AngularJS locationProvider Routing - javascript

I'm very new to Angular and I'm currently building a few test/dummy apps to get my head around the way it works and become more-familiar with SPA's in Angular. However, I've stumbled into an issue when I start adding routes to my application and loading the content via ng-view
$locationProvider doesn't seem to be working correctly because if I go to localhost/sdfsdf then I get cannot GET /sdfsdf when in reality the page should be redirecting to /cocktails.
routes.js
var cocktailApp = angular.module('cocktailApp', ['ngRoute', 'cocktailControllers']);
cocktailApp.config(['$routeProvider', '$locationProvider', function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/cocktails', {
templateUrl: '/partials/cocktail-list.html',
controller: 'cocktailsController'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/cocktails'
});
$locationProvider.html5mode(true);
}]);

Angular only recognizes anchor URL syntax for URLs pasted directly on the browser. So you have to you try http://localhost/#/sdfsdf instead to make your routing work. Please note that anchor syntax /# was added in previous URL.

Unwanted hash '#' in url, using $routeProvider in angularjs

When I'm starting my application the following url is opened: http://localhost:8080/#/. What I'm trying to do is to open this url: http://localhost:8080/ when the application is loaded, but I'm not able to achieve this.
I'm using AngularJS and $routeProvider to load content based on url. I'm quite not sure how it works and documentation is not clear to me. This is the code:
'use strict';
angular.module('login', ['login.filters', 'login.services', 'login.directives', 'login.controllers']).
config(['$routeProvider', function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/', {templateUrl: 'partials/partial1.html', controller: 'MyCtrl1'});
$routeProvider.otherwise({redirectTo: '/'});
}]);
Can you help me spot unwanted '#' ?
Angular will load pages dynamically and stores/reads the current page from in the url after the # symbol.
You could try enabled html5 mode for location

Laravel 5 and AngularJS removing '#' from url

Im at the moment building an application where i want my urls to be like my-domain.com/ instead of my-domain.com/#/. Because I'm building an SPA with AngularJS, I enabled the html5Mode of the $locationProvider.
However, when i go to another page like my-domain.com/test (defined in my $routeProvider config), I get laravel's error page. This is not what i want because i want AngularJS to handle this route.
I looked around and found things like
App::missing(function($exception)
{
return view('client/index');
});
which sadly dont work in Laravel 5. After researching the new way to handle errors, I decided to test the new Exception Handler, so in my App\Exceptions\Handler.php I did this:
public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
return view('client/index');
}
Unfortunately, this also doesnt work because now it renders a blank page...
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Here is my code of my angular ngroute config:
client.config(['$routeProvider', '$locationProvider', function($routeProvider, $locationProvider){
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: '/client_partials/Homepage.html'
})
.when('/test', {
templateUrl: '/client_partials/Homepage.html'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo : '/'
});
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
$locationProvider.hashPrefix('!');
}]);
Here is the route:
Route::any('{path?}', function()
{
return File::get(public_path() . '/angular.html');
})->where("path", ".+");

Routing error in AngularJS

What's wrong with this AngularJS configuration code?
(function () {
var ip = 'x.x.x.x';
var app = angular.module('cmal', ['controllers', 'directives', 'services', 'ngRoute'])
.constant("baseUrl", "http://" + ip + ":303/angular")
.config( function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
$routeProvider.when('/', { templateUrl: "index.html"});
$routeProvider.when('/users', { templateUrl: "users.html"});
$routeProvider.otherwise({template: "Sorry, the page you are trying to reach doesn't exist."});
});
})();
EDIT: it's not the slash error. This still doesn't work for me and all i get in the console is "Uncaught object"
EDIT 2: Well i didn't realize you needed to import another js script for routing. But so now that I have done that, I get no error, but none of the routes work.
You are probably not including the separate angular-route script.
Take a look at this answer for more details.
This isn't really an answer, but an alternative solution...I used a separate routing framework.

AngularJS relative url routing issue

I have my backend web framework loading my AngularJS app with following URL
http://localhost/New/Alpha/App
I also have it set up so that anything after App will still load the same thing
http://localhost/New/Alpha/App/home
http://localhost/New/Alpha/App/settings
...
I'm trying to make my AngularJS app to work in the way that it would pick up the bit of URL after App and load a controller/template accordingly. I have a problem with routing in my AngularJS app though
var main = angular.module("main", ["ui.bootstrap", "ngRoute"]);
main.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when("home", {
templateUrl: "assets/tpl/home.html",
controller: "mainController"
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: "fail"
});
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});
main.controller("mainController", function($scope) {
console.log("home")
});
If I try this URL
http://localhost/New/Alpha/App/home
it changes the URL to
http://localhost/fail
instead of leaving the URL as it is and loading the template/controller. If however I change the config and give it a full relative URL it does work as supposed to
.when("/New/Alpha/App/home", {
templateUrl: "assets/tpl/home.html",
controller: "mainController"
})
My problem is, that the part of URL before App - /New/Alpha cannot be hardcoded in. It could be /New/Beta, /New/Gamma, etc.
Is what I want to do possible at all without hardcoding the full relative URL match?
UPDATE Sorry, forgot to mention that the number of URL segments before App can change, as in it could be /New/Beta/App and it also could be /New/Another/Beta/App. I don't suppose something like */App or /New/*/App is possible instead of /New/:placeholder/App?
Will this work for you?
var main = angular.module("main", ["ui.bootstrap", "ngRoute"]);
main.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when("/New/:greek/App/home", {
templateUrl: "assets/tpl/home.html",
controller: "mainController"
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: "fail"
});
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});
main.controller("mainController", function($scope) {
console.log("home")
});
You could then retrieve the greek with $routeParams.greek from within your controller.
The general solution to this problem is to have the server pass the app URL to your client-side code. In other words, use server-side code to dynamically write the equivalent of the following on the page:
var appUrl = '/New/Alpha/App';
Then setting up the route provider becomes:
main.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when(appUrl + "/home", {
templateUrl: "/assets/tpl/home.html",
controller: "mainController"
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: appUrl + "/fail"
});
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});
That way the knowledge of the application base URL lives in one place — server-side (which makes sense as only the server is in a position to truly know, if you think about it).
In your specific case, if the application base URL is implicit in the URL structure, you could calculate the following client-side:
var appUrl = window.location.pathname.match(/^\/New\/.*\/App/);
Needs work, but you get the idea. Then you can set up the route provider exactly as above.

Cordova + AngularJs routing not working

We are using Cordova/Phonegap with AngularJs and trying to use routing; the routing isn't working, it's not changing view, and is coming up with the below error in the console:
Failed to load webpage with error: The requested URL was not found on this server.
Our routing controller is:
var app = angular
.module('myApp', [])
.config(function ($routeProvider, $compileProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'index.html'
}).when('/HomeScreen/:id', {
templateUrl: 'app/views/homeScreen.html'
}).otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
$compileProvider.urlSanitizationWhitelist(/^\s*(https?|ftp|mailto|file|tel):/);
});
When we change .otherwise({ redirectTo: '/HomeScreen/1'}) it works but then the anchors in index.html with the same href (/HomeScreen/1) don't work.
We have tried Html5 mode and hashbang mode with neither working.
We are using angularjs version 1.0.7.
Most likely the issue is that the #/ is getting some of the browsers confused. This might help:
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
This will use push state to do the navigation instead.
