Cannot get to $rootScope
(3 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I am using angular 1.5.x
Below is my routing logic but I am not able to get a handle of the rootScope.
Please can you advise what could be wrong?
UPDATE: I have updated the routing logic as per the answer post below.
I am still not able to hit the controller.
(function() {
'use strict';
angular
.module('icebergApp')
.config(setupRouting);
setupRouting.$inject = ['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider', '$rootScope'];
function setupRouting($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider, $rootScope) {
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/iceberg-ui");
$stateProvider
.state('iceberg.reconlist', {
url: "/iceberg-ui",
templateUrl: "app/iceberg/reconlist/reconlist.view.html",
controller: 'ReconListController as vm'
})
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart',function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams){
console.log('$stateChangeStart to '+toState.name+'- fired when the transition begins. toState,toParams : \n',toState, toParams);
});
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeError',function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams, error){
console.log('$stateChangeError - fired when an error occurs during transition.');
console.log(arguments);
});
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess',function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams){
console.log('$stateChangeSuccess to '+toState.name+'- fired once the state transition is complete.');
});
$rootScope.$on('$viewContentLoading',function(event, viewConfig){
console.log('$viewContentLoading - view begins loading - dom not rendered',viewConfig);
});
$rootScope.$on('$stateNotFound',function(event, unfoundState, fromState, fromParams){
console.log('$stateNotFound '+unfoundState.to+' - fired when a state cannot be found by its name.');
console.log(unfoundState, fromState, fromParams);
});
}
}());
CONTROLLER
(function() {
'use strict';
var myApp = angular.module('iceberg.reconlist', ['ui.router']);
myApp.controller('ReconListController', ReconListController);
ReconListController.$inject = ['ReconListService'];
function ReconListController(ReconListService) {
var vm = this;
}
}());
MODULE
(function() {
'use strict';
angular.module('icebergApp', [
'ui.router',
'iceberg.reconlist'
]);
angular.module('iceberg.reconlist', [
]);
}());

$rootScope is not available in .config(). Only providers are available there. The thing you must do is splitting your code to put the $rootScope part into a .run method.
angular
.module('app')
.config(setupRouting);
setupRouting.$inject = ['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider'];
function setupRouting($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/iceberg-ui");
$stateProvider
.state('iceberg.reconlist', {
url: "/iceberg-ui",
templateUrl: "app/iceberg/reconlist/reconlist.view.html",
controller: 'ReconListController as vm'
})
}
}());
angular.module('app').run(setupRoutingEventListeners);
setupRouting.$inject = ['$rootScope'];
function setupRoutingEventListeners($rootScope) {
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart',function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams){
console.log('$stateChangeStart to '+toState.name+'- fired when the transition begins. toState,toParams : \n',toState, toParams);
});
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeError',function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams, error){
console.log('$stateChangeError - fired when an error occurs during transition.');
console.log(arguments);
});
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess',function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams){
console.log('$stateChangeSuccess to '+toState.name+'- fired once the state transition is complete.');
});
$rootScope.$on('$viewContentLoading',function(event, viewConfig){
console.log('$viewContentLoading - view begins loading - dom not rendered',viewConfig);
});
$rootScope.$on('$stateNotFound',function(event, unfoundState, fromState, fromParams){
console.log('$stateNotFound '+unfoundState.to+' - fired when a state cannot be found by its name.');
console.log(unfoundState, fromState, fromParams);
});
}
