I'm building a desktop application with node-webkit and angular. I have been using version 1.0.7 of angular, but I need to update to take advantage of improvements to the framework. Unfortunately, the new ngRoute module doesn't seem to be working properly whereas I had no problems with routing previously.
Using the angular-seed boilerplate as an example, when the app loads up it shows view1, but clicking on the links for view1 and view2 has seemingly no effect. I have verified it works fine when served as a webpage in a browser, but in the node-webkit environment it fails.
I did discover that if I comment out the otherwise option for $routeProvider that the address bar shows index.html#/C:/view1 instead of app/index.html#/view1, and of course then neither view1 nor view2 is shown, and clicking on the view1 and view2 links still has no effect. It seems that the links are possibly being interpreted incorrectly? If so, how should they be formatted? I've played around with a bunch of combinations to no effect.
app.js
'use strict';
// Declare app level module which depends on filters, and services
angular.module('myApp', [
'ngRoute',
'myApp.filters',
'myApp.services',
'myApp.directives',
'myApp.controllers'
]).
config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/view1', {templateUrl: 'partials/partial1.html', controller: 'MyCtrl1'});
$routeProvider.when('/view2', {templateUrl: 'partials/partial2.html', controller: 'MyCtrl2'});
$routeProvider.otherwise({redirectTo: '/view1'});
}]);
index.html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>My AngularJS App</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/app.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<ul class="menu">
<li>view1</li>
<li>view2</li>
</ul>
<div ng-view></div>
<div>Angular seed app: v<span app-version></span></div>
<!-- In production use:

I got it to work. I used the same strategy used in the Angular documentation to make the ngRoute example code work in plunkr. I can't say I exactly understand why it didn't work using the stock angular-seed configuration. If anyone has insight, I'd like to hear it.
The modified index.html and app.js files should look like this:
app.js
'use strict';
// Declare app level module which depends on filters, and services
angular.module('myApp', [
'ngRoute',
'myApp.filters',
'myApp.services',
'myApp.directives',
'myApp.controllers'
]).
config(['$routeProvider', '$locationProvider', function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/view1', {templateUrl: 'partials/partial1.html', controller: 'MyCtrl1'});
$routeProvider.when('/view2', {templateUrl: 'partials/partial2.html', controller: 'MyCtrl2'});
$routeProvider.otherwise({redirectTo: '/view1'});
// configure html5 to get links working on node-webkit
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
}]);
index.html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>My AngularJS App</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/app.css"/>
<script src="lib/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script src="lib/angular/angular-route.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//this is here to make node-webkit work with AngularJS routing
angular.element(document.getElementsByTagName('head')).append(angular.element('<base href="' + window.location.pathname + '" />'));
</script>
</head>
<body>
<ul class="menu">
<li>view1</li>
<li>view2</li>
</ul>
<div ng-view></div>
<div>Angular seed app: v<span app-version></span></div>
<!-- In production use:

<script src="js/controllers.js"></script>
<script src="js/filters.js"></script>
<script src="js/directives.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Note that in this mode, index.html is no longer part of the URL, so if you reload, nw tries to reload a file that doesn't exist (e.g. /path/to/app/view1). You need to manually update it to /path/to/app/index.html. It would be nice if you could make nw go back to the main page on reload, but I so far don't see an option for making that happen.
Late breaking news: It was due to a bug in Angular 1.2.0, which has since been resolved. The angular-seed simply has not yet been updated to the most recent version.

I am learning and experimenting with multiple views and routing. For this reason, I have written three files test.html, controllers.js, and app.js. When I run the application, ideally the view1 should display the message and view2 should display date time. But it is just displaying two tabs as view 1 and view 2 and the message and dates are not being displayed. I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong.
My test.html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>AngularJS Routing</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/app.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<ul class="menu">
<li>view1</li>
<li>view2</li>
</ul>
<div ng-view></div>
<script src="lib/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script src="lib/angular/angular-route.js"></script>
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
<script src="js/controllers.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
my app.js
'use strict';
angular.module('myApp',['myApp.controllers','ngRoute']);
angular.module('myApp').config(function($routeProvider){
$routeProvider.when('/view1',{
controller: 'Controller1',
templateUrl: 'partials/view1.html'
}).when('/view2',{
controller: 'Controller2',
templateUrl: 'partials/view2.html'
});
});
my controllers.js
'use strict';
angular.module('myApp.controllers',[]).
controller('Controller1',function($scope){
$scope.message="Hello, world";
}).controller('Controller2',function($scope){
$scope.now=new Date();
});
Kindly let me know where I am doing wrong.
Load your controller.js ahead of app.js since the module myApp is dependent on the myApp.controllers
<script src="js/controllers.js"></script>
<script src="js/app.js"></script>

