments, and sets
+ * the internal state of a model when called with an argument. It's sometimes useful to use this
+ * for models that have an internal representation that's different than what the model exposes
+ * to the view.
+ *
+ * <div class="alert alert-success">
+ * **Best Practice:** It's best to keep getters fast because Angular is likely to call them more
+ * frequently than other parts of your code.
+ * </div>
+ *
+ * You use this behavior by adding `ng-model-options="{ getterSetter: true }"` to an element that
+ * has `ng-model` attached to it. You can also add `ng-model-options="{ getterSetter: true }"` to
+ * a `<form>`, which will enable this behavior for all `<input>`s within it. See
+ * {@link ng.directive:ngModelOptions `ngModelOptions`} for more.
+ *
+ * The following example shows how to use `ngModel` with a getter/setter:
+ *
+ * @example
+ * <example name="ngModel-getter-setter" module="getterSetterExample">

 /**
  * @ngdoc directive
+ * @name ngModelOptions
+ *
+ * @description
+ * Allows tuning how model updates are done. Using `ngModelOptions` you can specify a custom list of
+ * events that will trigger a model update and/or a debouncing delay so that the actual update only
+ * takes place when a timer expires; this timer will be reset after another change takes place.
+ *
+ * Given the nature of `ngModelOptions`, the value displayed inside input fields in the view might
+ * be different than the value in the actual model. This means that if you update the model you
+ * should also invoke {@link ngModel.NgModelController `$rollbackViewValue`} on the relevant input field in
+ * order to make sure it is synchronized with the model and that any debounced action is canceled.
+ *
+ * The easiest way to reference the control's {@link ngModel.NgModelController `$rollbackViewValue`}
+ * method is by making sure the input is placed inside a form that has a `name` attribute. This is
+ * important because `form` controllers are published to the related scope under the name in their
+ * `name` attribute.
+ *
+ * Any pending changes will take place immediately when an enclosing form is submitted via the
+ * `submit` event. Note that `ngClick` events will occur before the model is updated. Use `ngSubmit`
+ * to have access to the updated model.
+ *
+ * @param {Object} ngModelOptions options to apply to the current model. Valid keys are:
+ *   - `updateOn`: string specifying which event should be the input bound to. You can set several
+ *     events using an space delimited list. There is a special event called `default` that
+ *     matches the default events belonging of the control.
+ *   - `debounce`: integer value which contains the debounce model update value in milliseconds. A
+ *     value of 0 triggers an immediate update. If an object is supplied instead, you can specify a
+ *     custom value for each event. For example:
+ *     `ng-model-options="{ updateOn: 'default blur', debounce: {'default': 500, 'blur': 0} }"`
+ *   - `allowInvalid`: boolean value which indicates that the model can be set with values that did
+ *     not validate correctly instead of the default behavior of setting the model to undefined.
+ *   - `getterSetter`: boolean value which determines whether or not to treat functions bound to
+       `ngModel` as getters/setters.
+ *   - `timezone`: Defines the timezone to be used to read/write the `Date` instance in the model for
+ *     `<input type="date">`, `<input type="time">`, ... . Right now, the only supported value is `'UTC'`,
+ *     otherwise the default timezone of the browser will be used.
+ *
+ * @example
+
+  The following example shows how to override immediate updates. Changes on the inputs within the
+  form will update the model only when the control loses focus (blur event). If `escape` key is
+  pressed while the input field is focused, the value is reset to the value in the current model.
