I am writing a web app using AngularJS. It is not a single page application but all my codes are in one file- index.ejs.
So my set up for index.ejs roughly looks like this:
<head>
<title> Main page </title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-10 col-md-offset-1">
<ui-view></ui-view>
</div>
</div>
<script type = "text/ng-template" id = "/main.html">
.....
</script>
<script type = "text/ng-template" id = "/addStuff.html">
.....
</script>
<script type = "text/ng-template" id = "/searchStuff.html">
.....
</script>
<script type = "text/ng-template" id = "/about.html">
.....
</script>
</body>
I have a title for the main page on top of index.ejs. I would also like to have seperate titles for each page so when they are opened in a new tab, I know which one is which. I have tried doing:
<script type = "text/ng-template" id = "/addStuff.html">
<head>
<title> Add Stuff </title>
</head>
.....
But this doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks.
You should use ui-router. In which case you can add a top level controller on the body or html element, for example <html ng-app="my-app" ng-controller="AppCtrl">
And add a '$stateChangeSuccess' listener whenever a new route is loaded...
.controller('AppCtrl', function AppCtrl($scope) {
$scope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess', function (event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams) {
if (angular.isDefined(toState.data.pageTitle)) {
$scope.pageTitle = toState.data.pageTitle;
}
});
})
Then in the route definition you can add a property called data.pageTitle
$stateProvider.state( 'profile', {
url: '/profile',
views: {
"main": {
controller: 'ProfileCtrl',
templateUrl: 'profile/profile.tpl.html'
}
},
data:{
pageTitle: 'Profile'
}
})
Then in your main index.html file, you can bind the pageTitle attribute:
<title ng-bind="pageTitle"></title>
The most important part is the you move the directive ng-app on the <html> tag if it's not already in there.
Thus all the html page is covered by angular.
Eg:
<html ng-app="app">
...
</html>
Then it's really your choice.
You can use a custom directive to wrap the title, generate a service or just use the {{ }} syntax.
