How do I configure different environments in Angular.js?

by

How do you manage configuration variables/constants for different environments?

This could be an example:

My rest API is reachable on localhost:7080/myapi/, but my friend that works on the same code under Git version control has the API deployed on his Tomcat on localhost:8099/hisapi/.

Supposing that we have something like this : 

angular
    .module('app', ['ngResource'])

    .constant('API_END_POINT','<local_end_point>')

    .factory('User', function($resource, API_END_POINT) {
        return $resource(API_END_POINT + 'user');
    });

How do I dynamically inject the correct value of the API endpoint, depending on the environment?

In PHP I usually do this kind of stuff with a config.username.xml file, merging the basic configuration file (config.xml) with the local environment configuration file recognised by the name of the user. But I don’t know how to manage this kind of thing in JavaScript?
