Angular ui.router Reload Template

First of all, I'm sorry for a long question, but it just has to be like that. Unfortunately...
I have a couple of templates and a couple of routing logic, all linked in separate files. For some reason the template I want to load (which depends on the region selected), doesn't load its region template. It loads, if I click it second time. Please note I have tried ever solution from this topic:
Reloading current state - refresh data
Nothing worked for me.
I have managed to resolve one (another region) of them by placing "{reload:true}" inline in the html code, like this:
<a data-ui-sref="uk-web" data-ui-sref-opts="{reload:true}">Energy Consultant</a>
Now I did the same for another template and it is not working. This is my html:
<div class="btn us-btn" data-ng-controller="carCtrlUs">
<script type="text/ng-template" id="careersTplUs.html">
<div class="closer">
<span class="close-me" data-ng-click="ok()">X</span>
</div>
<uib-accordion close-others="true">
<div uib-accordion-group class="modal-body modone panel-default pull-right" is-open="false">
<uib-accordion-heading>
<p class="car-heading">Sales Department <i class="pull-right glyphicon" ng-class="{'glyphicon-chevron-down': status.open, 'glyphicon-chevron-right': !status.open}"></i>
</p>
</uib-accordion-heading>
<ul>
<li><a data-ui-sref="us-web" data-ui-sref-opts="{reload:true}">Energy Consultant</a></li>
<li><a data-ui-sref="us-crm" data-ui-sref-opts="{reload:true}">Client Relationship Manager</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="modal-body modtwo panel-default pull-right" uib-accordion-group is-open="false">
<uib-accordion-heading>
<p class="car-heading">Marketing Department <i class="pull-right glyphicon" ng-class="{'glyphicon-chevron-down': status.open, 'glyphicon-chevron-right': !status.open}"></i>
</p>
</uib-accordion-heading>
<ul>
<li><a data-ui-sref="us-web" data-ui-sref-opts="{reload:true}">Web Developer</a></li>
<li><a data-ui-sref="us-crm" data-ui-sref-opts="{reload:true}">Marketing Coordinator</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</uib-accordion>
<div class="show-me" ui-view></div>
</script>
<button class="btn" ng-click="open()" data-ui-sref="us-intro">United States</button>
</div>
app.js:
var app = angular.module('carApp', ['ngAnimate', 'ngSanitize', 'ui.bootstrap', 'ui.router']);
controller, for this template:
app.controller('carCtrlUs', function($scope, $http, $uibModal) {
$http.get('json/jobs-us.json').then(function(response) {
$scope.placeholder = response.data.default;
$scope.specs = response.data.specs;
$scope.open = function() {
var modalContent = $uibModal.open({
templateUrl: 'careersTplUs.html',
controller : 'modalContentCtrlUs',
controllerAs: '$ctrl',
size: 'lg',
backdropClass: 'backdropOver',
openedClass: 'modal-opened',
resolve: {
items: function() { return $scope.specs; },
items2: function() { return $scope.placeholder;}
}
})
console.log($scope.placeholder);
console.log($scope.specs);
console.log($scope.specs.web-dev);
}
});
});
app.controller('modalContentCtrlUs', function($scope, $uibModalInstance, items, items2) {
$scope.specs = items;
$scope.placeholder = items2;
$scope.ok = function() {
$uibModalInstance.close();
}
});
factory.js:
app.config(['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider', function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state("us-intro", {
url:"/intro",
templateUrl: "templates/us/start.html"
})
$stateProvider
.state("us-web", {
url: "/web-developer/",
templateUrl: "templates/us/web-developer.html",
})
.state("us-crm", {
url: "/crm/",
templateUrl: "templates/us/crm.html"
})
/*next .state*/
}]);
Template:
<div ng-repeat="(k, v) in specs.webdev">
<h3>{{::v["job-title"]}}</h3>
<p>{{::v["job-body"]}}</p>
United States Apply Here:
<p>{{::v["job-apply"]}}</p>
</div>
As you can see I'm using ui-bootstrap (modal and accordion, since it is all in a modal window).
What can I do to make it refresh instantly? I'm stuck for days on this and it is frustrating... What am I doing wrong here?
EDIT: Please note that I know "::" is for one-way data binding. I've tried without it and the result is the same. I can probably resolve this by placing the data in question in the .json file, but that would really be an ugly hack.

