I'm writing a simple product information management app using angular js. To keep my app as modular as possible i've split it into multiple modules with one module "pim" as startpoint. For each module I want to have a different route, so that it is easy to plug in a new module or remove it without having to maintain a huge route in the pim module config.
Currently I have two routes (the first route):
(function(){
angular
.module("pim")
.config(router)
function router($routeProvider){
$routeProvider
.when("/",{
templateUrl: "view/info.html",
controller: "pimController"
})
.when("/info",{
templateUrl: "view/info.html",
controller: "pimController"
})
.when("/alcohol",{
templateUrl: "view/alcohol.list.html",
controller: "alcoholController"
});
}
})();
The second route
(function(){
angular
.module("alcohol")
.config(router)
function router($routeProvider){
$routeProvider
.when("/alcohol/list",{
templateUrl: "view/alcohol.list.html",
controller: "alcoholController"
})
.when("/alcohol/info",{
templateUrl: "view/alcohol.info.html",
controller: "alcoholController"
});
}
})();
As you can see /alcohol has a templateUrl and a controller, the same as /alcohol/list, but i want to know if there is a simple (standard) way to change to another URL for example /alcohol/list, so that I do not have to repeat the templateUrl and controller and keep this information in the alcohol module, where it belongs.
For example
.when("/alcohol",{
routeTo: "/alcohol/list"
})
Thank you for your help
SOLVED
The option to redirect exists, did not look in the $routeProvider documentation well enough:
.when("/alcohol",{
redirectTo:"/alcohol/list"
});
The code above works
You can use $routeProvider's redirectTo route map.
.when("/alcohol", {
redirectTo: "/alcohol/list"
});

I have a hard time understanding this. I'm attempting to put controllers in separate files so that they only deal with 1 thing, ideally, a partial view
My folder structure is like this...
My app.js file is like this.
angular.module('mikevarela', ['ui.router', 'mikevarela.controller.home', 'mikevarela.controller.about', 'mikevarela.controller.audio'])
.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/home');
$stateProvider
.state('home', {
url: '/home',
templateUrl: '../partials/home.partial.html',
controller: 'HomeController'
})
.state('about', {
url: '/about',
templateUrl: '../partials/about.partial.html',
controller: 'AboutController'
})
.state('audio', {
url: '/audio',
templateUrl: '../partials/audio.partial.html',
controller: 'AudioController'
});
});
and my controllers each have a module like this...
angular.module('mikevarela.controller.home', [])
.controller('HomeController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.title = 'Mike Varela Home Page';
}]);
My issues comes with the intial app declaration. I don't want to have to inject all the controllers in the main array app definition, that would be cumbersome and long winded. Isn't there a way to define the controller at the controller file. Kind of like this
angular.module('mikevarela', []).controller('HomeController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
// stuff here
}]);
Use angular.module('mikevarela').controller..... in subsequent files.
angular.module('mikevarela',[]).controller.....
is equivalent to redefining your app. The second param is requires array.
Quoting official angular.module docs
requires
(optional)
!Array.=
If specified then new module is being created. If unspecified then the module is being retrieved for further configuration.
About your Controllers...
I think you're loading the controllers incorrectly.
You don't need to declare controllers as a dependency. Rather stating module.controller('yourController)` makes that controller available throughout the module.
If your controllers are in separate files, all you need to do to make it available is load it in with a script tag. e.g.
<script src="app.js"></script>
<script src="controller1.js"></script>
<script src="controller2.js"></script>
About your Application Structure...
This is not related to your question, but just coming from someone who's developed using Angular, I'd recommend not grouping your application by controllers/ by rather by feature. See: https://scotch.io/tutorials/angularjs-best-practices-directory-structure
Question Background:
I am using AngulaJS's UI Router for the first time to create two views within my app.
The Issue:
Plunker link: https://plnkr.co/edit/2XAKa6mDCUyzyOPz2CNK
I feel I'm missing something simple here but I cannot get any route to render the specified html templates set in the app.js.
Eventually I want the Update.html template to render when the submit fucntion of the home.html (search()) is clicked but first off I need to be able to actually render a single view which I currently cannot.
