wikiApp.config(['$routeProvider','authService',
function($routeProvider,authService) {
var admin = authService.getLoggedin();
$routeProvider
.when('/hjem',{
templateUrl: 'partials/homeContent.html',
admin: false
})
.when('/articles/:article',{
templateUrl: 'partials/articles.html',
admin: false
})
.when('/newArticle',{
templateUrl: 'partials/postArticle.html',
controller: 'articleController',
admin: true
})
The authService.getLoggedin() returns either false or true depending on if the user is logged in or not. Then i would like to not allow them to the Url if they are not allowed.
But i get this error:
Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module wikiApp due to:
[$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: authService
During the configuration phase you can only ask for providers ($routeProvider, $locationProvider etc.) it means you cannot inject any other instance, so I would suggest injecting your service in the run phase, there your will have an instance of your service.
// configuration
app.config(function($routeProvider) {
});
//inject any instance
app.run(function($rootScope,authService) {
var admin = authService.getLoggedin();
$rootScope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function(next, current) {
// your logic here...
});
});
- angular.config only accepts Providers
- every service, factory etc are instances of Provider
So to inject a service in config you just need to call the Provider of the service by adding 'Provider' to it's name.
angular.module('myApp')
.service('FooService', function(){
//...etc
})
.config(function(FooServiceProvider){
//...etc
});
If you want to call an external function (in your case Service function) form your routes (.config) as shown below: templateProvider.getTemplate('about')
.state('index.about', {
url: "/about",
templateUrl: templateProvider.getTemplate('about'),
controller: 'AboutCtrl',
controllerAs: 'about',
data: {pageTitle: 'About Us Page'}
})
you cannot create a Service or Factory for that. Instead you must create a Provider.
Here’s a real example of a Provider that generates the template path from the name:
(function () {
'use strict';
angular
.module('mega-app')
.provider('template', provider);
function provider(CONSTANT) {
// The provider must include a $get() method This $get() method
// will be invoked using $injector.invoke() and can therefore use
// dependency-injection.
this.$get = function () {
return {}
};
/**
* generates template path from it's name
*
* @param name
* @returns {string}
*/
this.getTemplate = function (name) {
return CONSTANT.TEMPLATES_URL + name + '/' + name + '.html';
}
/**
* generates component path from it's name
* @param name
* @returns {string}
*/
this.getComponent = function (name) {
return CONSTANT.COMPONENTS_URL + name + '.html';
}
};
})();
The usage of such Provider in the routes (.config) will be as follow:
(function () {
'use strict';
angular
.module('mega-app')
.config(routes);
function routes($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider, templateProvider) {
$stateProvider
//----------------------------------------------------------------
// First State
//----------------------------------------------------------------
.state('index', {
abstract: true,
url: "/index",
templateUrl: templateProvider.getComponent('content'),
controller: 'IndexCtrl',
controllerAs: 'index',
})
//----------------------------------------------------------------
// State
//----------------------------------------------------------------
.state('index.home', {
url: "/home",
templateUrl: templateProvider.getTemplate('home'),
controller: 'HomeCtrl',
controllerAs: 'home',
data: {pageTitle: 'Home Page'}
})
//----------------------------------------------------------------
// State
//----------------------------------------------------------------
.state('index.about', {
url: "/about",
templateUrl: templateProvider.getTemplate('about'),
controller: 'AboutCtrl',
controllerAs: 'about',
data: {pageTitle: 'About Us Page'}
})
//----------------------------------------------------------------
// Default State
//----------------------------------------------------------------
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/index/home');
};
})();
VIP Note:
to inject the provider you must postfix it with xxxProvider (that name of the provider should not be postfixed, only on injection in the .config).