<div ng-repeat="(k, v) in specs.webdev">
<h3>{{::v["job-title"]}}</h3>
<p>{{::v["job-body"]}}</p>
United States Apply Here:
<p>{{::v["job-apply"]}}</p>
</div>
The "::" avoid data binding to reduce digest cycle. Try to remove them.

<a data-ui-sref="uk-web" data-ui-sref-opts="{reload:true}">Energy Consultant</a>
// it should be
<a data-ui-sref="us-web" data-ui-sref-opts="{reload:true}">Energy Consultant</a>

I have solved this..What I wanted to do is to make the "URL" the same. I have changed the url to manifest the region by the region code, so it is working now.
For example:
UK:
$stateProvider
.state("de-web", {
url: "/web-developer-de",
templateUrl: "templates/de/web-developer.html",
})
.state("de-crm", {
url: "/crm-de",
templateUrl: "templates/de/crm.html"
})
Italy:
$stateProvider
.state("it-web", {
url: "/web-developer-it",
templateUrl: "templates/it/web-developer.html",
})
.state("it-crm", {
url: "/crm-it",
templateUrl: "templates/it/crm.html"
})
United States:
$stateProvider
.state("us-web", {
url: "/web-developer-us",
templateUrl: "templates/de/web-developer.html",
})
.state("us-crm", {
url: "/crm-us",
templateUrl: "templates/de/crm.html"
})
Although this works, I'm not happy. How can it be achieved that the templates are being loaded into the same url?

Web Page not Anchoring in Angular

I am attempting to have the page go to a div section of the page based on what they click. I have the div for each section id'd with the proper tag. I have done a test where I can load the page and type url.com/services#insertidhere and it will go to the correct location. The issue is when I try to implement it in the state it won't go to the location. It just goes to the page normally even though the URL shown is correct.
HTML Index Snippet
<div ng-repeat="x in blue.services">
<div class="wrapIMG">
<img src="{{x.icon}}" />
<img class="clone" src="{{x.icon}}" />
</div>
<h4>{{x.title}}</h4>
<hr/>
<p>{{x.text}}</p>
<a ui-sref="services({id: x.title})" class="button2">About This</a>
</div>
myapp.js Snippet
app.config(function($stateProvider){
$stateProvider
.state('index', {
url:"/",
templateUrl: 'main.html',
data: {
cssId: 'home'
}
})
.state('services', {
url: "/services/#:id",
templateUrl: 'services.html',
data: {
cssId: 'services'
}
})
});
Services HTML Snippet
<section class="no-padding" style="" id="[id equal to x.title]"> ...</section>
<section class="no-padding" style="" id="[id equal to x.title]"> ...</section>
<section class="no-padding" style="" id="[id equal to x.title]"> ...</section>
I believe the issue has to be with .state URL but it shows correctly in the URL but it just isn't going to the location.

Angular uses the # in URLs for page routing (so do many other SPA frameworks).
To anchor the link to a specific id on a page, use the $anchorScroll service.
Example:
<div id="scrollArea" ng-controller="ScrollController">
<a ng-click="gotoBottom()">Go to bottom</a>
<a id="bottom"></a> You're at the bottom!
</div>
<script>
angular.module('anchorScrollExample', [])
.controller('ScrollController', ['$scope', '$location', '$anchorScroll',
function($scope, $location, $anchorScroll) {
$scope.gotoBottom = function() {
// set the location.hash to the id of
// the element you wish to scroll to.
$location.hash('bottom');
// call $anchorScroll()
$anchorScroll();
};
}]);
</script>

$scope.toPage = function(){$state.go('index');}
Did you try this?

sharing data between templates in angular, how to?

I have 2 template, in 1st template I use the function and after its successful implementation,i want to get data in a 2nd template. How can I do it? Both template using the same controller
My 1st template:
<form ng-submot='vm.search(q)' class="header-search">
<input class="header-search-input" ng-model='q' placeholder="Search">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default ic-search" aria-label="Left Align" ng-click='vm.search(q)'>
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search" aria-hidden="true"></span>
</button>
</form>
My 2nd template:
<h3>Результат поиска по запросу: {{q}}</h3>
<ul ng-repeat='item in items'>
<li>{{item.name}}</li>
</ul>
controller:
(function() {
'use strict';
angular
.module('beo.layout.controllers')
.controller('NavbarController', NavbarController);
NavbarController.$inject = ['$scope', '$http', '$location'];
function NavbarController($scope, $http, $location) {
var vm = this;
vm.logout = logout;
vm.search = search;
function search(q) {
$http.post('/api/v1/search/', {
q: q
}).success(function(data) {
$location.path('/search/')
$scope.q = q;
$scope.items = data;
})
}
})();

I would suggest you use cache for best practice. While you are using two templates and when you load your another template it's also going to reload your controller. If you are done with your search in first template then you can save result in cache and then when you redirect to template then just look into that if there is any result then just show it.