I would expect on-load for the route to render up the home.html page but it wont:
Any help sorting this will be much appreciated.
app.js:
angular
.module('app', [
'ui.router'
])
.config(['$urlRouterProvider', '$stateProvider', function($urlRouterProvider, $stateProvider) {
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/home');
$stateProvider
.state('home', {
url: '/',
templateUrl: 'home.html',
controller: 'HomeController'
})
.state('update', {
url: '/update',
templateUrl: 'Update.html',
controller: 'UpdateController'
})
}])
Looking at your plunker briefly, it looks like your controller files are creating new angular apps with the same name. They were overriding each other so the .config() block didn't exist in the final app. I have updated the controller files in this plunker and it seems to be rendering the first ui view fine:
https://plnkr.co/edit/cdpWWOaBJWL3dONtIXzv?p=preview
Notice in the controller files, the angular.module('app') no longer has the second argument ['ui-bootstrap'] which was causing a new angular app to be created for each controller file. Check it out here in the angular docs.
Beware that using angular.module('myModule', []) will create the module myModule and overwrite any existing module named myModule. Use angular.module('myModule') to retrieve an existing module.
Hope this helps!
I am trying to integrate angular routing with and existing app.
The webapp uses angular already but does not use routing per se.
I was able to manually integrate routing and my routing js looks like following
phonecatApp.config(['$routeProvider',
function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.
when('/list1.jsp', {
templateUrl: '/mycontext/templates/list1.jsp',
}).
when('/list2.jsp', {
templateUrl: '/mycontext/templates/list2.jsp',
}).
otherwise({
});
}]);
After using routing for couple of files I found a common pattern, my #path was very similar to the path of the template. Thus I was wondering if there is any way to get the next url in the route itself so that I can dynamically create a fallback. For example
otherwise({
nextURL = $nxtURL;
redirectTo: '/mycontext/templates/'+nextURL;
});
I'm trying start developing angular apps with yeoman. It may sounds stupid, but I have a problem with creating routes using yo:angular route.
When I create new route using:
yo:angular route foo
yeoman creates:
app/scripts/controllers/foo.js (controller)
app/views/foo.html (view)
app/test/spec/controllers/foo.js (testing the controller)
in app.js it creates:
.config(function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
controller: 'MainCtrl'
})
.when('/foo', {
templateUrl: 'views/foo.html',
controller: 'FooCtrl'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
});
so everything should work fine. Unfortunately the route doesn't work - when I try open
http://localhost:9000/foo
I get following error:
Cannot GET /foo
The idea of routes in yeoman looks pretty easy and I'm not sure where the problem is.
Did you enable HTML5 mode in your Angular application? If not, the URL would be:
http://localhost:9000/#/foo
And if you have enabled HTML5 mode in your Angular application, you have to make sure whatever server you're using has been configured to handle all routes as they were the root of the application.
I know you guys are going to say "It's duplicated" but it doesn't work for me.
I'm doing exactly the same thing and here's what happens.
This is my config code:
portfolioApp.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/home', {
controller: 'portfolioController',
templateUrl: 'partials/home.htm'
})
.otherwise({redirectTo: '/home'});
if(window.history && window.history.pushState){
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
}
});
The URL without the locationProvider and setting path to "/" instead of "/home" would be:
http://localhost:8080/portfolio/#/
Okey, i would like to remove the hashtag and the "portfolio" path so that way it would be:
http://localhost:8080/home
With the config i've posted, it does it (the first time i refresh). But what happens? happens that if I refresh the page again with the new path... i get a 404 Tomcat Error.
In the first refresh when i write localhost:8080/portfolio and the path gets converted into "/home", I get in the console an error saying that the "partials/home.htm" can't be found 404.
So either way, it can't read my partial, and then when I refresh everything is broken.
How can I solve this? what am I doing wrong?
Make sure your including these to scripts in the header of your HTML document Where you are implementing your module. The two provided below are for implementing the most current version of angular as well as the most current version of the angular route script:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.3/angular.js"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.3/angular-route.js"></script>
Make sure your injecting ngRoute into your module, here's an example of mine:
angular.module('controller', ['ngRoute','ngResource', 'ngCookies', 'ngSanitize'])
Here is an example of my config block, make sure you inject both routeProvider and locationProvider:
.config(['$routeProvider', '$locationProvider', function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider){
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: '../partials/member.php',
controller: 'Member',
access: 'member'
})
.when('/leaderboard', {
templateUrl: '../partials/leaderboard.html',
controller: 'Leaderboard',
access: 'member'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
}])
If your doing all of this and it still doesn't work post a plunker of your code. Thanks.
