AngularJS - Show route only after all promises are resolved - angularjs

I try to load route only after promises are resolved
var app = angular.module("thethaoso", ["ngRoute"]);
app.config(['$routeProvider', '$locationProvider', function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
resolve: {
message: function (repoService) {
return repoService.getMsg();
}
}
});
}]);
app.factory('repoService', function ($http) {
return {
getMsg: function () {
return "hihihi";
}
};
});
app.controller('teamLoadCtrl', function ($scope,message) {
$scope.message= message;
});
View:
<div ng-app='thethaoso' ng-controller='teamLoadCtrl'>
{{message}}
</div>
Always get the error Error: [$injector:unpr]http://errors.angularjs.org/1.3.7/$injector/unpr?p0=messageProvider%20%3C-%20message%20%3C-%20teamLoadCtrl

Am I missing something ?
Thanks all.

The problem is that you have not specified a template and a controller to resolve the message object to. If you used the following syntax, it will work.
.when("/", {
templateUrl: "yourView.html",
controller: "yourController",
resolve: {
message: function(yourService){
return yourService.get();
}
}
Here is a working jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/c0y38yp0/10/
You can also resolve the promise manually in your controller like so:
repoService.getMsg()
.then(function (msg) {
$scope.message = msg;
}
When the promise is resolved onto the scope as I did above, the ui will update. You can show a loading bar and use ng-hide to make the pages feel fluent while the loading occurs.

When you resolve, service have to return promise not value.
Here is example service
app.factory('repoService', function ($http, $q) {
var user = {};
var q = $q.defer();
$http.get('https://api.github.com/users/Serhioromano')
.success(function(json){
user = json;
q.resolve();
}).error(function(){
q.reject();
});
return {
promise: function() {
return q.promise;
},
get: function() {
return user;
}
};
});
The point here is that you return promise only. You handle how you save result. And then you can use this result like in get(). You know that by the time you call get() the user variable already set because promise was resolve.
Now in router.
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, repoService) {
$scope.user = repoService.get();
});
app.config(function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: '/view.html',
controller: 'MainCtrl',
resolve: {
message: function (repoService) {
return repoService.promise();
}
}
})
.otherwise({ redirectTo: '/' });
});
You return promise by repoService.promise()
In controller repoService.get() is triggered only after that promise resolved.
So you get your data.
Another thing in your code, you used ng-controller. But that thing is not binded to router and thus it avoid if it is resolved or not. You have to delete ng-controller and use controller router controller: 'MainCtrl',.
This affect your HTML
<body ng-app="myapp">
<ng-view></ng-view>
<script type="text/ng-template" id="/view.html">
<p>Hello {{user.name}}!</p>
</script>
<body>
You have to use <ng-view> to include subtemplate there and then in sub template you can use scope of the controller.
See plunker.

There are a few things wrong with the code you posted, in contrast to the code you are attempting to draw inspiration from.
When you resolve a route with the $routeProvider, the results are applied against an element <ng-view></ngview>, not a base element <div> as you have specified. Without the <ng-view> element, there is no way for the $routeProvider to bind the correct controller to the correct html fragment. Using ng-controller instantiates a controller instance when the dom element is rendered, and does not allow passing parameters to the controller as you have tried. Thus your resolution error due to an unknown message object. Effectively, message is not available outside the $routeProvider instance.

