History in angularjs routing doesn't work - angularjs

i am coding an angular app i already created my app routing
AdminDashboard.config(['$routeProvider','$locationProvider',function($routeProvider, $locationProvider){
$routeProvider
.when('/',{
templateUrl: '../dashboard/administration/dashboard.html',
controller : 'Dashboard'}
)
//Students Routes
.when('/Students', {
templateUrl : '../dashboard/administration/students/students.html',
controller: 'ShowStudentsController'}
)
.when('/Students/:studentId/edit',{
templateUrl : '../dashboard/administration/students/modals/edit.html',
controller: 'EditStudentsController'
})
.when('/Students/create',{
templateUrl : '../dashboard/administration/students/modals/create.html',
controller: 'CreateStudentsController'
});
}]);
and the history wasn't working i did a research on Anuglar API
and i found that i've to add.
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
and then the browser back button was working and getting to the previous route but the template won't render.
Please help me. And i hope my question is clear.

(sorry, my rep is too low to add this as a comment but...)
I had a similar weird problem with routing not working earlier and it turned out to be a stray # link from the basic page design. I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason for that, but clicking on this # link would break all browser navigation for the remainder of the session.
Replacing those # hrefs with #/ prevented the problem for me.

$stateProvider angular add '/#' to my routes

I'm using $stateProvider to handle my routes in Angular 1 and I'm confused as to why my routes have an /# before they all start. I wouldn't mind but when I test those routes in Postman the routes return a 404 error. I'd like to find out why /# that gets added for my routes and get rid of it so I can connect my front end to my backend in node. I'm kind of new to using angular with node this so I'm not sure if I'm explaining my problem correctly.
Here's my code
app.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider){
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/main");
$stateProvider
.state("main", { url: "/main", templateUrl: "templates/main/main.view.html", controller: "MainCtrl" })
.state("map", { url: "/map", templateUrl: "templates/map/map.view.html", controller: "MapCtrl" })
});
These are what my routes look like
http://localhost:8080/#/main
http://localhost:8080/#/map
but I want them to look like
http://localhost:8080/main
http://localhost:8080/map
To get rid of #/ you would have to set $locationProvider.html5Mode(true); in one of your config files.
angular.module('app', []).config(function ($locationProvider) {
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});
For more information on html5 mode vs hashbang mode, have a look at the official angular documentation
Keep one thing in mind though, in html5 mode, your app might not be able to handle page refreshes properly without some server side url re-routing. More information in one of the stack overflow posts here: Reloading the page gives wrong GET request with AngularJS HTML5 mode
Man, just follow advises here and it's gonna be alright. Removing the fragment identifier from AngularJS urls (# symbol).

Angular templateUrl not redirecting to MVC controller

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

How to : Angularjs route refresh

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.

AngularJS fires navigation event twice when coming from a link with anchors

My home controller is run twice when I come from a sub-page that has an anchor in it:
From https://abc.com/versions#0.9.0 back to https://abc.com/ causes my HomeController to be run twice.
AngularJS seems to be unstable when it comes to anchors during the HTML5 mode. Do you experience similar issues or have found a solution for that?
The routing code is simple as following
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl : 'home.html',
controller : 'HomeCtrl'
})
.when('/versions', {
templateUrl : 'versions.html',
title : 'Changelog'
})
...
Any ideas?
See if going back to https://abc.com/# still generates the double run.

Angular RouteProvider redirect to another html file

I have to build an app for an existing website, but unfortunately the website (outside of my control) detects the user device and redirects to a mobile version.
I am trying to reuse the same js file but different html files.
So I have:
index.html for desktop
mobile.html for mobile
both call init.js where I want to handle my logic, my problem is that for some reason the routing is not working as I expected and I cannot figure out why.
Desktop:
I go to example.com
get redirect to example.com/#/steps/age/0
Refresh the page and it stays in example.com/#/steps/age/0
This works as expected
Mobile:
I go to example.com/mobile.html
get redirect to example.com/mobile.html#/steps/age/0
Refresh the page and instead of staying in the same url, it goes to example.com/steps/age/0#/steps/age/0
This does not work as expected (expected to stay in the same url once refreshing as in the step number 2)
Code below:
angular
.module('profileToolApp', ["ngRoute", "ngResource", "ngSanitize"])
.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider){
$routeProvider
.when('/steps/:steps*', {
templateUrl : 'profile-app.html',
controller : 'example'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/steps/age/0'
});
})
.controller('example', function($scope, $routeParams, $resource, $location){
console.log("example controller");
});
Can anyone please advise?
Thanks.
Angular is examining the entire path to see where it should route to. So when you have example.com/mobile.html#/steps/age/0 There is no matching route, so it substitutes the route for you, in place of mobile.html so you get /steps/age/0#/steps/age/0 from your otherwise. The fundamental problem is that angular has no sense of what mobile.html means, and takes it as a parameter.
One solution is to use routes to separate your pages.
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl : 'desktop.html', //was 'index.html pre edit
controller : 'example'
})
.when('/mobile/', {
templateUrl : 'mobile.html',
controller : 'example'
})
.when('/steps/:steps*', {
templateUrl : 'profile-app.html',
controller : 'example'
})
.when('/mobile/steps/:steps*', {
templateUrl : 'mobile-profile-app.html',
controller : 'example'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
})
Controllers may vary as needed.
Alternatives to this are to have mobile.html use its own angular App and routing, which may be beneficial since you won't run into desktop directives leaking into mobile. You can inject all of your directives and controllers into it, but still have a nice separation of index and mobile. You can take that a step further and have a redirect to m.example.com, but that's a different topic.
EDIT I made a mistake. Having templateUrl be index.html is a bit wrong. index.html should contain your ng-app and your ng-view directives, possibly a controller. Any common html should reside there. desktop.html and mobile.html should contain the specific HTML for those platforms.
As an afterthought, Within those you could have a directive called profile that does all of your profile work, and with a bit of ng-switch you can have that appear if steps is defined in the scope, and use:
$routeProvider
.when('/steps?/:steps?', {
templateUrl : 'desktop.html', //was 'index.html pre edit
controller : 'example'
})
.when('/mobile/steps?/:steps?', {
templateUrl : 'mobile.html',
controller : 'example'
})
But now I'm rambling, I'm not 100% sure that will work tbh. END EDIT