Setting $scope equal to the value of the input field should allow you to pass the data from the 1st template to the 2nd template.

Use ng-if to switch between two piece of HTMl snippets. By the way, template is a special term in Angular, indicating something like template in a directive.
For example:
<div ng-if="!items">
<form ng-submot='vm.search(q)' class="header-search">
<input class="header-search-input" ng-model='q' placeholder="Search">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default ic-search" aria-label="Left Align" ng-click='vm.search(q)'>
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search" aria-hidden="true"></span>
</button>
</form>
</div>
<div ng-if="items">
<h3>Результат поиска по запросу: {{q}}</h3>
<ul ng-repeat='item in items'>
<li>{{item.name}}</li>
</ul>
</div>
After you have retrived the data successfully, i.e., the variable items is true, Angular will switch to the 2nd template for you.
NOTE: you are using vm (this) and $scope on the controller at them same time, which is not encouraged.

To do it "The angular way" you should use directives. Within directives you can require controllers of other directives so you can share data as you need. An example is here: How to require a controller in an angularjs directive

You can get data after a user clicks on the search button, in your code i.e. through vm.search function in the controller which should be used to get data through an api call check this below example.
angular
.module('demo', [])
.controller('DefaultController', DefaultController);
function DefaultController() {
var vm = this;
vm.items = [];
vm.search = search;
function search(searchTerm) {
// perform ajax call and set data here on vm.items property
vm.items = data;
}
}
var data = [
{ name: 'Audi' },
{ name: 'Lamborghini' },
{ name: 'Jaguar' }
];
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="demo">
<div ng-controller="DefaultController as ctrl">
<form name="searchForm" novalidate="novalidate" ng-submit="searchForm.$valid && ctrl.search(ctrl.searchTerm)">
<label for="searchBox">Search</label>
<input type="text" name="searchBox" ng-model="ctrl.searchTerm" ng-required="true">
<button ng-click="isSubmitted = true">Submit</button>
<span style="color: red;" ng-show="isSubmitted && searchForm.searchBox.$invalid">Search term is required</span>
</form>
<label ng-show="ctrl.items.length">Items matching your search</label>
<div ng-repeat="item in ctrl.items">
{{item.name}}
</div>
</div>
</div>

ng-repeat throwing invalid Expression

I'm a total angular noob and trying to create a simple test app where. I'd like to read out some userdata in a partial. The user data is in my event controller. I assign the event controller to a form in my new.html partial after navigating to #/new via a route controller.
The error I get when trying to loop through the users in my partial is "Error: ngRepeat:iexp Invalid Expression". I can't figure out how to ng-repeat through those users.
Any thoughts?
My index.html:
<div class="container" style="width: 500px; margin: 0 auto;">
<ul class="nav nav-pills" ng-controller="NavigationController as navigationCtrl">
<li ng-class="{active: navigationCtrl.isActive(1)}">
Home
</li>
<li ng-class="{active: navigationCtrl.isActive(2)}">
Nieuw
</li>
<li ng-class="{active: navigationCtrl.isActive(3)}">
Nog een
</li>
</ul>
<div ng-view></div>
</div>
My new.html partial
<form action="" ng-controller="EventController as event">
<div ng-repeat="users as user">
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name" ng-model="user.name">
<br>
<label>Emailaddress</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" name="email" ng-model="user.email">
<br>
<input class="btn btn-default" type="submit" ng-click="event.addEvent($event)" value="Klik">
</div>
</form>
And last: My angular code
(function () {
var app = angular.module('testApp', ['ngRoute']);
app.controller('NavigationController', ['$scope', '$route', function ($scope, $route) {
$scope.$route = $route;
this.activeTab = 1;
this.setActiveTab = function (tab) {
this.activeTab = tab;
};
this.isActive = function (tab) {
if ($route.current && $route.current.activeTab) {
return $route.current.activeTab === tab;
}
return false;
};
}]);
app.controller('EventController', ['$scope', '$controller', function ($scope, $controller) {
this.users = [
{name: 'aa'},
{name: 'bb'}
];
this.addEvent = function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
console.log(this);
};
}]);
app.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.
when('/new', {
templateUrl: 'partials/new.html',
controller: 'NavigationController',
activeTab: 2
}).
when('/another', {
templateUrl: 'partials/another.html',
controller: 'NavigationController',
activeTab: 3
}).
otherwise({
redirectTo: '/',
controller: 'NavigationController',
activeTab: 1
});
}]);
})();
I've tried changing this for $scope to no avail.

