I'm running the Angular 2 beta.0 and I'm messing around with routing. Here's what I have
AppComponent:
import {Component, provide} from 'angular2/core';
import {bootstrap} from 'angular2/platform/browser';
import {FORM_DIRECTIVES, CORE_DIRECTIVES} from 'angular2/common';
import {Http, Response, HTTP_PROVIDERS} from 'angular2/http';
import {RouteConfig, Location, LocationStrategy, HashLocationStrategy, ROUTER_DIRECTIVES, ROUTER_PROVIDERS} from 'angular2/router';
import {HomeComponent} from './components/home';
import {RowsComponent} from './components/rows';
import {ColumnsComponent} from './components/columns';
import {TableComponent} from './components/table';
@Component({
selector: 'app',
directives: [FORM_DIRECTIVES, CORE_DIRECTIVES, ROUTER_DIRECTIVES],
templateUrl: '/app/views/root.html',
providers: [ROUTER_PROVIDERS]
})
@RouteConfig([
{path:'/', name: 'Home', component: HomeComponent},
{path:'Rows', name: 'Rows', component: RowsComponent},
{path:'Columns', name: 'Columns', component: ColumnsComponent},
{path:'Table', name: 'Table', component: TableComponent}
])
class AppComponent {
public title = 'Responsive Layout';
public SelectedTab = 'Home';
constructor(location: Location) {
//location.go('Rows');
}
}
bootstrap(AppComponent, [
ROUTER_PROVIDERS,
provide(LocationStrategy, {useClass: HashLocationStrategy})
]);
Every tutorial and API reference seems to point to me doing it just like I have above. I also have <base href="/app/" />
in the head of my index.html. Here are my RouterLinks
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li [class.active]="SelectedTab=='Home'"><a [routerLink]="['Home']" (click)="SelectedTab='Home'">Home</a></li>
<li [class.active]="SelectedTab=='Rows'"><a [routerLink]="['Rows']" (click)="SelectedTab='Rows'">Rows</a></li>
<li [class.active]="SelectedTab=='Columns'"><a [routerLink]="['Columns']" (click)="SelectedTab='Columns'">Columns</a></li>
<li [class.active]="SelectedTab=='Table'"><a [routerLink]="['Table']" (click)="SelectedTab='Table'">Table</a></li>
</ul>
The routing behaves like it should. I get no errors. When I click on one of these entries in the bootstrap nav-bar I see that the views have switched out and are showing the proper templates and that their Components have run and are being bound to. However, despite using HashLocationStrategy
in my bootstrap(...)
call, the URLs are still "HTML5 Style": localhost:8080/app/Rows
when it should be localhost:8080/app/#/Rows
.
I believe I need to use the old # based way if I want my users to be able to bookmark a particular view and come back to it. If I allow for /app/Rows
then refreshing the page causes a 404 because Rows
doesn't exist in the app
folder.
