AngularJS Routing using ngRoute Basic example
Example
This example shows setting up a small application with 3 routes, each with it's own view and controller, using the controllerAs syntax.
We configure our router at the angular .config function
- We inject
$routeProviderinto.config - We define our route names at the
.whenmethod with a route definition object. - We supply the
.whenmethod with an object specifying ourtemplateortemplateUrl,controllerandcontrollerAs
app.js
angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute'])
.controller('controllerOne', function() {
this.message = 'Hello world from Controller One!';
})
.controller('controllerTwo', function() {
this.message = 'Hello world from Controller Two!';
})
.controller('controllerThree', function() {
this.message = 'Hello world from Controller Three!';
})
.config(function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/one', {
templateUrl: 'view-one.html',
controller: 'controllerOne',
controllerAs: 'ctrlOne'
})
.when('/two', {
templateUrl: 'view-two.html',
controller: 'controllerTwo',
controllerAs: 'ctrlTwo'
})
.when('/three', {
templateUrl: 'view-three.html',
controller: 'controllerThree',
controllerAs: 'ctrlThree'
})
// redirect to here if no other routes match
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/one'
});
});
Then in our HTML we define our navigation using <a> elements with href, for a route name of helloRoute we will route as <a href="#/helloRoute">My route</a>
We also provide our view with a container and the directive ng-view to inject our routes.
index.html
<div ng-app="myApp">
<nav>
<!-- links to switch routes -->
<a href="#/one">View One</a>
<a href="#/two">View Two</a>
<a href="#/three">View Three</a>
</nav>
<!-- views will be injected here -->
<div ng-view></div>
<!-- templates can live in normal html files -->
<script type="text/ng-template" id="view-one.html">
<h1>{{ctrlOne.message}}</h1>
</script>
<script type="text/ng-template" id="view-two.html">
<h1>{{ctrlTwo.message}}</h1>
</script>
<script type="text/ng-template" id="view-three.html">
<h1>{{ctrlThree.message}}</h1>
</script>
</div>