ui-router resolve is not working with the index page controller

I want to resolve some value before I load the first page of my application, but it kept telling me
Unknown provider: programClassSummaryProvider <- programClassSummary <- HomeCtrl
I pretty sure I did it correctly, because I did the same thing for any other controller and routing. but it is not working for my homepage controller.
It seems like it load the controller first, before it is resolved in the routing. Anything wrong with my code?
In routing.js
$stateProvider
.state('home', {
url: '/home',
controller: 'HomeCtrl',
controllerAs: 'vm',
templateUrl: 'index_main.html',
resolve: {
programClassSummary: ['GroupDataFactory', function (groupDf) {
return groupDf.getProgramClassSummary();
}]
},
ncyBreadcrumb: {
skip: true
}
});
in controller.js
angular
.module('issMccApp')
.controller('HomeCtrl', homeCtrl);
homeCtrl.$inject = ['$scope', '$location', '$state', '$auth', 'programClassSummary'];
/* #ngInject */
function homeCtrl($scope, $location, $state, $auth, programClassSummary) {
var vm = this;
vm.isAuthenticated = isAuthenticated;
vm.programClassSummary = programClassSummary;
if (!$auth.isAuthenticated()) {
$state.go('login');
return;
}
function isAuthenticated() {
return $auth.isAuthenticated();
}
}
in factory.js
function getProgramClassSummary(showAll) {
var query = "";
if (showAll)
query = APIConfigObj.base_url + '/api/group/infor/programclasssummary?all=1';
else
query = APIConfigObj.base_url + '/api/group/infor/programclasssummary';
return $http.get(query)
.success(function (result) {
return result;
})
.error(function (err) {
return err;
})
}
I'd say, we really have to distinguish the UI-Router state world, and angular itself. Reason why is clearly defined here (extracted $resolve from UI-Router API documentation):
$resolve
resolve(invocables, locals, parent, self)
Resolves a set of invocables. An invocable is a function to be invoked via $injector.invoke(), and can have an arbitrary number of dependencies. An invocable can either return a value directly, or a $q promise. If a promise is returned it will be resolved and the resulting value will be used instead. Dependencies of invocables are resolved (in this order of precedence)
from the specified locals
from another invocable that is part of this $resolve call
from an invocable that is inherited from a parent call to $resolve (or recursively
from any ancestor $resolve of that parent).
There is a wroking plunker, which uses this index.html
<body ng-controller="RootCtrl">
a summary for a root:
<pre>{{summary}}</pre>
<ul>
<li>home
<li>other
</ul>
<div ui-view=""></div>
So, here we use some RootCtrl, which won't go through state machine UI-Router, it is angular basic stuff
The root controller must be defined as
.controller('RootCtrl', ['$scope', 'GroupDataFactory', function ($scope, groupDf) {
$scope.summary = groupDf.getProgramClassSummary();
}])
For a state home, we can use different approach, in fact the same as above (simplifed version below)
.state('home', {
url: "/home",
templateUrl: 'tpl.home.html',
resolve: {
programClassSummary: ['GroupDataFactory', function (groupDf) {
return groupDf.getProgramClassSummary();
}]
},
controller: 'HomeCtrl',
})
And its controller is now able to consume the locals
.controller('HomeCtrl', ['$scope', 'programClassSummary', function ($scope, summary) {
$scope.summaryForHome = summary;
}])

Angular factory always called twice

I am calling a REST service from angular and it always calls the factory twice. Here is the factory code.
app.factory('dataFactory', ['$http', function ($http) {
var urlBase = '/api';
var dataFactory = {};
dataFactory.getMyItems = function () {
return $http.get(urlBase + '/MyItems');
};
return dataFactory;
} ]);
It's called from the controller here
app.controller('MyItemsController', ['$scope', 'dataFactory',
function ($scope, dataFactory) {
$scope.myItems;
getItems();
function getItems() {
dataFactory.getMyItems()
.success(function (itemsData) {
$scope.myItems = itemsData;
})
.error(function (error) {
$scope.status = 'Unable to load items data: ' + error.message;
});
}
}
]);
I had the same problem as yours where the controller in general was called twice; hence, the factory will be called twice.
But after looking at this solution:
Combating AngularJS executing controller twice
Step 1:
Make sure you are adding the service and controller in your (main layout view) only once.
Example:
index.html
<script src="../MyItemsController.js"></script>
<script src="../MyItemsService.js"></script>
If the problem still persists after doing step 1 go to step 2
Step 2:
There are two ways to do it:-
1. Either keep the controller in your view (ng-controller), and remove it from your config route like this:
route config (usually, app.js):
app.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider){
$routeProvider.when('/',
{
templateUrl: 'pages/home.html'
//Remove controller from here
});
}]);
home.html
<!-- Add the ng-controller in your view -->
<div ng-controller="MyItemsController">
<!-- Your stuff -->
</div>
2. Or keep the controller in your config route, and remove ng-controller
from view like this:
route config (usually, app.js):
app.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider){
$routeProvider.when('/',
{
templateUrl: 'pages/home.html',
controller: 'MyItemsController' //Add the controller here
});
}]);
home.html
<!-- Remove the ng-controller in your view -->
<div>
<!-- Your stuff -->
</div>
Note: The above solution works with ui router as well.

