I'm trying to use Angular with my Codeigniter project. The problem is that it doesn't load the proper template file through angular router.
In the root instead of showing templateUrl: 'index.php/welcome/home', it loads the index.php/welcome. It loads the index page inside the controller instead of the ones I have specified.
Below is my code:
JS
var app = angular.module('MyCtrl', ['ngRoute', "ui.bootstrap.modal"]);
app.config(function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'index.php/welcome/home',
controller: 'mainController'
})
.when('/user', {
templateUrl: 'index.php/user/account',
controller: 'userController'
})
});
app.controller('mainController', function($scope) {
$scope.message = 'main con';
});
app.controller('userController', function($scope) {
$scope.message = 'user con!';
});
Welcome controller in Codeigniter:
public function home(){
$this->load->view('home');
}
Can someone tell me why this is not working and what I have done wrong?
I've my backend developed in Silex with various routes that I can fully access using localhost:8080/project/api/index.php/user (example of a route).
if i'm coding an http get(I use only one controller called mainController ) in a js file using angular 1.5.8, how can I make that when I enter angularsite/user
(user is the route, "/user"), it returns me the data and then show it on my index.html ?
You need to set your app routes to your mainController controller.
angular.module('YourProject', [
'YourModule',
'ngRoute'
])
.config(['$routeProvider', function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/user', {
templateUrl: 'view.html',
controllerAs: 'mainCtrl',
controller: 'mainController '
});
$routeProvider.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/user'
});
}])
Now when the page loads the RouteProvider will finds the default path to user (default route) route and that will load your view and controller. The templateUrl contains the route to the template.
If you only want to load a partial page you can do something like this..
'use strict';
var App = angular.module('YourProject', ['ngRoute', 'AppControllers']);
App.config(['$routeProvider', function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.
when('/user', {
templateUrl: 'user.html'
}).
otherwise({
redirectTo: '/path'
});
}]);
Since your question mentions an API if you are trying to just load some data you can call user API with something like this from your controller (provided that the url given is an API which accepts GET request and responds with JSON data)..
var AppControllers = angular.module('AppControllers', []);
AppControllers.controller('MainController', ['$scope','$http', function ($scope, $http) {
//Declare a function to fetch user data from API
$scope.user= function () {
var req = {
method: 'GET',
url: baseURL + 'project/api/index.php/user'
}
return $http(req).success(function (data,status,header) {
$scope.user = data;
}).error(function () {
console.log(error);
});
}
//Call the get user function
$scope.user();
}]);
And finally in your partial file (user.html) add the controller to bind it with the controller declared above.
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="YourProject">
<body>
<head>
<title>User Page</title>
</head>
<div class="user-content" ng-controller="MainController">
</body>
</html>
I am using controller in my Angularjs which gets question one by one from server and i want on specific condition this controller should call a routeprovider that should change my current view with templateUrl and put into a directive
my question is can i call route provider in controller rather than module
here is my CreateController
var CreateController = ['$scope', '$http', function ($scope, $http) {
$scope.model = {
};
................>
.................>
$scope.NextQuestion = function () {
$http.post('/Testing/NextQuestion', {
........................>
}).success(function (newdata) {
$scope.model = newdata;
var inccomplevel = $scope.model.servercomplevel;
if (qId == 10) {
here i need the code for routeProvider and directive please provide me help
}
......................>
}];
i did the route provider in app.js file there it works
here is the code for app.js when i do like this it works and when i shift the code of route provider
to the create controller in condition if qId == 10 there it does not work
var app = angular.module('app', ['ngRoute']);
app.controller('CreateController', CreateController);
app.config(function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/',
{
templateUrl: 'Partials/TestCompleted.html',
controller: 'AppCtrl'
})
.otherwise({ redirectTo: '/' });
});
app.controller("AppCtrl",function ($scope) {
$scope.newmodel = {
}
});
Instead of trying to change the value of the templateUrl on the route, you should define another route. Then you can simply switch routes.
To change the route/view, you need update the path. You can do this using the $location service.
See AngularJS : How do I switch views from a controller function?
