How have in AngularJS with UI Router, multiple and nested views?

I have been reading about nested views and multiple views but I can't find an example using both
In a landing page I have multiple views, one after other. A picture speaks a thousand words:
To consider:
Every section/view will have full window height, so on scroll I want to change location to /view1, /view2, /view3, etc.
That should be compatible with going to /view1/b or /view3/b and showing subview (view1.b or view3.b).
Scroll should not make load page again.
I have success doing tasks separately but not all together.

you can use $statePorivder nested view with
config(function ($stateProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('main', {
url: '/',
views: {
'': {
templateUrl: 'app/main/layout.html',
controller: 'LayoutController'
},
'header#main': {
templateUrl: 'app/main/header/layout.html',
controller: require("./headerController.js")
},
'left#main': {
templateUrl: 'app/main/left/layout.html',
controller: require("./leftController.js")
},
'content#main': {
templateUrl: 'app/main/content/layout.html',
controller: require("./conentController.js")
},
'right#main': {
templateUrl: 'app/main/right/layout.html',
controller: require("./rightController.js")
}
}
});
};

AngularJS $stateProvider loads parent but not child template

I just started migrating to AngularJS and I'm already having problems with the $stateProvider from the angular-ui/ui-router framework. This is what I have so far:
angular
.module('testApp', ['ui.router'])
.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/index/home");
$stateProvider
.state('index', {
abstract: true,
url: "/index",
template: "parent"
})
.state('index.home', {
url: "/home",
template: "child"
})
})
.controller("MainController", function() {
})
Now, running this script redirects me to http://example.com/#/index/home but it only displays the parent string on the page. The child string is not being shown. From my understanding this should load the first template because we are on the /#/index domain part and then the second because we are on a nested page /#/index/home.
Can someone help me and explain why this is not working as intended?

In your template for the parent you need another <div ui-view></div> in order to render child states.
If you want multiple nested views, you can have multiple ui-view in your parent template. You just have to name them. For example,
parent template:
<h1>parent</h1>
<div ui-view="child1"></div>
<div ui-view="child2"></div>
And you define the child states as follows:
$stateProvider
.state('index', {
abstract: true,
url: "/index",
template: "parent"
})
.state('index.home', {
url: "/home",
views: {
'child1': {
templateURL: "child1.html"
}
}
})
.state('index.home2', {
url: '/home2',
views: {
'child2': {
templateURL: 'child2.html'
}
}
})
*note I used templateURL instead of template. Assuming your app has modular file structure.

Angular.js - ui-router not injecting view

I have a problem with ui-router for angular.js.
I am currently working on a project with angular.js and using ui-router as router.
The problem now is, that I want to have a nested view as like this:
views/settings/index.html (also an previously created template in ui-router)
<div class="settings">
[...]
<div class="settings-content" ui-view="content"></div>
</div>
app.js
$stateProvider.state('settings', {
url: '/settings',
views: {
main: {
templateUrl: 'views/settings/index.html',
controller: 'SettingsController'
},
"content": {
templateUrl: 'views/settings/privacy.html',
controller: 'SettingsController'
}
},
ncyBreadcrumb: { label: 'Settings' }
})
Now the problem I have is, that the defined content template is not injected into the ui-view="content" div. The main content (views/settings/index.html) is loading properly. And in nested states it's also possible to add a template into the ui-view="content" with the same "string": Object.
How does this come?
Thanks in advance!

You must use the viewName#stateName syntax as stated here.
Try this
$stateProvider.state('settings', {
url: '/settings',
views: {
main: {
templateUrl: 'views/settings/index.html',
controller: 'SettingsController'
},
"content#settings": {
templateUrl: 'views/settings/privacy.html',
controller: 'SettingsController'
}
},
ncyBreadcrumb: { label: 'Settings' }
})

I have used the ui-router module in my demo application.
You need to specify the hierarchy in your view.
The parent view is not specified to child view so you must use ViewName#parentState

Angular js ui-router share controller

I want to give 2 parts of my UI the same controller but still let them have each of their own unique controllers.
$stateProvider
.state('standard.page', {
url: '/:page',
resolve: {
page: function($stateParams) {
...
},
},
views: {
'content': {
templateUrl: '/tmpl/page',
controller: 'controllercontent'
},
'sideMenu': {
templateUrl: '/tmpl/menu',
controller: 'controllermenu',
}
}
})
So I want both content and sideMenu to share a controller. If I add a controller above the views then it requires a new template, I want to use the standard template instead of making a unique template for this state. Any ideas how I can get 3 controllers going in this example? Thanks.

I battled with this at some point in time, and I believe I made a template file that isn't directly accessible (via abstract: true). Here's an example...
.state('standard', {
url: '/standard',
abstract: true,
templateUrl: '/tmpl/standard.html',
controller: 'SharedController'
},
})
.state('standard.page', {
url: '/:page',
resolve: {
page: function($stateParams) {
...
},
},
views: {
'content': {
templateUrl: '/tmpl/page',
controller: 'controllercontent'
},
'sideMenu': {
templateUrl: '/tmpl/menu',
controller: 'controllermenu',
}
}
});
In your tmpl/standard.html file, make sure this exists somewhere within the file:
<div ui-view="sideMenu">
<div ui-view="content">
Hope this points you in the right direction.

Stop a common template from being reloaded

I have an Angular application that depends on Angular ui-router. This application has multiple pages which share a common template such as the navbar:
var app = angular.module('app', ['ngSanitize', 'ngResource', 'ngRoute', 'ui.router'])
.config(['$urlRouterProvider', '$stateProvider', ($urlRouterProvider, $stateProvider) => {
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/index");
$stateProvider
.state('index', {
url: "/index",
views: {
'navbar': {
templateUrl: 'Views/Partials/navbar.cshtml',
controller: 'App.Controllers.NavbarController'
},
'content': {
templateUrl: 'Views/index.cshtml',
controller: 'App.Controllers.IndexController'
}
}
})
.state('settings', {
url: "/settings",
views: {
'navbar': {
templateUrl: 'Views/Partials/navbar.cshtml',
controller: 'App.Controllers.NavbarController'
},
'content': {
templateUrl: 'Views/settings.cshtml',
controller: 'App.Controllers.SettingsController'
}
}
});
}]);
Both '/index' and '/settings' share the same template 'Views/Partials/navbar.cshtml'. Upon testing, i found out, that every time a "page" is loaded for an url, all the views in it are reloaded.
Is it possible to avoid reloading the navbar, if it has been previously loaded already?

You should be able to extract the navbar into a parent state of your existing states. This way the navbar only loads when the parent state is entered and you should be able to change child states that share this parent without affecting it.
While there are better organised ways to do this, my quick and dirty way would be to rename the states you have to withnav.index and withnav.settings. Then remove the navbar view from them and add the following state.
$stateProvider
.state('withnav', {
abstract: true,
views: {
'navbar': {
templateUrl: 'Views/Partials/navbar.cshtml',
controller: 'App.Controllers.NavbarController'
}
}
});
