AngularJS + ui-router - lightbox overlay with deep links - angularjs

I'm trying to use AngularJS to create a lightbox which contains url deeplinks. This works fine, but I need to name it for every page I want it to work on with the template behind it.
I can get this to work using ui-router and named views:
<ul>
<li><a ui-sref="home">Home</a></li>
<li><a ui-sref="portfolio">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a ui-sref="videos">Videos</a></li>
</ul>
<div ui-view></div>
<div ui-view="overlay"></div>
And the javascript:
$stateProvider
.state('home', {
url: '/',
controller: 'HomeCtrl',
templateUrl: 'html/Home.html'
})
.state('portfolio', {
url: '/portfolio/:id',
controller: 'PortfolioCtrl',
templateUrl: 'html/Portfolio.html'
})
.state('videos', {
views: {
'overlay#': {
controller: 'VideosCtrl',
templateUrl: 'html/Videos.html'
}
}
});
Expected behaviour:
- click home, then click videos = shows videos overlay on home
- click portfolio, then click videos = shows videos overlay on portfolio page
Actual behaviour:
- click home, then click videos = shows videos overlay with blank page behind
- click portfolio, then click videos = shows videos overlay with blank page behind
Is there a way to have the named view update on any page leaving the existing ui-view intact?

You might look into using a modal for videos instead of the router if you want to overlay it on top of multiple states. If you stick with using the router, you might want to define videos as a child state of both home and portfolio instead of defining three states at the same level.

Modify JHipster generate code for login page

I generated a project using JHipster And i want to make a few modifications to it. I want the first page to be the login page, a simple one without a header, menu or footer. I saw that in the generated code the components are added from index.
<page-ribbon></page-ribbon>
<div ui-view="navbar" ng-cloak></div>
<div class="container">
<div class="well" ui-view="content">
<!-- Angular views -->
</div>
<div class="footer" ng-cloak>
<p data-translate="footer">This is your footer</p>
</div>
</div>
I don't know what is the best way to modify this to show the login page at first is user isn't logged in. If the user is logged in I want to show the home page of the application
Thanks.
the quickest fix available to solve your problem, is just to open "src/main/webapp/app/home/home.state.js" and add the ROLE_USER authority to data.authorities, like
$stateProvider.state('home', {
parent: 'app',
url: '/',
data: {
authorities: ['ROLE_USER']
},
views: {
'content#': {
templateUrl: 'app/home/home.html',
controller: 'HomeController',
controllerAs: 'vm'
}
},
...
This will automatically route yourself to "accessdenied", but automatically opens the login dialog
a better solution would be to add a login ui to the homeview, if not authenticated, or just to upgrade the login components to a own route.

Updating url on transition from child to parent state in UI router

I have an Angular (1.2.1) app running UI-router (0.2.13), and the following state structure:
$stateProvider.state('home', {
template: "<div home></div>",
url: '/'
}).state('home.geo', {
url:'/geo/{geo}'
}
Transitioning from parent to child or between children with different {geo} parameter values works as expected. Transitioning from child to parent works - i.e. the contents of the template and $state.current change as expected - but the URL does not update in the browser.
To be clear, an example: I'm in /geo/california and I click a button with ui-sref='home'. I've confirmed that the correct href='#/' has been placed on the button, and clicking it causes the $state to transition back to the home state, but /geo/california remains in my address bar.
What am I missing here?
Update in respose to #UlukBiy's comment: No, home does not have a ui-view in its template. The ui-view is in the template of it's parent: The overall structure is:
<body>
<div app-nav></div>
<div ui-view></div>
</body>
So the home directive gets inserted into the ui-view, but it contains no ui-views of its own. Is that my problem? I'm new to UI-router, and assumed there was some low-level misunderstanding about the role of states vs. directives when I posted this. If so, please help me correct it.
This scenario should be working. There is a working example (click the blue button right-top to run example in separate window, showing the address bar)
I updated your state def a bit:
$stateProvider
.state('home', {
url: "/",
template: 'Home view <hr /> Geo view: <div ui-view></div>',
})
.state('home.geo', {
url:'^/geo/{geo}',
templateUrl: 'tpl.html',
})
All these links do work as expected:
<a href="#/home">
<a href="#/geo/california">
<a href="#/geo/czechia">
<a ui-sref="home">
<a ui-sref="home.geo({geo:'california'})">
<a ui-sref="home.geo({geo:'czech'})">
So, the most important change here is that for a child state we should use this url:
url:'^/geo/{geo}',
instead of the url:'/geo/{geo}'. Check the doc:
Absolute Routes (^)
If you want to have absolute url matching, then you need to prefix your url string with a special symbol '^'.

