AngularJS: ngRoute, otherwise not working
I have a really weird bug, I have set my routes and my controllers. Now I have just a blank page with no errors?
index.html;
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="RekenTalent" lang="nl">
<head>
<title>Rekentalent.nl: Ben jij een talent in Rekenen?</title>
<!-- Stylesheets -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/app/front/assets/stylesheets/style.css">
<!-- AngularJS -->
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.2.16/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.2.16/angular-route.min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.2.16/angular-animate.min.js"></script>
<!-- Controllers -->
<script src="/app/front/controllers/controller.js"></script>
<!-- Router -->
<script src="/app/front/router.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-view></body>
</html

Controller.js:
/**
* RekenTalent
*
* Copyright 2014 - Rekentalent.nl
*/
var RekenTalent = angular.module('RekenTalentControllers', []);
RekenTalent.controller('rekenCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope){
}]);
Router.js:
var RekenTalent = angular.module('RekenTalent', [
'ngRoute', 'RekenTalentControllers'
]);
RekenTalent.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.
when('/index', {
templateUrl: '/templates/index.html',
controller: 'rekenCtrl'
}).
otherwise({
redirect: '/index'
});
}]);
And /templates/index.html says just 'hi'. Does anyone know why I get a blank page? It should redirect me to /index.html and /index.html should use /templates/index.html as the template. Whats the problem and the fix?
UPDATE:
when I go to /index it works, so the otherwise param doesn`t work, why not?
Answer
change redirect to redirectTo
And it's better to use home.template to avoid all this kind of problems, I mean consider:
You have an index.html that contains your whole included scripts, like angular, jquery , ..., and in the body tag there is ng-view, ok?
Now, if you have any templates such as welcome or whatever for index, write that template in a home.html, OK? Like this:
index.html :
<body ng-app="yourapp">
<div ng-view>
</div>
</body>
Home.html
<div>
Welcome, user. This is index.
</div>
Your app configuration:
yourapp.config(function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'partials/home.html',
controller: 'homeCtrl'
})
.otherwise({redirectTo:'/'});
}
And it is a good practice to put all of your templates inside a partials folder, where the father folder contains index.html like this
root
yourAppFolder
1-Assets
Css
Js
2-Partials
home.html
login.html
3-index.html
