AngularJS Views

AngularJS Views

AngularJS supports Single Page Application via multiple views on a single page. To do this,AngularJS has provided ng-view and ng-template directives, and $routeProvider services.

ng-view Directive

The ng-view directive simply creates a place holder where a corresponding view (HTML orng-template view) can be placed based on the configuration.

Usage

Define a div with ng-view within the main module.

<div ng-app="mainApp">

...

   <div ng-view></div>

 

</div>   

ng-template Directive

The ng-template directive is used to create an HTML view using script tag. It contains id attribute which is used by $routeProvider to map a view with a controller.

Usage

Define a script block with type as ng-template within the main module.

<div ng-app="mainApp">

...

   <script type="text/ng-template" id="addStudent.htm">

      <h2> Add Student </h2>

         {{message}}

   </script>

 

</div>   

$routeProvider Service

The $routeProvider is a key service which sets the configuration of URLs, maps them with the corresponding HTML page or ng-template, and attaches a controller with the same.

Usage 1

Define a script block with type as ng-template within the main module.

<div ng-app="mainApp">

...

   <script type="text/ng-template" id="addStudent.htm">

      <h2> Add Student </h2>

         {{message}}

   </script>

 

</div>   

Usage 2

Define a script block with main module and set the routing configuration.

 var mainApp =angular.module("mainApp", ['ngRoute']);

     

     mainApp.config(['$routeProvider',

         function($routeProvider) {

            $routeProvider.

               when('/addStudent', {

                  templateUrl: 'addStudent.htm',

                  controller: 'AddStudentController'

               }).

               when('/viewStudents', {

                  templateUrl: 'viewStudents.htm',

                  controller: 'ViewStudentsController'

               }).

               otherwise({

                  redirectTo: '/addStudent'

               });

         }]);

   

The following points are important to be considered in the above example:

$routeProvider is defined as a function under config of mainApp module using key as '$routeProvider'.

$routeProvider.when defines a URL "/addStudent", which is mapped to "addStudent.htm". addStudent.htm should be present in the same path as main HTML page. If the HTML page is not defined, then ng-template needs to be used with id="addStudent.htm". We usedng-template.

"otherwise" is used to set the default view.

"controller" is used to set the corresponding controller for the view.

Example

The following example shows the use of all the above-mentioned directives.

   <div ng-app="mainApp">

      <p><a href="#viewStudents">View Students</a></p>

      <div ng-view></div>

      <script type="text/ng-template" id="addStudent.htm">

         <h2> Add Student </h2>

         {{message}}

      <script type="text/ng-template" id="viewStudents.htm">

         <h2> View Students </h2>       

         {{message}}

      </script>

   </div>

 

   <script>

      var mainApp =angular.module("mainApp", ['ngRoute']);

     

     mainApp.config(['$routeProvider',

         function($routeProvider) {

            $routeProvider.

               when('/addStudent', {

                  templateUrl: 'addStudent.htm',

                  controller: 'AddStudentController'

               }).

               when('/viewStudents', {

                  templateUrl: 'viewStudents.htm',

                  controller: 'ViewStudentsController'

               }).

               otherwise({

                  redirectTo: '/addStudent'

               });

         }]);

 

        mainApp.controller('AddStudentController', function($scope) {

            $scope.message = "This page will be used to display add student form";

         });

 

        mainApp.controller('ViewStudentsController', function($scope) {

            $scope.message = "This page will be used to display all the students";

         });

   </script>

</body>

</html>

Output

Open the file testAngularJS.htm in a web browser and see the result.