ui-route not redirecting to external page

From a modal dialog I present a general terms link that should redirect the user to a new page.
I would like to re-use my layout skeleton (background, logo ans basic styles) for the terms page, without the content of the master page (eg. search function, navigation etc). To achieve this I try to inject into a new window the terms template inside the ui-view="main" used for the normal site content (where is loaded the content of the modal dialog, as instance), but I get the error Could not resolve 'terms' from state 'login' (login is the current state where the modal dialog is).
Below the termsPage module with the ui-router state I would like to load:
angular.module('termsPage').config(function ($stateProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('terms', {
url: '/terms',
views: {
'main': {
controller: 'TermsCtrl as Terms',
templateUrl: '/modules/staticPages/views/termsPage.html'
}
}
});
});
My index.html file:
<!-- Other tags excluded for sake of semplicity -->
<body ng-app="myApp">
<!-- Here I inject all the content -->
<div id="wrapper" ui-view="main">
</div>
Below the app module and view, where the content of the application is correctly loaded. Also the modal dialog from which I would like to redirect to the external page is loaded here.
angular.module('app').config(function($stateProvider){
$stateProvider
.state('app', {
url: '/app',
views:{
'main' : {
controller : 'AppCtrl',
templateUrl: 'modules/app/views/app.html'
}
}
});
});
Below app.html:
<div id="container">
<div class="browser">
<div class="content" ui-view="content" style="position:relative;">
</div>
My goal would be to create a sibling of app.html, injecting in main placeholder the content of my general terms page. Inside the modal dialog controller I use $state.go for the redirection:
$state.go('terms');
In my case the problem was that I did not registered the new module ('termsPage') as dependency in my main module:
angular.module('myApp', ['login','forms','termsPage'], function($urlRouterProvider){ ...}
Now that the module is registered, I can navigate correctly to state 'terms'.
Hopefully the case above might help someone else, getting hints for his/her case.

ionic - ion-nav-view not working

I am building a ionic pacakage, having multiple views. I use the route provider to navigate between different views.
app.js
.config(function($routeProvider,$locationProvider){
$routeProvider
.when('/search',
{
controller : 'MyController',
templateUrl : 'partials/search.html'
})
.when('/not-found/:className',
{
controller : 'MyController',
templateUrl : 'partials/not-found.html'
})
My index.html
<body ng-app="MyApp">
<ng-view></ng-view>
</body>
</html>
The problem is that the back button on my phone does not work.i.e it does not remember the history.
e.g If I go from search.html to not-found.html, when I press the back button on my phone, I expect it to come back to search.html instead it closes my app.
I looked and ionic forum and the suggest way to make back button work is to use ion-nav-view. If I replace ng-view with ion-nav-view, the search/not-found page are not rendering, I even tried adding the ion-view on the search/not-found html page.
1) Could you please suggest a way to get my back button working?
In order to achieve that, you actually need to capture the hardware back button pressed event and perform the navigation accordingly or You can use ion-nav-back-button..
Capture the hardware back button event :
$ionicPlatform.registerBackButtonAction(function () {
if (condition) {
navigator.app.exitApp();
} else {
// handle back action!
}
}, 100);
More Details can be found here
Using ion-nav-back-button
<ion-nav-bar>
<ion-nav-back-button class="button-clear">
<i class="ion-arrow-left-c"></i> Back
</ion-nav-back-button>
</ion-nav-bar>
More Details about this can be found here
registerBackButtonAction is already handled as part of ion-nav-back-button as part of the ng-click attribute within the ion-nav-back-button definition: buttonEle.setAttribute('ng-click', '$ionicGoBack()') , since $ionicGoBack executes $ionicHistory.goBack() which in turn handles the hardware back button. A simple change to use state configuration should work fine as below:
angular
.module('app', ['ionic'])
.config(function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('search', {
url: '/search',
controller : 'MyController',
templateUrl : 'partials/search.html'
})
.state('not-found', {
url: `/not-found/:className',
controller : 'MyController',
templateUrl : 'partials/not-found.html'
});
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/search');
});
HTML:
<body ng-app="app">
<ion-nav-bar>
<ion-nav-back-button></ion-nav-back-button>
</ion-nav-bar>
<ion-nav-view></ion-nav-view>
</body>
</html>

using ng-view for hightly dynamic content?

I'm working on a website that allows you to search for different products, for example laptops. This is my index div:
<div class="content" id="main">
<div id="search-wrap">
<div id="logo"><h1>seach</h1></div>
<form id="search">
<input type="text" placeholder="Search " autofocus ng-model="query"/>
</form>
<div style="border: solid 1px blue" ng-show="query">
<ul ng-repeat="x in [] | range:10">
{{ query }}
</ul>
</div>
</div>
I have not yet implemented angular js on this but I'm thinking about how to do it. I'm not sure how to approach this, since its a complex site. Once a user searches for something, they will get results from a product. Will i have to create a different ng-view?
I'm just going by something i read online:
A page gets one ng-view. Assuming you have a single page application, this means you get one view. Use it wisely. Give some thought to what should be in the view. Is this your main content window or is this more of a navigation? Is the actual content (HTML) of this section highly dynamic? These are important decisions to make early in the development of your application if you have more than one distinct content area on your page.
Sorry if my question doesn't make sense, just not sure what to ask. Any tips will help.
thanks
You better try using ng-view and you would get more idea how it works.
There can be one ng-view in a page and it is tightly integrated with the url. When you change urls in browser, effective you are loading a different view into the ng-view area. These are configured using the $routeProvider.
ng-view is like the central content theme\area. Other views including sub-views for the main view and left nav, top nav footer is loaded using ng-include directive which has capability to compile and load any html chunk from server or locally.
For complex routing needs please have a look at ui-router which supports nested views.
For complex view you can try something like this
$stateProvider
.state('login', {
url: '/login',
controller: 'LoginController',
templateUrl: 'login.tpl.html',
access: 0
})
.state('multiple view', {
url: '/main',
access: 1,
views: {
'#': {
templateUrl: 'view1.tpl.html',
controller: 'view1Controller'
},
'page#dashboard': {
templateUrl: 'page.tpl.html',
controller: 'pageController'
}
}
})
