I Have 2 differents AngularJs modules : a widgetContainer and a widget.
A widget can be displayed as an independant application or be included into a widgetContainer. A widgetContainer contains 0-N widgets.
If i try to boostrap the widget module into the widgetContainer, angular throw the following error :
Error: [ng:btstrpd] App already bootstrapped with this element '<div id="childApp">' http://errors.angularjs.org/1.5.8/ng/btstrpd?p0=%26lt%3Bdiv%20id%3D%22childApp%22%26gt%3B
I have reproduce this error in this plunk
<div id="parentApp">
<div ng-controller="MainParentCtrl">
Hello {{name}} !
<div id="childApp">
<div ng-controller="MainChildCtrl">
Hello {{childName}} !
</div>
</div>
</div>
EDIT :
Using Dependency injection solve the problem efficiently.
Now, I need to load the widget from a directive.
parentApp.directive('widget', [function() {
return {
restrict: 'E',
link: function($scope, $element, $attr) {
var div = document.createElement('div');
div.setAttribute("ng-controller", "MainChildCtrl");
div.innerHTML = 'Hello {{childName}} !';
$element.append(angular.element(div));
}
};
}]);
The div is created but the childApp module is not loaded inside. I have updated my plunker
To achieve expected result, use below

Syntax for manual bootstrap is as below irrespective of usage of controllers on elements
Don't try to bootstrap both modules. Instead use dependency injection. You only declare one module in your html and you make that module depend upon the other module using angular code. See here: https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/concepts#module