Angular router resolve results in an unknown provider error

I am trying to use Angular's routing to resolve the necessary objects for the controller scope. I have read a few tutorials on how to do this but I still get an Unknown Provider error. The issue seems to be with project being injected into ProjectDetailCtrl.
app.js
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute']);
myApp.config( function ($interpolateProvider, $routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
...
.when('/project/:projectId', {
templateUrl : 'partials/_project_detail.html',
controller: 'ProjectDetailCtrl',
resolve: {
project: function ($route, MyService) {
return MyService.get('projects/', $route.current.params.projectId).then(function(data) {
console.log('VERIFY DATA: ', data);
return data;
});
}
}
controllers.js
.controller('ProjectDetailCtrl', function ($scope, project) {
$scope.project = project;
}
Edit
services.js
.factory('MyService', function ($http, $q) {
var MyService = {
...
get: function (items_url, objId) {
var defer = $q.defer();
$http({method: 'GET',
url: api_url + items_url + objId}).
success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
defer.resolve(data);
}).error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
defer.reject(status);
});
return defer.promise;
},
Edit 2
The issue is apparently not with the Service method, as this also produces the error:
app.js
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute']);
myApp.config( function ($interpolateProvider, $routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
...
.when('/project/:projectId', {
templateUrl : 'partials/_project_detail.html',
controller: 'ProjectDetailCtrl',
resolve: {
project: {title: 'foo'}
}
});
})
I can verify my resolve function is being returned properly, but Angular still complains that project is unidentified. What is this issue here? I have tried making my controllers into a module and passing that to the myApp module, but I still get the same Unidentified Provider issue for project.
Note: I am using Angular 1.2.9.
Edit 3: solution
So the issue was this line in my template:
<!-- WRONG: <div ng-controller="ProjectDetailCtrl">-->
<div>
<h2 ng-show="project">Project: <strong>{{ project.title }}</strong></h2>
</div>
Apparently the ng-controller directive cannot be use with resolve.
You forgot to add ngRoute as a dependency for your module. Thats why $routeProvider and $route service are undefined.
Update:
See this example. Problem was in ng-controller directive
You're returning the MyService.get, which is a promise, and then within the result of the promise, you're returning the data.... but to what?
You want to return the promise, but not the original promise... so you create your own promise using $q, and Angular will wait and resolve it for you before loading your route.
project: function ($route, MyService) {
var deferred = $q.defer();
MyService.get('projects/', $route.current.params.projectId).then(function(data) {
console.log('VERIFY DATA: ', data);
deferred.resolve(data);
});
return deferred.promise;
}
Or, assuming MyService.get returns a promise, you should be able to just do
project: function ($route, MyService) {
return MyService.get('projects/', $route.current.params.projectId);
}
And obviously inject $q into config
This question has been asked before, therefore it's a possible duplicate.
The top answer points out usage of controllers within markup to have caused this.
Search your codebase (markup or templates to be exact) for the term ng-controller.
Verify if there is a matching controller, as in this case ProjectDetailCtrl
Remove it from the markup
It solved the problem in my case.

Does AngularJS have dynamic routing?

