Group id not showing up in HTML when using routeProvider - angularjs

I am having some difficulty getting routeParams to work for my site. I am attempting to have a list of groups displayed with the ability to select one and be routed to a page with that groups specific details. I asked a similar question yesterday but don't think I knew exactly what to ask for. The way I have it set up now I only see
'/#/viewgroup/:id'
in the browser instead of the actual id number and the page is blank. Thank you for the help!
ROUTES:
.whenAuthenticated('/viewgroup/:id', {
templateUrl: 'views/groups/groupDetail.html',
controller: 'GroupCtrl'
})
INDEX.HTML:
<div class="col-md-4" ng-repeat="group in data.groups | filter: filterObject | filter: search">
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h5 class="panel-title">{{group.name}}</h5>
</div>
GROUPDETAIL.HTML:
<div ng-show="group in data.groups">
<ol class="breadcrumb">
<li>Home</li>
<li>Groups</li>
<li class="active">{{group.name}}</li>
</ol>
GROUPCTRL:
I am only using the 'groups/data.json' for the data because I am not sure how to pull in this data from the firebase server. Pulling from the server is really what I need.
creativeBillingApp.controller('GroupCtrl', ['$scope', 'groupsService', '$routeParams', function( $scope, groupsService, $firebase, $routeParams, $http) {
$http.get('groups/data.json').success(function(data){
angular.forEach(data, function(item) {
if (item.id == $routeParams.groupId)
$scope.group = item;
});
});

The :id syntax is only used in the routeProvider to indicate where it should look for the id value in the URL. In the view you use the normal {{}} or ng-bind notation to inject that id value into the generated HTML.
Assuming that your groups is the result of a $firebase(ref).$asArray() somewhere, you can access the id value of each item using $id.
So where you now have <a href="#viewgroup/:id"> in your index.html, simply put <a href="#viewgroup/{{group.$id}}">. Angular will substitute that for the group id when it renders the template.

Angularjs compile a directive inside ng-repeat with isolated scope

I have a directive in the form of a dropdown, pretty simple. The user can click a button to add as many as they need to in a ul, make their selections, and save it off. This is all inside of several ng-repeats.
I'm having trouble mastering the scope. As I expected, this works:
<div ng-repeat="group in groups" question-group="group" class="question-group">
<div ng-repeat="question in questions">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="case in question.cases"></li>
<li><new-case group='group'></new-case></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
When I say "works", I mean that group is properly scoped (the data of the entire group is necessary for the resulting input).
When I switch it to "click to add":
<div ng-repeat="group in groups" question-group="group" class="question-group">
<div ng-repeat="question in questions">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="case in question.cases"></li>
<li>add case</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
group is undefined in the scope. Here is my createNewCase function:
function createNewCase($event) {
var thisLi = angular.element($event.target).closest('li');
var listItem = $compile('<li><new-case group=\'group\'></new-case></li>');
var html = listItem($scope);
thisLi.before(html);
}
$scope.createNewCase = createNewCase;
And the newCase directive:
angular.module('groups.directives.newCaseDirective', [])
.directive('newCase', ['$window', function() {
return {
restrict: 'EA',
scope: { group: '=' },
templateUrl: 'groups/views/newcase.tpl.html'
};
}]);
I've been reading for days and I've tried a few other derivatives but I'm ultimately just not getting it. Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
The issue is that group is created by ng-repeat and is only available in child scopes of ng-repeat.
Each repeated element is in it's own child scope. So your directive version works but your other one doesn't because the controller doesn't see those child scopes.
You would have to pass group as argument of the function if you want to access it in controller
<a href="#" ng-click="createNewCase($event, group)">

