Inject a dependency into a angular factory and access the dependency

I have added with bower the angular-moment library.

I followed the how-to of the angular-moment author and added also both scripts to my index.html file and to the karma.conf.js file with the files option including certain files.

How can I access in my app/dateFactory the angular-moment object to do time stuff?

app/dateFactory

'use strict';

angular.module('clientApp', ['angularMoment']).factory('dateFactory', function () {


    function dateRange(startDate, endDate) {


    }

    // Public API here
    return {
        dateRange: dateRange
    }
});

UPDATE => running this code the factory instance is defined!

angular.module('clientApp').factory('dateFactory', function() {
    function dateRange(startDate, endDate) {
       var bla = moment.format()

        return [];
        //return Enumerable.range(0, endDate.Subtract(startDate).Days + 1).Select(offset => startDate.AddDays(offset)).toArray();
    }

    // Public API here
    return {
        dateRange: dateRange
    }
});

UPDATE => running this code the factory instance is undefined!

angular.module('clientApp', ['angularMoment']).factory('dateFactory', ['moment', function(moment) {
    function dateRange(startDate, endDate) {


        moment.format() //for example

        return [];
        //return Enumerable.range(0, endDate.Subtract(startDate).Days + 1).Select(offset => startDate.AddDays(offset)).toArray();
    }

    // Public API here
    return {
        dateRange: dateRange
    }
}]);

Thats the way the factory is created:

describe('Service: dateFactory', function () {

  // load the service's module
  beforeEach(module('clientApp'));

  // instantiate service
  var dateFactory;
  beforeEach(inject(function (_dateFactory_) {
    dateFactory = _dateFactory_;
  }));

  it('should do something', function () {

      var data = dateFactory.dateRange(new Date(2014,1,1), new Date(2014,1,15));

    expect(!!dateFactory).toBe(true);
  });

});

You can inject the 'moment' global into your factory.

'use strict';

angular.module('clientApp', ['angularMoment']).factory('dateFactory', ['moment', function(moment) {
    function dateRange(startDate, endDate) {
        moment.format() //for example

    }

    // Public API here
    return {
        dateRange: dateRange
    }
}]);