You write ng-repeat in wrong way in your new.html partial page
it should be like
new.html
<div ng-repeat="user in users">

Correct syntax for ng-repeat is
<element ng-repeat="item in [1,2,3]">
Also you can use things like track by $index if you have duplicated values in your collection like [1,1,1].
Ref. https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngRepeat

There are few issues in your code. Please change all this references to $scope and then quickly fix below html code:
<div ng-repeat="user in users">
It should work but update me otherwise also.
Working demo for your reference (route codes excluded for demo purpose only)
thanks,
Ashok

you have not written ng-repeat in right way change it to:
<div ng-repeat="user in users">

ionic collection-repeat working navigation not working on click

I am new to ionic and angular.js. I download this ionic collection repeat and navigation example from http://codepen.io/ionic/pen/mypxez. The initial example was working perfect with single index.html and index.js files. I tried to separate the code in controller, service, app.js and in the HTML files. I can see the collections but I am not able to see the details and navigate it. Here is the HTML file to show all collection which works:
<ion-view title="Home">
<ion-header-bar class="bar-subheader item-input-inset">
<label class="item-input-wrapper">
<i class="icon ion-ios7-search placeholder-icon"></i>
<input type="search" placeholder="Search" ng-model="filter">
</label>
</ion-header-bar>
<ion-nav-buttons side="right">
<a class="button" ng-click="scrollBottom()">
Scroll To Bottom
</a>
</ion-nav-buttons>
<ion-content>
<div class="list">
<a class="item my-item item-thumbnail-left"
collection-repeat="pet in pets | filter:filter"
collection-item-height="90" collection-item-width="'100%'"
ui-sref="tab.detail({petsId: pet.id })">
<img ng-src="http://placekitten.com/60/{{55 + ($index % 10)}}">
<h2>{{pet.firstName}}</h2>
<p>{{pet.id}}</p>
</a>
</div>
</ion-content>
</ion-view>
Here is the code of app.js:
.state('tab.dash', {
url: '/dash',
views: {
'tab-dash': {
templateUrl: 'templates/tab-dash.html',
controller: 'DashCtrl'
}
}
})
.state('tab.detail', {
url: "/detail/:petsId",
views: {
'main': {
controller:'DetailCtrl',
templateUrl: "templates/question-detail.html"
}
}
})
Here is the code of the controller which never get called:
.controller('DetailCtrl', function($scope, $stateParams, PetService) {
$scope.pet = PetService.get($stateParams.petsId);
})
...and the question-detail.html code:
<ion-view title="{{pet.id}}">
<ion-content class="padding">
{{pet.id}}
{{pet.firstName}}
</ion-content>
</ion-view>
I can view the collection and can search but I am not able to see the details by clicking them. I can see the url (http://localhost:8100/#/tab/detail/2) if i click on item 2 but i am not able to see the question- detail.html page.

Considering you are very new to this framework, or angularJS itself. I am just going to answer the question without saying anything else, but for future, please go through docs first.
<ion-view title="{{pet.id}}">
<ion-content class="padding">
{{pet.id}}
{{pet.firstName}}
</ion-content>
</ion-view>

Thanks karan for your prompt answer.. I changed two things and the
code is working now:
the html file where i declared the anchor tag. I changed the ui-sref
to href:
<div class="list">
<a class="item my-item item-thumbnail-left"
collection-repeat="pet in pets | filter:filter"
collection-item-height="90"
collection-item-width="'100%'" href="#/tab/detail/{{pet.id}}">
<img ng-src="http://placekitten.com/60/{{55 + ($index % 10)}}">
<h2>{{pet.firstName}}</h2>
<p>{{pet.id}}</p>
</a>
</div>
my app.js file
.state('tab.detail', {
url: '/detail/:petsId',
views: {
'tab-chats': {
templateUrl: 'templates/question-detail.html',
controller:'DetailCtrl'
}
}
})
