How to setup maintenance page when my application runing in production and value should be in Boolean so that we switch modes from maintenance to normal and vice versa in angular js
Using route concept
We did it this way:
I created a normal HTML page and changed my gruntfile, that this file will not be minified.
After that, we did the configurations for showing this Error or Maintanance sites via Load Balancer.
A other possible solution for that, is to create a interceptor like shown here
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http#interceptors
At this interceptor you could call the Maintanance Page if a specific statuscode is sent by the server. If you create a http interceptor, each request to the backend will go through it.

I'm thinking how to implement a SPA on Zend framework 2 using Reactjs? Haven't seen any tutorial that might help me. So, I was asking if this is possible. How would zf2 will handle the routes?
The routes are handled on the client side (by pushing URLs into browser's history so you can also use browser's back button for navigation)
Simply put, changing a route will not load a whole page from the server.
The server does not even know that your JS app is changing the URL in the browser (imagine you write by hand http://example.com#test while you were already on example.com; that #test thing is a fragment URL and it will never be sent to a server)
Instead, the JS application will respond to (once again, client-side) route changes by rendering a different page or section, and making some ajax calls to the server to fetch or update data.
Now let's see what the server should do:
send the first page (the "single-page") and the assets (CSS, JS) on
the first load
respond to app-originated AJAX API calls once the page is loaded and
the JS app has been started
That's why they call them "single page apps", because they do much of the logic and the presentation in the browser (DOM rendering, routes), and the server merely acts as a data layer, or a backend if you like this word better.
I am working at a SPA using Flask(with jinja) and AngularJS. Everything works fine, but when the application is in a given state and I try to refresh the page in browser, the server responds with 404 response: "error": "Not found". Is there a way to make this work in a proper way when trying to access a page of the SPA application through the URL?
This may depend on how your dev http server is setup:
It should be set to always load the default page which is index.html such that the angular engine will load and run and only then it will serve the other routes (states) like localhost/state, otherwise the angular router would not be able to resolve the url since it is not loaded (letting the http server handle the request, serving a 404 Page Not Found)
The http servers sometimes serve only one level deep url's like localhost/state, not localhost/state/param and you need to change some settings to make it work, but I think this is beyond the scope of your question :)
You can use a hasher in SPA. You need to parse hash string before initializing view model and based upon the value of hash set your current visible page and then bind the view mode.
You need to have a rule to always return your SPA index.html page for any routes that match your angular routes. I'm not sure what your web server is, apache or nginx or whatever but you should be able to find instructions on how to match those requests back to index.html.
You must have enabled html5 mode to true in in your angular js app. Set that to false will solve your problem.
I'am doing my first AngularJS project with ASP.NET Web API backend. What I am trying to do is, whenever a user visits www.mydomain.com, a login page (index.html) will displayed. After successfull login, he will be redirected to the dashboard.html (this is the shell page, partial views go here). My project structure is shown below-
I am confused about some issues:
Is this the best/common practices what i am trying to do in above?
As because dashboard.html is the main page, should i place app.js on dashboard.html?
If i put app.js on dashboard.html, will index.html (login page) have another app.js (i.e. loginApp.js)?
How should I manage the login state i.e. IsUserLoggedId, UserId etc in angular part?
This question may be silly. I googled, but did not find any example/article addressing such issue.
Would you please help?
Thank you in advance.
I am not sure how ASP.NET deals with it, but to my knowledge ASP.NET is just a server side framework whereas AngularJS is client side framework.
These two framework solve different problem, but has some overlapping features.
If you start using angularjs, then most of the time you will deal with the term "Single Page Application (SPA)".
There are different approaches in how you can handle the url redirection after login. I will just show you two example. There are many more how you can handle the user authentication and session.
First Approach:
In SPA, most of the time browser will change the url route and state directly in the page itself without making the entire page request from the server.
With that said, your dashboard.html will most likely be come a static template file which will be loaded from the browser directly. (i.e. the server does not dynamically parse the dashboard.html but only serve as a static file). Upon the user login, the angularjs will fire a asynchronous HTTP request into the ASP.NET authentication end point. A successful login may return a token to the browser, and the client will use it to manage the user session. At the same time, the Angular will have to change the route to /dashboard/. Notice that that the entire flow happens transparent to the user, it does not fire a full page HTTP request.
Second Approach:
Alternatively, if you choose to redirect from the server, you will have to send a HTTP Redirect 302. and since HTTP redirect will eventually call make a full HTTP request to /dashboard/, and it will then have to reload and bootstrap the angular app.js from the browser again. In this case, the user will have to wait for the dashboard page to be processed by the server upon login
Issues:
Is this the best/common practices what i am trying to do in above? there are many approaches, I think it is best to find the one that works for you. If you have a RESTful API, then you might want to have a look at the SPA approach in more detail.
As because dashboard.html is the main page, should i place app.js on dashboard.html? in SPA, you don't need to load app.js twice. but if you use the second approach, you have to reload the app.js again.
If i put app.js on dashboard.html, will index.html (login page) have another app.js (i.e. loginApp.js)? depends on your approach as stated above
How should I manage the login state i.e. IsUserLoggedId, UserId etc in angular part? Authentication Strategy, UNIX style authorization
There are more official guide that can help AngularJS Developer Guide.
Hope this helps you to integrate with the ASP.NET authentication mechanism.
you should have multiple shell pages. this link can help you...
refer to Multiple Shell Pages part.
I'm getting really frustrated with configuring the Routing on our app, which is using sailsJS and angularJS.
The problem is, that the browser doesn't know about angular, so any request like /login returns a 404 Error from sails. I need a solution, to keep the sails routes from the angular ones,
One solution would be to disable html5Mode, but i really don't like the look of URLs with the /#/ which is typical for angular.
I have researched a lot on this and haven't yet found a good answer or maybe a working project for this.
Is what I am trying to do even possible right now?
If you're using HTML5 mode with Angular, then you need to configure your web server (in this case SailsJS) to respond with your index.html file for requests to /login or any arbitrary routes.
If you navigate directly to http://localhost:3000/login in your web browser (assuming you're running Sails on localhost:3000), Sails needs to respond with your index.html so that your Angular app can bootstrap and then display the appropriate route. Then, subsequent links that the user clicks on in your app will be intercepted directly by the Angular router instead of Sails directly.
Angular has documentation about making HTML5 mode work correctly here.
Using this mode requires URL rewriting on server side, basically you have to rewrite all your links to entry point of your application (e.g. index.html). Requiring a <base> tag is also important for this case, as it allows Angular to differentiate between the part of the url that is the application base and the path that should be handeled by the application.
Is there a blog, project, gists or seed out there using angularjs and requirejs that provides authentication not based on routes? I'm working on building a site that will show the user the same rendered view, but different data fed from the server based upon their authentication. I have session handling already written into it, but I need angular to check the server for the session on the initial render for changing login buttons to logout and getting only the data the user wants to see that they've selected.
I attempted to use the angular run method to initially grab the session from the server, but when using requirejs, my app module doesn't exist at the time of calling the run method.
From my understanding, please correct me if I'm wrong, I should be creating an injector or using the $rootScope to carry the user information to routed controller and show the user what they is related to them. If so, then I need to have a service that is initially fired during the project instantiation to retrieve the user's session data. I'd prefer to not use the servers template rendering to put the users session data into javascript if possible.