Dynamic view names based on the parameters returned while calling the state

I am using Kendo tabstrip with angular ng-repeat and ui-router. Now the tabstrip can have different combination and different number of tabs based on the input. I am able to give different ui-sref and ui-view names to each tab while adding tabs dynamically using angular ng-repeat.
<div class="demo-section k-content">
<div kendo-tab-strip="detailsTabStrip" k-ng-delay="Tabs">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="tab in Tabs" ng-class="getClass($first,tab)" ui-sref="{{tab.sref}}">
{{tab.name}}
</li>
</ul>
<div ng-repeat="tab in Tabs" ui-view="{{tab.view}}"></div>
</div>
</div>
So, this code gives an individual ui-view to each tab. There can 150 different types of views possible in tabs. So, I cannot hard code the view names in the router file. I need the router to accept a parameter for view name or at least in some way I can let the router know which view to populate with the html.
$stateProvider
.state('details.tab', {
url:'/tab/:tabName',
views:{
// the view name should be able to either read the state param and
// accordingly assign template or should at least be able to read the state
// and accordingly assign the template or if views can be a function.
"details.tabName": {
templateUrl: 'resources/pages/grid.html',
controller: 'gridController'
}
}
});
Is it possible to make the views names dynamic in any way. There are other parts in the application which have absolute ui-view defined and work perfectly. The changes made to make views names dynamic for this part should not affect the other parts of application. Can I use relative views to achieve this in any way? Thanks for all the help.
Also, if I am adding tabs to kendo-tab-strip dynamically using ng-repeat, can i specify a single ui-view="details" for the tabstrip. Like for all the tab states, populate details view.
<div kendo-tab-strip="tabStrip">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="tab in Tabs" ng-class="getClass($first,tab)" ui-sref="{{tab.sref}}">
{{tab.name}}
</li>
</ul>
<div ui-view="details"></div>
</div>
If I do this, all the tab loads up fine first time but if I try to deep dive into tabs, for ex: if I try to deep dive into fifth tab, then the content for fifth tab loads up fine but its not shown. Even though the tab is shown as active(I am using ng-class as a function to decide which tab should be shown active by sending k-state-active to the appropriate tab while adding it).
And if I define different views for different tabs dynamically like below,
<div kendo-tab-strip="detailsTabStrip" k-ng-delay="Tabs">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="tab in Tabs" ng-class="getClass($first,tab)" ui-sref="{{tab.sref}}">
{{tab.name}}
</li>
</ul>
<div ng-repeat="tab in Tabs" ui-view="{{tab.view}}"></div>
</div>
then dont know, how to tell state router which view should be populated when a particular tab is clicked. Like when third tab is clicked, the corresponding ui-view specified is ui-view="third",when fourth tab is clicked, the corresponding ui-view specified is ui-view="fourth" and so on.How to configure the views dynamically in ui-router?
Thanks a lot for all the help.
Make a common view, use that view name on your state provider.
In that view include your desiered view as
<ng-include ng-src="'resources/pages' + tabname + '.html'" />
A cleaner solution is provided here:
app.js:
app.config(function ($locationProvider, $urlRouterProvider, $stateProvider) {
$urlRouterProviderRef = $urlRouterProvider;
$locationProvider.html5Mode(false);
$stateProviderRef = $stateProvider;
});
app.run(['$q', '$rootScope', '$state', '$http',
function ($q, $rootScope, $state, $http)
{
$http.get("myJson.json")
.success(function(data)
{
angular.forEach(data, function (value, key)
{
var state = {
"url": value.url,
"parent" : value.parent,
"abstract": value.abstract,
"views": {}
};
angular.forEach(value.views, function (view)
{
state.views[view.name] = {
templateUrl : view.templateUrl,
};
});
$stateProviderRef.state(value.name, state);
});
$state.go("home");
});
}]);

Live search in AngularJS: updating the results

I want a live search: the results are queried from web api and updated as the user types.
The problem is that the list flickers and the "No results" text appears for a fraction of second, even if the list of results stays the same. I guess I need to remove and add items with special code to avoid this, calculating differences between arrays, etc.
Is there a simpler way to avoid this flicker at least, and probably to have possibility to animate the changes?
It looks like this now:
The html part is:
<div class="list-group">
<a ng-repeat="test in tests track by test.id | orderBy: '-id'" ng-href="#/test/{{test.id}}" class="list-group-item">
<h4 class="list-group-item-heading">{{test.name}}</h4>
{{test.description}}
</a>
</div>
<div ng-show="!tests.length" class="panel panel-danger">
<div class="panel-body">
No tests found.
</div>
<div class="panel-footer">Try a different search or clear the text to view new tests.</div>
</div>
And the controller:
testerControllers.controller('TestSearchListCtrl', ['$scope', 'TestSearch',
function($scope, TestSearch) {
$scope.tests = TestSearch.query();
$scope.$watch('search', function() {
$scope.tests = TestSearch.query({'q':$scope.search});
});
}]);
You should use ng-animate module to get the classes you need for smooth animation. For each ng-repeat item that's moved, added, or removed - angular will add specific classes. Then you can style those classes via CSS or JS so they don’t flicker.
An alternative way of doing what you require is to use the angular-ui bootstrap Typeahead component (check at the bottom of the post). It has a type-ahead-wait property in milliseconds and also a template url for customising it.
<div ng-app>
<div ng-controller="MyController">
<input type="search" ng-model="search" placeholder="Search...">
<button ng-click="fun()">search</button>
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="name in names">{{ name }}</li>
</ul>
<p>Tips: Try searching for <code>ann</code> or <code>lol</code>
</p>
</div>
</div>
function MyController($scope, $filter) {
$scope.names = [
'Lolita Dipietro',
'Annice Guernsey',
'Gerri Rall',
'Ginette Pinales',
'Lon Rondon',
'Jennine Marcos',
'Roxann Hooser',
'Brendon Loth',
'Ilda Bogdan',
'Jani Fan',
'Grace Soller',
'Everette Costantino',
'Andy Hume',
'Omar Davie',
'Jerrica Hillery',
'Charline Cogar',
'Melda Diorio',
'Rita Abbott',
'Setsuko Minger',
'Aretha Paige'];
$scope.fun = function () {
console.log($scope.search);
$scope.names = $filter('filter')($scope.names, $scope.search);
};
}

