OK, so I am an Angular.js newbie and I am working on creating some rudimentary routing. I have the following definition for my routing:
JBenchApp.config(['$routeProvider',
function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.
when('/dashboard', {
templateUrl: 'partials/dashboard.html',
controller: 'JBenchCtrl'
}).
when('/calendar', {
templateUrl: 'partials/calendar.html',
controller: 'JBenchCtrl'
}).
otherwise({
redirectTo: '/dashboard'
});
}]);
When I load the page http://localhost:53465/default.html what I get is
http://localhost:53465/default.html#/dashboard
How can I make this show up as
http://localhost:53465/dashboard
The routes that you have defined are the text that appear after the hashbang in the URL - hashbang because you do not seemed to have set HTML5 mode to true.
Thus, when you load the page http://localhost:53465/default.html, AngularJS will attempt to load the route http://localhost:53465/default.html/#!/ where the route is / - the text that appears after the hashbang(#!).
Look at your routes. There is no route handler for /. Thus, the otherwise() function is executed which simply redirects to the route /dashboard. Thus, the final URL is http://localhost:53465/default.html/#!/dashboard
If you want to load the URL as http://localhost:53465/dashboard then simply provide the above URL as it is. You don't have to specify default.html as the route handler takes care of loading the relevant HTML file (based on the templateUrl property of the route handler object)
Rename default.html to index.html then you'll be able to navigate to http://localhost:53465/#/dashboard.

So I am having an issue in setting up my angular routes.
Moving straight to the point, my angular routes defined don't hit my mvc controller and thus action methods.
The action method return partial views, which represent my templates.
Here is an image of my route configuration.
Here is an image of my controller actions.
I am sure I am missing something, but can't seem to figure out what.
This example helps you to understand better about $routeProvider and $locationProvider.
The only issue I see are relative links and templates not being properly loaded because of this.
from the docs regarding HTML5 mode
Be sure to check all relative links, images, scripts etc. You must either specify the url base in the head of your main html file () or you must use absolute urls (starting with /) everywhere because relative urls will be resolved to absolute urls using the initial absolute url of the document, which is often different from the root of the application.
In your case you can add a forward slash / in href attributes ($location.path does this automatically) and also to templateUrl when configuring routes. This avoids routes like example.com/tags/another and makes sure templates load properly.
Here's an example that works:
<div>
Home |
another |
tags/1
</div>
<div ng-view></div>
And
app.config(function($locationProvider, $routeProvider) {
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: '/partials/template1.html',
controller: 'ctrl1'
})
.when('/tags/:tagId', {
templateUrl: '/partials/template2.html',
controller: 'ctrl2'
})
.when('/another', {
templateUrl: '/partials/template1.html',
controller: 'ctrl1'
})
.otherwise({ redirectTo: '/' });
});
If using Chrome you will need to run this from a server.
Well what worked for me was to remove the setting for the $locationProvider.html5Mode. As someone mentioned in another stack overflow post, here MVC5 and Angular.js routing - URLs not matching using the locationProvider in MVC seems to screw up the routing. I am still to investigate why exactly this happens, as all I thought it did was remove the '#' in the url, but seems like there's more to it
I trying to make an application that contains multiple views as template. The templates are under the js/app/pages/ folder. And I have 2 templates to show and route. My routing section is:
var app = angular.module("myApp", ['ngRoute', 'ngMaterial']);
app.config(function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/Page', {
templateUrl: 'js/app/pages/Page.html',
controller: 'pageController',
reloadOnSearch: false
})
.when('/Settings', {
templateUrl: 'js/app/pages/Settings.html',
controller: 'settingsController',
reloadOnSearch: false
})
.when('/Admin', {
templateUrl: 'js/app/pages/Admin.html',
controller: 'adminController',
reloadOnSearch: false
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/Page'
});
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});
And my html file contains
<div id="menu"></div>
<div ng-view></div>
Menu div contains menu elements that route me between the pages. For example, when I run this site on browser, URL will be localhost/Page, and when I click the settings button URL change with localhost/Settings. But when I press the F5 button in my keyboard. Page gives me error The resource cannot be found..