I'm trying to trigger angularJS routing inside of a function in controller, but it throws back "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'path' of undefined". Can't really see where I missed $location injection, guess it's the reason.
var gameApp = angular.module('gameApp', ['ngRoute']);
gameApp.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider, $provide) {
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
$routeProvider
// route for the home page
.when('/', {
templateUrl : 'home.html',
controller : 'mainController'
})
// route for the game page
.when('/game', {
templateUrl : 'game.html',
controller : 'gameController'
})
// route for the game over page
.when('/game-over', {
templateUrl : 'game-over.html',
controller : 'mainController'
})
// default
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
});
And part of my game controller when I'm using router
gameApp.controller('gameController', ['$scope', '$location', function($scope, $location){
function gameLost($location){
var check = false;
console.log ('You lose! Your score is ')
$location.path('/game-over');
}])
Look at this code:
function gameLost($location) {
var check = false;
console.log ('You lose! Your score is ')
$location.path('/game-over');
}
Unless you invoke this function like this gameLost($location) (which I doubt) $location is going to end up as undefined in local function scope, overwriting $location service from parent closure scope.
So I think all you need to do is to remove $location paremeter from gameLost function definition:
function gameLost() {
var check = false;
$location.path('/game-over');
}
I currently have an AngularJS application with routing built in.
It works and everything is ok.
My app.js file looks like this:
angular.module('myapp', ['myapp.filters', 'myapp.services', 'myapp.directives']).
config(['$routeProvider', function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/', { templateUrl: '/pages/home.html', controller: HomeController });
$routeProvider.when('/about', { templateUrl: '/pages/about.html', controller: AboutController });
$routeProvider.when('/privacy', { templateUrl: '/pages/privacy.html', controller: AboutController });
$routeProvider.when('/terms', { templateUrl: '/pages/terms.html', controller: AboutController });
$routeProvider.otherwise({ redirectTo: '/' });
}]);
My app has a CMS built in where you can copy and add new html files within the /pages directory.
I would like to still go through the routing provider though even for the new dynamically added files.
In an ideal world the routing pattern would be:
$routeProvider.when('/pagename', { templateUrl: '/pages/pagename.html', controller: CMSController });
So if my new page name was "contact.html" I would like angular to pick up "/contact" and redirect to "/pages/contact.html".
Is this even possible?! and if so how?!
Update
I now have this in my routing config:
$routeProvider.when('/page/:name', { templateUrl: '/pages/home.html', controller: CMSController })
and in my CMSController:
function CMSController($scope, $route, $routeParams) {
$route.current.templateUrl = '/pages/' + $routeParams.name + ".html";
alert($route.current.templateUrl);
}
CMSController.$inject = ['$scope', '$route', '$routeParams'];
This sets the current templateUrl to the right value.
However I would now like to change the ng-view with the new templateUrl value. How is this accomplished?
angular.module('myapp', ['myapp.filters', 'myapp.services', 'myapp.directives']).
config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/page/:name*', {
templateUrl: function(urlattr){
return '/pages/' + urlattr.name + '.html';
},
controller: 'CMSController'
});
}
]);
Adding * let you work with multiple levels of directories dynamically.
Example: /page/cars/selling/list will be catch on this provider
From the docs (1.3.0):
"If templateUrl is a function, it will be called with the following
parameters:
{Array.} - route parameters extracted from the current
$location.path() by applying the current route"
Also
when(path, route) : Method
path can contain named groups starting with a colon and ending with a star: e.g.:name*. All characters are eagerly stored in $routeParams under the given name when the route matches.
Ok solved it.
Added the solution to GitHub - http://gregorypratt.github.com/AngularDynamicRouting
In my app.js routing config:
$routeProvider.when('/pages/:name', {
templateUrl: '/pages/home.html',
controller: CMSController
});
Then in my CMS controller:
function CMSController($scope, $route, $routeParams) {
$route.current.templateUrl = '/pages/' + $routeParams.name + ".html";
$.get($route.current.templateUrl, function (data) {
$scope.$apply(function () {
$('#views').html($compile(data)($scope));
});
});
...
}
CMSController.$inject = ['$scope', '$route', '$routeParams'];
With #views being my <div id="views" ng-view></div>
So now it works with standard routing and dynamic routing.
