AngularJS UI Bootstrap Tabs that support routing

Question

I would like to use AngularJS UI Bootstrap Tabs in my project, but I need it to support routing.

For example:

Tab         URL
--------------------
Jobs       /jobs
Invoices   /invoices
Payments   /payments

As far as I can tell from the source code, the current tabs and pane directives doesn't support routing.

What would be the best way to add routing?

Answer 1

If you have a route called settings and you want to have tabs in that settings page something like this works.

<div class="right-side" align="center">
    <div class="settings-body">
        <ul class="nav nav-tabs">
          <li class="active"><a data-toggle="tab" href="#!/settings#private_email">Private email</a></li>
          <li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#!/settings#signature">Signature</a></li>
          <li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#menu2">Menu 2</a></li>
        </ul>

        <div class="tab-content">
          <div id="private_email" class="tab-pane fade in active">
            <div class="row" ng-controller="SettingsController">
                <div>
                   <button class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="activatePrivateEmail()">Activate email</button>
                   <button class="btn btn-danger">Deactivate email</button>
                </div>
            </div>
          </div>
          <div id="signature" class="tab-pane fade">
              <textarea ui-tinymce="tinymceOptions" ng-model="signature"></textarea>
              <div class="send-btn">
                <button name="send" ng-click="" class="btn btn-primary">Save signature</button>
              </div>
          </div>
          <div id="menu2" class="tab-pane fade">
            <h3>Menu 2</h3>
            <p>Some content in menu 2.</p>
          </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Answer 2

Use data-target="#tab1". Worked for me

Answer 3

I also have this requirement and I'm doing something similar to the answer provided by Chris, but I'm also using AngularUI router, because ngRouter does not support nested views and it is possible you'll have the tabs content view inside another view (I did) and that won't work with ng-view.

Answer 4

To add routing you typically use an ng-view directive. I'm not sure it's easy enough to modify angular UI to support what you're looking for, but here's a plunker showing roughly what i think you're looking for (it's not necessarily the best way of doing it - hopefully someone can give you a better solution or improve on this)