I search on the internet "how to refresh routing page in angularjs" and find some solutions but I couldn't make them work for me. I tried $route.reload() and $routeUpdate() method but that does not work for me. Maybe I'm wrong in something.
If you are using Apache server this should work run this in terminal
sudo a2enmod rewrite && sudo service apache2 restart
works for me
Solved! I couldn't manage refresh with ngRoute. Then i convert it into ui-router. I declare the states by urls. And the refresh is working. Thanks for comments and answers. Maybe this will help someone.
Actually when you are pressing F5 from keyboard, it is hitting to your server for that page, not angular because you don't have any # sign between your URL. For angular, URL should be like as - localhost/#/Page
Use html5mode
A great article about it here
to init its very simple
.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
// other routes here
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});
When you "reload a page", you whole app will reinit again. That means if you are not on the main page, and the sub route you are at missing some data, you will likely get an error.
You should look into resolve attribute for routes, so for example,
.when('/Settings', {
templateUrl: 'js/app/pages/Settings.html',
controller: 'settingsController',
reloadOnSearch: false,
resolve: {
resourceone: function(){return whatsneeedtoberesolvehere;}
}
})
that way no matter where your app is reloaded, it will have the necessary data to boot the page
Just keep the # in URL, you don't have to put extra effort to manage reloads etc. you can think a "#" in URL represent a specific state in single page application.
Otherwise it can be managed by module rewriting, that map the url with hashed version URL internally for AngularJs app.
I'm using AngularJS for my front end web framework and was wondering how I can change the routing of my states so that when i go to my website, it would say (for example) abc.com rather than abc.com/home. I am using StateProvider to switch between views and this as default home url
state('home', {
url: '/home',
templateUrl: 'pages/home.html',
}).
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/home');
I have this in my index.html
<div ui-view></div>
I want to keep my home page content in a separate file from index.html, yet always not show that url so I would not see "/home" at all whenever I use the website. How can I do this?
state('home', {
url: '/',
templateUrl: 'pages/home.html',
})
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/');
You need to change the URL in the route definition to / instead of /home.
I have an angular application such that the routing might look like this:
angular.module('app').config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl : 'views/home.html',
controller: 'homeController'
})
.when('/foo', {
templateUrl : 'views/foo.html',
controller: 'fooController'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo : '/'
});
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});
Now, this may be an overly simple question, but can I serve a static page that is never going to change and needs no added javascript from me without specifying it with a .when route? For example, say I want to serve Googles Webmaster tools verification like so:
/googlee23dc3443279f430.html
Do I really need to create a .when('/googlee23dc3443279f430.html') route?
EDIT: We also did a server rewrite to make it so that non '/' routes would still serve up the index.html file, as specified in this wiki (and to get html5mode(true) working on page refreshes):
https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#how-to-configure-your-server-to-work-with-html5mode
Would be nice not to have to add rewriteconditions each time we want to add a static page
if the entire page should be replaced with static html, you can use a link with ng-href (to make it dynamic and data based and not hardcoded) - https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngHref
I have the following routeProvider configured:
angular.module('myModule').config ['$routeProvider', (provider) ->
provider
.when '',
templateUrl: '/templates/dashboard.html'
.when '/some_path/:some_param',
templateUrl: '/templates/dashboard.html'
And the following in a wrapping statically served template:
I also have a templates/dashboard.html appropriately defined.
When I navigate to the url, the initial page loads, however a # is not postpended on the URL, which then results in errors when I try to rewrite the URL in a controller with $location.path('fooPath').
Specifically $location.path('fooPath'), changes the URL to current_dashboard_path/#/ and reloads, while what I was expecting is for the URL to be set to:
current_dashboard_path/#/, an then location('fooPath'), to change that to current_dashboard_path/#/fooPath
Some additional context: I want to use this so that I can then use the $location service to change the url without reloading the page thus
Question is, how can I force Angular to postpend a # when an ng-view is populated.
I was missing the following line in my routeProvider:
.when '/',
templateUrl: '/templates/dashboard.html'
Additionally, the blank route
.when '',
templateUrl: '/templates/dashboard.html'
Needed to be removed
Then the way to rewrite the URL without reloading the page is the following in the controller:
lastRoute = route.current
scope.$on('$locationChangeSuccess', (event)->
route.current = lastRoute
)
