change an angularjs nested template at run time

I have a template which is nested inside another template which I want to load when i click on a button.
So the nested template is loaded dynamically. This is what I have done so far.
This is the main body.html (this loads when a url is provided in the browser e.g. http://url#/newtemplate)
<div ui-view> </div>
Other section of the code has been removed for brevity
This is the new_template.html which I expects it to show when I click a button.
When I put a template name directly like below i.e. when I hard code it
<div ui-view="number1"></div>
It loads the template fully.
This is the dynamic model
<button ng-model="template_name" ng-value="number1">Button1</button>
<div ui-view="{{template_name}}"></div>
{{template_name}}
The above does not load the template as I expected. but it shows the string number1 when
the button is clicked
What can I do for it to load the template....
This is my controller
.state('parent',{
url: '/newtemplate',
views:{
'':{
templateUrl: "parent.tpl",
contoller:"controller",
},
'number1#parent':{
templateUrl:"number1.tpl",
contoller:"formcontroller"
},
'number2#parent':{
templateUrl:"number2.tpl",
contoller:"formcontroller"
},
'number3#parent':{
templateUrl:"number3.tpl",
contoller:"formcontroller"
}
}
})
Strange enough when I used the dot notation it did not work so I have to use the absolute naming method.
I also noticed that when I added the nested views as shown above the time it takes before the template gets loaded take a very long time.
Please I would appreciate any help which can allow me to load a nested view at runtime (possibly very fast)
Expecting more answer
I still hope that the I can make use of ui-view/ui-router because of the ability to make use of controller.

I'm not sure you can use uiView to load html dynamically.
I would try another possible solutions:
Use directives
Using ngInclude
I'll leave you an example with ngInclude: https://next.plnkr.co/edit/M5hl71mXdAGth2TE?open=lib%2Fscript.js&deferRun=1&preview

After using $sce.trustAsHtml, ng-click not working

I am trying to print to the screen custom html using angular. I am using $sce.trustAsHtml in combination with ng-bind-html to accomplish this. The goal is not only to be able to print this custom html, but that it will retain directives such as ng-click and they will be usuable. Examples I have seen in articles such as follows are promising:
AngularJS render HTML within double curly brace notation
However in my implementation I find that although the html renders correctly including references to ng-click, the directive doesn't seem to work anymore when trying to click on the link I am using it on; here is some sample code:
$scope.htmlExpression = $sce.trustAsHtml("<a ng-click='test();'>Click Me</a>");
$scope.test = function() {
console.log('Hello World!');
}
<div>
<p ng-bind-html="htmlExpression"></p>
</div>
As everything renders fine and nothing appears lost in translation when analyzing the source; I am left feeling as if I have left something out. Any help is appreciated.

Use https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngSanitize and bind the html. If this does not work, $digest to reboot the digest cycle.

AngularJS custom directive loosing root properties

I have created a sidebar custom directive. It's working properly as it loads on where it should. What isn't working properly are the tags. Their supposed behavior is that of a drowpdown, where when clicked they show their inner elements. It works properly when the code is pasted directly but not when the directive is called with the code inside the other html file. I took 2 screenshots to show the difference between using a class="page-sidebar" inside the file that contains the html code of the directive and using it on the "root" file:
It's pretty clear that several properties on the highlighted lines are not being applied on the first one.
Please help as I need this as a "partial" view to be used across several pages.
EDIT: Directive code:
app.directive('sidebar', function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
templateUrl: "/app/views/sidebar.html"
};
});
EDIT2:
Adding this in the post because it might be confusing from how I explained it:
I see where the confusion might be but they're different things. < sidebar > is a directive created by me. class="page-sidebar" is from the template I'm using and is what formats everything to its place. I tried to insert the class="page-sidebar" into the directive to see if it would work, but they're different things.
EDIT3:
To clear up the confusion, I hope: both pics show the sidebar is working. I know it's an element and as such I'm using < sidebar >, it's working, this is not the problem. The problem is when I use it, the contents such as Dropdowns (as shown in the second pic) don't work when I click them, while when the element contents are simply pasted into the index.html and not in the sidebar.html, it works.
EDIT4:
Found the issue but still no solution. I changed some stuff up and instead of the sidebar it's now on the widgets. Sidebar is now always loaded and it's the page contents which are loaded depending on the URL. This helped me track down the issue:
$(".owl-carousel").owlCarousel({mouseDrag: false, touchDrag: true, slideSpeed: 300, paginationSpeed: 400, singleItem: true, navigation: false,autoPlay: true});
The previous code is in a plugins.js file which is included in the html. For some reason, this line is NOT being run when the page is loaded. When I ran this line in the chrome console, the proper widget appeared.
For some reason, the js contents are not being run when the page loads.