Does angular support dynamic routing at all?
Maybe some trick like this:
$routeProvider.when('/:ctrl/:action',
getRoute($routeParams.ctrl,$routeParams.action))
function getRoute(ctrl, action){
return {
templateUrl: ctrl+"-"+action+".html"
controller: 'myCtrl'
}
}
Please help me, I need to get templateUrl based out of routeParams
This is a late answer but I came across this problem myself, but it turns out that the solution by Dan conflicts with ngAnimate classes on the ngView directive, and the view is shown but the ng-leave animation will immediately be applied and hide the view opened with his dynamic routing.
I found the perfect solution here, and it's available in 1.1.5 +
In the $routeProvider, the templateUrl value can be a function, and is passed the route parameters:
app.config(function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/:page', {
templateUrl: function(routeParams){
return '/partials/'+routeParams.page+'.html';
}
})
});
Though the controller can't be given as a function so my solution is to give it in the template html as per usual with ng-controller="HomeCtrl".
Using this solution we can route by convention in Angular.
I hope this helps others who weren't keen on manually adding every route to the routeProvider.
You want to bring it down to the controller level.
In this example, I am overriding entire pages as well as partials by subdomain:
app.js
config(['$routeProvider', '$locationProvider', function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
$routeProvider.when('/', {
template: 'home'
});
$routeProvider.when('/contact', {
template: 'contact'
});
$routeProvider.otherwise({redirectTo: '/'});
}])
controllers.js
controller('AppController', ['$scope','Views', function($scope, Views) {
$scope.$on("$routeChangeSuccess",function( $currentRoute, $previousRoute ){
$scope.page = Views.returnView();
});
$scope.returnView = function(partial){
return Views.returnView(partial);
}
}])
services.js
factory('Views', function($location,$route,$routeParams,objExistsFilter) {
var viewsService = {};
var views = {
subdomain1:{
'home':'/views/subdomain1/home.html'
},
subdomain2:{
},
'global.header':'/views/global.header.html',
'global.footer':'/views/global.footer.html',
'home':'/views/home.html',
'home.carousel':'/views/home.carousel.html',
'contact':'/views/contact.html',
};
viewsService.returnView = function(partial) {
var y = (typeof partial === 'undefined')?$route.current.template:partial;
var x = $location.host().split(".");
return (x.length>2)?(objExistsFilter(views[x[0]][y]))?views[x[0]][y]:views[y]:views[y];
};
viewsService.returnViews = function() {
return views;
};
return viewsService;
}).
filters.js
filter('objExists', function () {
return function (property) {
try {
return property;
} catch (err) {
return null
}
};
});
index.html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" ng-controller="AppController">
<body>
<ng-include src="returnView('global.header')"></ng-include>
<ng-include src="page"></ng-include>
<ng-include src="returnView('global.footer')"></ng-include>

Simple Angular $routeProvider resolve test. What is wrong with this code?

I have created a simple Angular JS $routeProvider resolve test application. It gives the following error:
Error: Unknown provider: dataProvider <- data
I would appreciate it if someone could identify where I have gone wrong.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="ResolveTest">
<head>
<title>Resolve Test</title>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.6/angular.js"> </script>
<script src="ResolveTest.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="ResolveCtrl">
<div ng-view></div>
</body>
</html>
ResolveTest.js
var rt = angular.module("ResolveTest",[]);
rt.config(["$routeProvider",function($routeProvider)
{
$routeProvider.when("/",{
templateUrl: "rt.html",
controller: "ResolveCtrl",
resolve: {
data: ["$q","$timeout",function($q,$timeout)
{
var deferred = $q.defer();
$timeout(function()
{
deferred.resolve("my data value");
},2000);
return deferred.promise;
}]
}
});
}]);
rt.controller("ResolveCtrl",["$scope","data",function($scope,data)
{
console.log("data : " + data);
$scope.data = data;
}]);
rt.html
<span>{{data}}</span>
The problem is that you have ng-controller="ResolveCtrl" on your body tag in index.html when also in your $routeProvider you specify the same controller for rt.html. Take out the controller definition from your body tag and just let the $routeProvider take care of it. It works great after that.
According to the angularjs documentation for $routeprovider the resolve object is a map from key (dependency name) to factory function or name of an existing service. Try this instead:
var myFactory = function($q, $timeout) { ... };
myFactory.$inject = ['$q', '$timeout'];
$routeProvider.when("/",{
templateUrl: "rt.html",
controller: "ResolveCtrl",
resolve: {
data: myFactory
}
});
By adding data to the definition of the controller your telling angular that you expect to inject a service or factory here yet you don't have a data service or factory thus the error. To use the data variable you have all you need from the $scope.data line. So to fix this you need to remove the data injection from your controller call.
var rt = angular.module("ResolveTest",[]);
rt.config(["$routeProvider",function($routeProvider)
{
$routeProvider.when("/",{
templateUrl: "rt.html",
controller: "ResolveCtrl",
resolve: {
data: ["$q","$timeout",function($q,$timeout)
{
var deferred = $q.defer();
$timeout(function()
{
deferred.resolve("my data value");
},2000);
return deferred.promise;
}]
}
});
}]);
rt.controller("ResolveCtrl",["$scope", function($scope)
{
$scope.data = "";
}]);
If you want to have a data provider add a factory something like
rt.factory('data', ['$http', function($http){
return {
// Functions to get data here
}
}]);
Then in your controller call the appropriate function from this factory.
Also as the others have pointed out you don't need the controller both in your route and in an ng-controller (this will nest your controller in your controller if you inspect the scopes).
If you must use resolve you still need a factory as resolve will just point to the proper factory which needs to be declared separately.
