Using: AngularJS and UI-Router.
I am trying to create a page that has two views: menu
and main
. One is for a menu and the other is for whatever content there may be. However, I do not want to define both views in all states every time. The menu
view will not change too often. So I created a parent 'root' state which contains only the menu
view. The other states then derive from this and add appropriate views.
The code looks like this (in a file app.js
):
angular
.module('Admin', ["ui.router"])
.config(["$stateProvider", function($stateProvider) {
$stateProvider.state('root', {
abstract: true,
views: {
"menu": {
templateUrl: "../static/partials/menu.html",
controller: "MenuController"
}
}
}).state('root.main', {
url: "",
parent: 'root',
views: {
"main": {
templateUrl: "../static/partials/landing.html",
controller: "MainController"
}
}
}).state('root.login', {
url: "/login",
parent: 'root',
views: {
"main": {
templateUrl: "../static/partials/login.html",
controller: "LoginController"
}
}
})
;
}])
.controller('MainController', ["$scope", "$http", mainController])
.controller('MenuController', ["$scope", "$http", menuController])
.controller('LoginController', ["$scope", "$http", loginController])
;
The result is that only the menu
view is displayed. The main
view is not displayed, unless I also add it to the root
state. Anyone know what is wrong?
EDIT
The HTML that contains the views:
<div ng-app="Admin">
<a ui-sref="root.main">Click me</a>
<div class="ui menu" ui-view="menu"></div>
<div class="ui segment">
<div ui-view="main"></div>
</div>
<br>
</div>
<script src="{{ url_for('static', filename='js/menu.js') }}"></script>
<script src="{{ url_for('static', filename='js/main_controllers.js') }}"></script>
<script src="{{ url_for('static', filename='js/app.js') }}"></script>
EDIT 2
There is a similar question here: UI-Router inheriting views, but this does not work for me...

I managed to very simply reproduce this in plnkr: http://plnkr.co/edit/uYlFgsvq8hQHON8EESEx?p=preview