Your main problem is the restrict: 'E',, which is restricting it to elements. This explains why it works for <sidebar>, but not for <div class="sidebar">. If you want to use classes, you need to change it to restrict: 'C'.
Another problem is that when you are trying to use the directive as a class, you are using class="page-sidebar" rather than class="sidebar".
See the docs for directives.

From angular documentation:
The restrict option is typically set to:
'A' - only matches attribute name
'E' - only matches element name
'C' - only matches class name
'M' - only matches comment
These restrictions can all be combined as needed:
'AEC' - matches either attribute or element or class name

The directive definition object for your sidebar quite clearly states that it will treat a DOM node with the tag name sidebar to render the directive template due to the restrict : 'E' property.
So use the directive as an HTML node, and NOT in a class (as it would require the property restrict to be set to C letter).
<sidebar></sidebar>

Dynamically arranged html components the angular way [duplicate]

I'm making an in game UI using awesomium, at some points the game loads up and executes a chunk of javascript which is meant to create arbitrary new UI elements. e.g.
jQuery(document.body).append('<span class="game-status-alert">You Lose!</span>');
That works nicely, the problem comes when I want to create some slightly more advanced UI elements, specifically using angular. For example something like:
function ChatBoxControl($scope) { /* Stuff */ }
jQuery(document.body).append(
'<div ng-controller="ChatBoxControl"><div ng-repeat="line in chat"><span>{{line}}</span></div></div>'
);
Not surprisingly, this does not create a new angular view. It simply adds that html to the document and never binds to the ChatBoxControl.
How can I achieve what I'm trying to do here?

You should $compile dynamically added angular content.
Something like:
jQuery(document.body).append(
$compile(
'<div ng-controller="ChatBoxControl"><div ng-repeat="line in chat"><span>{{line}}</span></div></div>'
)(scope)
);
scope for any element you can get using something like:
var scope = angular.element('#dynamicContent').scope();
Also you should get $compile that can be injected in other controller.
See also: AngularJS + JQuery : How to get dynamic content working in angularjs

You might want to use ng-include combined with ng-repeat.
Here is an simple example: http://plunker.no.de/edit/IxB3wO?live=preview
<div ng-repeat="dom in domList" ng-include="dom"></div>
Parent $scope will keep the list of partials loaded into the view.
And ng-repeat + ng-include will iterate over and display partials according
to the list.
When it is the right timing, you can append the partial into the dom list. e.g.
$scope.domList.push("chatbox.html");
(BTW, putting DOM manipulation into controller is not the angular way.)

DOJO Custom Dialog Box - does not parse template file

I am new to DOJO. I have a custom widget , which uses a template file for the dialog box contents.
I am extending dijit.Dialog in the script file.
dojo.declare(
"custom.credentials",
[dijit._WidgetBase, dijit._Templated,dijit._WidgetsInTemplateMixin,**dijit.Dialog**],
{
templatePath: dojo.moduleUrl("custom", "templates/credentials.html"),
....
....
postCreate: function() {
this.inherited(arguments);
alert(this.containerNode);
alert(this.mainDIV);
},
});
My Template test file looks like this
<div data-dojo-attach-point="mainDIV">
Login Dialog Box template here
</div>
For some reason, when I alert on this.mainDIV, I get 'undefined'. It does not read the template file. Also, this.containerNode gives me 'HTMLDIVElement', (parent dijit dialog DIV).
I am not able to figure out after a lot of trial error where exactly the issue is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Calling code
function opnPop(){
var pop= dijit.byId("customPopup");
pop.show();
}
<div dojoType="custom.credentials" id="customPopup"/>
Note : *When dijit.Dialog is not extended* it reads the template file without any problem, I.e, I am able to access this.mainDIV.innerHTML , that contains my own inner html contents.
Thank you.

If Dialog has to be sub-classed, then it must be the base class. Here, it seems that it is used as a mixin. Anyways, the problem is with the template that is used.
The template will be parsed and used by the code in Dialog. So, the template mentioned here has nothing but a div element with an attach point. There is no "containerNode" element (ie. attach point) and you are trying to access it in your js code, which will give error.
More important, the "titleBar" & "titleNode" elements are also missing form template, which will give errors while parsing the template. In order to avoid that, the code part that uses these elements need to be removed from js, to avoid error. So the widget creation will be successful. Try with the standard dijit.Dialog's template.
Add the data-dojo-attach-point="mainDIV" to the top level Dialog's div in the template.
In template, more things can be added, which won't cause any issues. But, if removed anything, will cause problem. If we are sub-classing a class/widget, we need to comply to the existing code.