To test it I copied about.html called it portfolio.html, changed some of it's contents and entered /#/pages/portfolio into my browser and hey presto portfolio.html was displayed....
Updated
Added $apply and $compile to the html so that dynamic content can be injected.
I think the easiest way to do such thing is to resolve the routes later, you could ask the routes via json, for example. Check out that I make a factory out of the $routeProvider during config phase, via $provide, so I can keep using the $routeProvider object in the run phase, and even in controllers.
'use strict';
angular.module('myapp', []).config(function($provide, $routeProvider) {
$provide.factory('$routeProvider', function () {
return $routeProvider;
});
}).run(function($routeProvider, $http) {
$routeProvider.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
controller: 'MainCtrl'
}).otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
$http.get('/dynamic-routes.json').success(function(data) {
$routeProvider.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
controller: 'MainCtrl'
});
// you might need to call $route.reload() if the route changed
$route.reload();
});
});
In the $routeProvider URI patters, you can specify variable parameters, like so: $routeProvider.when('/page/:pageNumber' ... , and access it in your controller via $routeParams.
There is a good example at the end of the $route page: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$route
EDIT (for the edited question):
The routing system is unfortunately very limited - there is a lot of discussion on this topic, and some solutions have been proposed, namely via creating multiple named views, etc.. But right now, the ngView directive serves only ONE view per route, on a one-to-one basis. You can go about this in multiple ways - the simpler one would be to use the view's template as a loader, with a <ng-include src="myTemplateUrl"></ng-include> tag in it ($scope.myTemplateUrl would be created in the controller).
I use a more complex (but cleaner, for larger and more complicated problems) solution, basically skipping the $route service altogether, that is detailed here:
http://www.bennadel.com/blog/2420-Mapping-AngularJS-Routes-Onto-URL-Parameters-And-Client-Side-Events.htm
Not sure why this works but dynamic (or wildcard if you prefer) routes are possible in angular 1.2.0-rc.2...
http://code.angularjs.org/1.2.0-rc.2/angular.min.js
http://code.angularjs.org/1.2.0-rc.2/angular-route.min.js
angular.module('yadda', [
'ngRoute'
]).
config(function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider.
when('/:a', {
template: '<div ng-include="templateUrl">Loading...</div>',
controller: 'DynamicController'
}).
controller('DynamicController', function ($scope, $routeParams) {
console.log($routeParams);
$scope.templateUrl = 'partials/' + $routeParams.a;
}).
example.com/foo -> loads "foo" partial
example.com/bar-> loads "bar" partial
No need for any adjustments in the ng-view. The '/:a' case is the only variable I have found that will acheive this.. '/:foo' does not work unless your partials are all foo1, foo2, etc... '/:a' works with any partial name.
All values fire the dynamic controller - so there is no "otherwise" but, I think it is what you're looking for in a dynamic or wildcard routing scenario..
As of AngularJS 1.1.3, you can now do exactly what you want using the new catch-all parameter.
https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/7eafbb98c64c0dc079d7d3ec589f1270b7f6fea5
From the commit:
This allows routeProvider to accept parameters that matches
substrings even when they contain slashes if they are prefixed
with an asterisk instead of a colon.
For example, routes like edit/color/:color/largecode/*largecode
will match with something like this
http://appdomain.com/edit/color/brown/largecode/code/with/slashs.
I have tested it out myself (using 1.1.5) and it works great. Just keep in mind that each new URL will reload your controller, so to keep any kind of state, you may need to use a custom service.
Here is another solution that works good.
(function() {
'use strict';
angular.module('cms').config(route);
route.$inject = ['$routeProvider'];
function route($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/:section', {
templateUrl: buildPath
})
.when('/:section/:page', {
templateUrl: buildPath
})
.when('/:section/:page/:task', {
templateUrl: buildPath
});
}
function buildPath(path) {
var layout = 'layout';
angular.forEach(path, function(value) {
value = value.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + value.substring(1);
layout += value;
});
layout += '.tpl';
return 'client/app/layouts/' + layout;
}
})();
