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

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
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});
When you "reload a page", you whole app will reinit again. That means if you are not on the main page, and the sub route you are at missing some data, you will likely get an error.
You should look into resolve attribute for routes, so for example,
.when('/Settings', {
templateUrl: 'js/app/pages/Settings.html',
controller: 'settingsController',
reloadOnSearch: false,
resolve: {
resourceone: function(){return whatsneeedtoberesolvehere;}
}
})
that way no matter where your app is reloaded, it will have the necessary data to boot the page
Just keep the # in URL, you don't have to put extra effort to manage reloads etc. you can think a "#" in URL represent a specific state in single page application.
Otherwise it can be managed by module rewriting, that map the url with hashed version URL internally for AngularJs app.
OK, so I am an Angular.js newbie and I am working on creating some rudimentary routing. I have the following definition for my routing:
JBenchApp.config(['$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.
I am using $routeProvider with an angular app so I have a configuration like so:
$routeProvider
.when '/compilations',
templateUrl: 'angular/templates/player_compilation.html'
controller: 'compilationController'
.when '/news',
templateUrl: 'angular/templates/player_news.html'
controller: 'newsController'
.otherwise
redirectTo: '/compilations'
So this will give me the pages: www.mydomain.com/#/ compilations and www.mydomain.com/#/news
Is it possible for me to use the url: www.mydomain.com? If so, what would be the configuration?
Additional Explication
What I am trying to do (and perhaps this is a lost cause) is use angularjs for only part of the domain. so www.mydomain.com/news, and www.mydomain.com/compilations are part of the angular app, but www.mydomain.com/sign_in gets served separate, non-angular content. So this works, but I am trying to get the base domain: www.mydomain.com to be part of the angular app without a redirect. I have been unable to figure out how to do this?
I solved this by using $location html5 modes. For pages outside the angular app I created a controller which reloaded the page:
.otherwise
templateUrl: 'angular/templates/blank_page.html'
controller: 'redirectController'
I have to build an app for an existing website, but unfortunately the website (outside of my control) detects the user device and redirects to a mobile version.
I am trying to reuse the same js file but different html files.
So I have:
index.html for desktop
mobile.html for mobile
both call init.js where I want to handle my logic, my problem is that for some reason the routing is not working as I expected and I cannot figure out why.
Desktop:
I go to example.com
get redirect to example.com/#/steps/age/0
Refresh the page and it stays in example.com/#/steps/age/0
This works as expected
Mobile:
I go to example.com/mobile.html
get redirect to example.com/mobile.html#/steps/age/0
Refresh the page and instead of staying in the same url, it goes to example.com/steps/age/0#/steps/age/0
This does not work as expected (expected to stay in the same url once refreshing as in the step number 2)
Code below:
angular
.module('profileToolApp', ["ngRoute", "ngResource", "ngSanitize"])
.config(function($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
