Loading partial html template into Angular app using Laravel - angularjs

Question

I'm trying to use the RouteProvider functionality in Angular. A different partial html template should be loaded depending on whether the user is editing a form, viewing a list of completed entries, etc. I've been unable to load the html templates within the same page. Instead, the user is redirected to a different page.
Here's the relevant Angular code:
.when(/new', {
controller: 'CreateCtrl'
templateUrl: 'partials/newform.html'
The Laravel Route:
Route::resource('services', 'ServicesController');
The newform.html file is located at resources/views/partials/newform.html within Laravel.
Any thoughts on how I can load these partial html templates from Laravel?

Answer 1

One way would be to reference the full path to the partials
.when('/new', {
controller: 'CreateCtrl'
//depending on your path adjust it
templateUrl: 'partials/newform'
since you are just using .html not tempalte.blade.php file for template you should move it to public folder.
Update:
If you really dont want to move the template out of view folder of laravel
create a route and serve your html from there
Route::group(array('prefix' => 'partials'), function(){
Route::get('/newform', function()
{
return File::get(app_path().'Views/partials/angular.html');
});
});
Note: I will suggest you not to mix Laravelc template with Angular, keep Laravel as REST API, and your Angular should separate layer.
Here are some Pros and Cons for both approach

I found another way using gulp, i leave my solution :)
In gulpfile.js inside elixir function add this line:
var elixir = require('laravel-elixir');
elixir(function(mix) {
mix.copy('resources/assets/js/angular/components/**/*.template.html', public/angular-templates');
//Find all files with suffix .template.html
});
As you notice it, i created a folder called 'angular' and then another one called 'components', there we will have our components
Angular-----------------------------
--Components------------------------
----my-component.directive.js-------
----my-component.template.html------
We have to create a global angular variable taking our browser window origin (www.myapp.com, localhost:8000, etc) by doing:
angular.module('myModule',[])
.value('pathAssets', location.origin + '/angular-templates/')
In our templateUrl we will call the template by writting:
templateUrl: pathAssets + '../angular-templates/my-template.html',
I have to say we have to concat our angular files in a file, otherwise it won't work D: if you don't know how to do it, add these lines in your gulpfile.js
mix.scripts([
'../../../bower_components/angular/angular.min.js',
'angular/app.js',
'angular/controllers/**/*.controller.js',
'angular/components/**/*.directive.js',
'angular/bootstrap.js',
], 'public/js/app.js'); //We concatenate angular files saving them in app.js
Finally execute the command 'gulp' in terminal(In our project), it should generate a new folder in public called angular-templates.
CONCLUSION
1. Move all your angular templates to public inside a specific folder by using elixir.
2. create a global variable in angular to save your origin URL and use it in your directives it automatically with this template in public.
