I'm using ngRoute
to do the routing of my AngularJS application (myApp) but I have a problem: I don't know how to NOT APPLY my index.html
design (with all my sidebars) to my login.html
page, which seems to be applied by default if it is defined as a view. I want a simple design for my login.html
page: only two fields to fill out, without the design of my index.html
, which is applied to all the views in myApp. Thereby, I don't know how to do my routing to accomplish such task. Thank you very much.
<-- This is a sample of how I do my routing in myApp (for only one view - "/view1") -->
Sample of app.js
:
'use strict';
// Declare app level module which depends on views, and components
angular.module('myApp', [
'ngRoute',
'ngResource',
'ui.bootstrap',
'ngCookies',
'myApp.view1',
])
.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.otherwise({redirectTo: '/view1'});
}]);
For each view there is a .js file associated where I defined its routing and controllers. For instance, for view "/view1" - view1.js
:
'use strict';
angular.module('myApp.view1', ['ngRoute', 'ngResource'])
.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/view1', {
templateUrl: 'view1.html',
controller: 'View1Ctrl'
});
}])
.controller('View1Ctrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
// something
}]);
And a sample of my index.html
:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<script src="view1.js"></script>
<-- MORE SCRIPTS ARE LOADED -->
</head>
<body class="hamburg" ng-controller="MasterCtrl">
<-- SIDEBARS ARE DEFINED -->
<div id="content-wrapper">
<div class="page-content">
<!-- Main Content -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12">
<div class="widget">
<div class="widget-body">
<div ng-view></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
Given the situation above looks like you want two page layout (page design or page template), the first one is now used in
index.html
, and the second one you want to use inlogin.html
which just has two fields to fill out. Soangular-ui/ui-router
(doc url: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/wiki) could be the solution to this issue.The idea behind that is
ui-router
has a very powerful tool namedui-view
which you can see it as a layout or template. So when the path is on any page other than login page like/index
or/home
use oneui-view
, and on/login
page then use another differentui-view
.For a rough example: index.html page:
I assume you will reuse the head part, so just wrap every thing from the body in the original
index.html
and put into the newindex.html
. Same to the login pagelogin.html
.config file:
So what does the code above do is very similar to what you did with
$routeProvider
, it defines on whichurl
use whichcontroller
and to load whichview
.Hope this can help you, if any question let me know please.
In your case you need to load new layout. I understand, for login and for application there is mostly different layout. This operation is equal to redirecting page to new location. With new angular app and controllers for login. You can use:
$window.location.href="new/layout/template"
.Read more @ Angular Dev Docs.
You need to create your login page as a diferente ngApp, store your sesion on the localSotarge in case of a successfull login and then redirect to you main ngApp.
In your main ngApp, validate if a session exists in the localStorage and redirecto to the loginApp if it dont.
I know it sounds a bit like overdoing stuff, but I have not found any other solution in my 3 years working with AngularJS. Now, keep in mind that this is necesary because you need to NOT TO APPLY your index.html, and the only way to do that is using another ngApp.
Routing is used for injecting views in angular SPA. What I get from from your question is you need a login dialog. For that you may look
ngDialog
oruibDialog
