I'm setting $rootScope.pageLoading = 1
in the router config like this:
.state('app', {
abstract: true,
url: '',
templateUrl: 'tpl/app.html',
resolve: {
loading: function($rootScope){
$rootScope.pageLoading = 1;
}
},
controller: 'AppCtrl'
})
And in the top level of the document, I have a spinner:
<!-- page loading -->
<div id="page-loading" ng-show="pageLoading">
<small-spinner class="spinner fa-spin"></small-spinner>
</div>
When a page loads, I cancel the spinner inside the page's controller, like this:
angular
.module('app')
.controller('FilesController', FilesController);
FilesController.$inject = ['$scope', 'Bolt', '$rootScope']
function FilesController($scope, Bolt, $rootScope){
activate();
function activate() {
var contenttype = 'files';
var order = 'title';
var limit = 500;
var page = 1;
return Bolt.getRecords(contenttype, order, limit, page)
.then(function(data){
$rootScope.pageLoading = 0;
});
}
}
This works fine only when the page is refreshed, i.e. it doesn't work on a simple state change, even though all states are child states of 'app'. What I was going for is that the $rootScope.pageLoading variable is reset whenever a change of state occurs. What am I doing wrong here?