I am trying to build an app with RatchetJS (the mobile framework, not the websocket server, ie. goratchet.com !!) and AngularJS (v1.5.8). My question relates to project organization, routing and page loading.
What should handle routing if i want ratchet transitions to play nicely with angular js routing and controllers ? Here is what i have so far.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="Application">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>MyApplication</title>
<base href="/">
<!-- Sets initial viewport load and disables zooming -->
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
<!-- Makes your prototype chrome-less once bookmarked to your phone's home screen -->
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black">
<!-- Include the compiled Ratchet CSS -->
<link href="css/ratchet.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- <link href="css/ratchet-theme-ios.css" rel="stylesheet"> -->
<!-- <link href="css/ratchet-theme-android.css" rel="stylesheet"> -->
<!-- Include the compiled Ratchet JS -->
<script src="js/ratchet.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/angular-route.min.js"></script>
<script src="app/app.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="view" ng-view></div>
</body>
</html>
The angular JS app file.
'use strict';
(function() {
var Application = angular.module('Application', ['ngRoute']);
Application.config(['$routeProvider', '$locationProvider', function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
controller: 'DefaultController',
templateUrl: 'pages/home.html',
})
.when('/pages/chat.html', {
controller: 'ChatController',
templateUrl: '/pages/chat.html',
})
.otherwise({ redirectUrl: '/' })
;
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
}]);
Application.controller('DefaultController', ['$scope', '$route', function($scope, $route) {
$scope.title = "Grettings";
}]);
Application.controller('ChatController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.title = "Chat view";
}]);
})();
There are also two files in /pages/... folder (home.html and chat.html). The home.html contains a link looking like:
<a data-ignore="push" href="/pages/chat.html">Go to chat</a>
If i use data-ignore="push" the page gets loaded, but by angular (so no ratchet transitions. Without it, of course, the page gets loaded by Ratchet but AngularJS does not catch the route and the controller is never called...
Providing i want to use ratchet for transitions. How should i handle my architecture / routing ?
Ratchet is not meant for transitions or what you are refering to.
It is meant as a WebSocket for PHP the problem that you are having is clientside pageloading, so try adding more information about your angular install.
Writing a very simple angular js app to learn routes and partials. The problem is that my would just not load the partial template at all.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="website">
<head>
<title>Hello World, AngularJS</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.7/angular.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.7/angular-route.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/website.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li><a href='/'>Home</a></li>
<li><a href='/login'>Login</a></li>
<li><a href='/about'>About</a></li>
</ul>
<ng-view></ng-view>
</body>
</html>
website.js
angular.module('website', ['ngRoute']).
config(function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider.
when('/about', {templateUrl: 'partials/about.html'}).
when('/login', {templateUrl: 'partials/login.html'}).
otherwise({redirectTo:'/'});
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true)
});
When I load index.html, it shows the links. When I click on one of the them, or go manually to #/about, it should load the contents of the template inside ng-view, but it doesn't.
The about.html and login.html are just two files with a single tag in them with Hello World text. What am I missing? I was earlier not including angular-route.js, but fixing that didn't work.
My directory structure goes like this:
views
--js
--website.js
--views
--index.html
--partials
--about.html
--login.html
The network says that it did GET about, but brings me back to index.html without anything in ng-view
I am just starting study Angular and trying example from book, but my simple routing doesn't work.
I have updated code as was recommended in the answers
Here is index.html:
<html ng-app="airline">
<head>
<title>Demo</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lib/angular.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lib/angular-route.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lib/angular-resource.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/app.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/controllers/app.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container" ng-controller="AppCtrl">
<h1>AngulAir</h1>
<div ng-view></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Here is app.js:
angular.module('airline', ['ngRoute'])
.config(airlineRouter);
function airlineRouter ($routeProvider) {
info('1');
$routeProvider
.when('/', {template: '<h3>test</h3>'})
};
When I refresh the page I don't have 'test' in the browser and don't have alert message. Why ? What I am missing ?
Update
Here is a full code example: https://github.com/demas/ang_test
Latest angular library use external router so you need to inject ngRoute and pass it as:
angular.module('airline', ['ngRoute'])
You are missing ngRoute directive. Download ng-route.js file and reference it in your HTML like;
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lib/angular-route.js"></script>
And change your app.js like
angular.module('airline', ['ngRoute'])
.config(airlineRouter);
function airlineRouter ($routeProvider) {
info('1');
$routeProvider
.when('/', {template: '<h3>test</h3>'})
};
I am having issues trying to show a partial html on my index.html file (Nothing is displayed).
Please see my index.html code:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>My AngularJS App</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/app.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/animations.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
<script src="js/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="lib/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script src="lib/angular/angular-animate.js"></script>
<script src="lib/angular/angular-route.js"></script>
<script src="lib/angular/angular-resource.js"></script>
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
<script src="js/animations.js"></script>
<script src="js/services.js"></script>
<script src="js/controllers.js"></script>
<script src="js/filters.js"></script>
<script src="js/directives.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<li>
Show People
</li>
<div ng-view></div>
</body>
</html>
Then I try to load people.html that is on partials directory, using routing on app.js:
'use strict';
// Declare app level module which depends on filters, and services
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute', 'filters', 'services', 'directives', 'controllers']);
myApp.config(['$routeProvider',
function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/people', {
templateUrl : 'patials/people.html',
controller : 'PeopleController'
}).otherwise({
redirectTo : '/people'
});
}]);
If I replace the ng-view part on my index.html with my template file content, everything displays fine, so I dont think I have an issue on my controller declarations.
Can you take a look and help me figuring out what's wrong?
Thanks!
You are using var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []); inside your controller. If you add an array as a second parameter in angular.module, the module is automatically created as a new one and overrides the previous one with the same name, so the config is not working anymore, because in your code it is defined on a different module.
Just change the code in the PeopleController definition from
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
to
var myApp = angular.module('myApp');
and it should work
