####Finally a de-facto solution to nested views and routing.
- We recommend the latest beta 0.0.2 (Guide and Docs are already updated to 0.0.2): Build the Project Locally
- Last release 0.0.1: Compressed / Uncompressed
Warning: UI-Router is in active development. The API is highly subject to change. It is not recommended to use this library on projects that require guaranteed stability.
To evolve the concept of an angularjs route into a more general concept of a state for managing complex application UI states.
- Robust State Management
$stateand$stateProvider
- More Powerful Views
ui-viewdirective (used in place ofng-view)
- Nested Views
load templates that contain nested
ui-views as deep as you'd like.
- Routing
States can map to URLs (though it's not required)
- Named Views
<div ui-view="chart">
- Multiple Parallel Views
<div ui-view="chart1">
<div ui-view="chart2">
Basically, do whatever you want with states and routes.
Note: Quick Starts, Guide and API Ref are pre-updated for v0.0.2 release.
- Get ui-router:
- with bower:
bower install angular-ui-router- fork this repo
- download the latest release (compressed | uncompressed)
- Add angular-ui-router.min.js to your index.html
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="myapp">
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.6/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="angular-ui-router.min.js"></script> <!-- Insert after main angular.js file -->- Set
ui.routeras a dependency in your module. Note: Useui.stateif using v0.0.1.
var myapp = angular.module('myapp', ['ui.router'])The great majority of ui-router's power is its ability to nest states & views.
-
Follow Setup instructions above.
-
Add a
ui-viewto your app.
<!-- index.html -->
<body>
<div ui-view></div>
<!-- Also a way to navigate -->
<a href="#/route1">Route 1</a>
<a href="#/route2">Route 2</a>
</body>- Add some templates. These will plug into the
ui-viewwithin index.html. Notice that they have their ownui-viewas well! That is the key to nesting states and views.
<!-- route1.html -->
<h1>Route 1</h1>
<hr/>
<a href="#/route1/list">Show List</a>
<div ui-view></div><!-- route2.html -->
<h1>Route 2</h1>
<hr/>
<a href="#/route2/list">Show List</a>
<div ui-view></div>- Add some child templates. These will get plugged into the
ui-viewof their parent state templates.
<!-- route1.list.html -->
<h3>List of Route 1 Items</h3>
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="item in items">{{item}}</li>
</ul><!-- route2.list.html -->
<h3>List of Route 2 Things</h3>
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="thing in things">{{thing}}</li>
</ul>- Now let's wire it all up. Set up your states in the module config:
myapp.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider){
//
// For any unmatched url, send to /route1
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/route1")
//
// Now set up the states
$stateProvider
.state('route1', {
url: "/route1",
templateUrl: "route1.html"
})
.state('route1.list', {
url: "/list",
templateUrl: "route1.list.html",
controller: function($scope){
$scope.items = ["A", "List", "Of", "Items"];
}
})
.state('route2', {
url: "/route2",
templateUrl: "route2.html"
})
.state('route2.list', {
url: "/list",
templateUrl: "route2.list.html",
controller: function($scope){
$scope.things = ["A", "Set", "Of", "Things"];
}
})
})- See this quick start example in action.
- This only scratches the surface! You've only seen Nested Views.
Another handy feature is the ability to have more than one view per template. Please note: 95% of the time Nested States & Views is the pattern you'll be looking for, opposed to using multiple views per template.
-
Follow Setup instructions above.
-
Add one or more
ui-viewto your app, give them names.
<!-- index.html -->
<body>
<div ui-view="viewA"></div>
<div ui-view="viewB"></div>
<!-- Also a way to navigate -->
<a href="#/route1">Route 1</a>
<a href="#/route2">Route 2</a>
</body>- Set up your states in the module config:
myapp.config(function($stateProvider){
$stateProvider
.state('index', {
url: "", // root route
views: {
"viewA": {
templateUrl: "index.viewA.html"
},
"viewB": {
templateUrl: "index.viewB.html"
}
}
})
.state('route1', {
url: "/route1",
views: {
"viewA": {
templateUrl: "route1.viewA.html"
},
"viewB": {
templateUrl: "route1.viewB.html"
}
}
})
.state('route2', {
url: "/route2",
views: {
"viewA": {
templateUrl: "route2.viewA.html"
},
"viewB": {
templateUrl: "route2.viewB.html"
}
}
})
})- See this quick start example in action.
- This only scratches the surface! You've only seen Named Views and Parallel Views.
UI-Router uses grunt >= 0.4.x make sure to upgrade your environment and read the
Migration Guide.
Dependencies for building from source and running tests:
- grunt-cli - run:
$ npm install -g grunt-cli - Then install development dependencies with:
$ npm install
There is a number of targets in the gruntfile that is used to building the solution, documents etc.
grunt: Perform a normal build, runs jshint and karma testsgrunt build: Perform a normal buildgrunt dist: Perform a clean build and generate documentationgrunt dev: Run dev server (sample app) and watch for changes, builds and runs karma tests on changes.
