Call a Angular js page in Play framework - angularjs

Question

I am finding trouble to display my AngularJs page from Play framework 2.2
The Angular js page is located in the same project directory which is
C:\webProj\test\app\www\index.html
Note this index.html is not the index.scala.html that we have in play views directory
I need to render this page from my Play project.
I have tried this
GET /masterid controller.Assets.at("/app/www/",index.html)
but it gives a compilation error.

Answer 1

Explanation of the error
There are some syntax errors in this route configuration:
GET /masterid controller.Assets.at("/app/www/",index.html)
It should be controllers instead of controller, the path is wrong, and the parameters are not specified correctly. It could be written as:
GET /masterid controllers.Assets.at(path="/app/www", file="index.html")
Note that as written, this route will map only to the index.html file, not to any other resources under /masterid.
Solution with a separate directory
To behave exactly as asked, with a separate directory and a custom URL, you would need to specity a second asset route in addition to the default one. This would also require changing all usages of #routes.Assets.at to specify two parameters (folder and file), and adding a configuration to build.sbt:
playAssetsDirectories <+= baseDirectory / "app/www"
Solution using the public directory and a custom URL
The path of least resistance is to create the custom index.html file in the project's public directory. To use a custom URL as asked in the question, you could change the default asset path to "masterid" by changing this line in the routes file:
GET /assets/*file controllers.Assets.at(path="/public", file)
to this:
GET /masterid/*file controllers.Assets.at(path="/public", file)
In this case the custom index.html file could be accessed as:
http://localhost:9000/masterid/index.html
Relative URLs to other resources under the /public folder would work as well.
Solution using the public directory and the default URL
If you don't require the /masterid URL under the root, you can save your index.html file under public/app and refer to it as:
#routes.Assets.at("app/index.html")
This will resolve to:
http://localhost:9000/assets/app/index.html

Answer 2

Make it faster, just place your file in i.e.: /public/angular-app/index.html, so you can use it via:
#routes.Assets.at("angular-app/index.html")
Next (assuming that you have standard routes) you can just use static paths to your public assets, i.e. if image is placed in folder public/img/logo.png you can access it with:
<img src="/assets/img/logo.png" alt=""/>
So just by replacing public/ to /assets/ (slash at beginning to make sure you don't need to use base tag in head of document).