angular-ui-router dynamic menu: TypeError: Cannot call method 'match' of undefined while rendering menu

i am new to angular and angular-ui-router and trying to create a menu.
I tried angular-ui-router and think that it fits for my needs.
now i have a problem while creating the menu with the ui-router attributes.
my html code looks like that:
<div ng-controller="MenuCtrl">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="item in menu">
<a ui-sref="cf.{{item}}">{{item}}</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
the menu array contains different entries dependent on the info if the user is logged in.
now i get this error message:
TypeError: Cannot call method 'match' of undefined
<a ui-sref="cf.{{item}}" class="ng-binding">
It looks like ui-router tries to get access to the list entry before it is rendered complete with ng-repeat.
What can i do to prevent this problem?
So ui-router doesn't support interpolation in ui-sref, believe me I wish they would. Here is how I solved this.
In your controller:
app.controller("MenuCtrl", ['$scope', '$state', function($scope, $state) {
$scope.$state = $state;
}]);
In your view use an ng-href to evaluate $state object that we've now added to the $scope:
<div ng-controller="MenuCtrl">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="item in menu">
<a ng-href={{ $state.href('cf.' + item) }}>{{item}}</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
You can also you this technique for wildcard params:
ng-href="{{ $state.href('cf.items.item', {'item' : item} ) }}"
Assuming you've set up your ui-router routes properly for this.

How to access route parameters outside the view

I'm writing a very simple Angular app for showing information about football tournaments. For each tournament in the database I want to show a view of either the matches or the statistics, so I'm implementing this simple URL scheme:
foo/matches: matches of tournament Foo,
foo/stats: statistics for tournament Foo.
The index.html file is structured like this:
<nav ng-controller="NavController">
<ul>
<li> Matches
<li> Stats
</ul>
</nav>
<div ng-view></div>
and the routes are configured like this:
app.config(['$routeProvider', function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/:t/matches', {templateUrl: 'partials/matches.html', controller: 'MatchesController'})
.when('/:t/stats', {templateUrl: 'partials/stats.html', controller: 'StatsController' })
}]);
My problem are those {{ t }} links in the HTML. I want the links to change the view to the stats or the match list for the current tournament. But since the links are outside the view, so they don't have access to the route parameters (I tried injecting $routeParams and all I get is an empty object).
In summary, I haven't been able to create links for changing the view outside of it. The nav bar doesn't know what is the current tournament.
How can I (and what is the best way to) access the current state of the view (in this case, the current tournament) outside of it?
After reading a bit about scopes I learned how they nest. I solved my problem simply by wrapping both the view and the navigation bar with a new controller:
<div ng-controller="NavController">
<nav>
<ul>
<li> Matches
<li> Stats
</ul>
</nav>
<div ng-view></div>
</div>
The view will inherit NavController's scope prototypically. I initialized an object in the outer scope, and assigned the desired value to one of its properties in the inner controllers:
app.controller('NavController', function ($scope) {
$scope.currentTournament = {};
});
app.controller('MatchesController', function ($scope, $routeParams) {
// ...
$scope.currentTournament.id = $routeParams.t;
});
app.controller('StatsController', function ($scope, $routeParams) {
// ...
$scope.currentTournament.id = $routeParams.t;
});
If you are using ui-router, you could use the $stateParams service to access state and state variables from anywhere in your app.
