Angular.js - Prevent Direct Access to Partial Views
angularjs
Solution
Well, not really.
At the end of a day a browser needs to be able to access a partial to download it. If a browser can do this your users will be able to do so as well. You might eventually make it a bit harder for them to hit partials directly (for example to by configuring your server so it only responds to request with a certain header and configure `$http` to send this header on each XHR request).
The other possibility is to pre-load partials up-front as described here and not expose them via HTTP at all (actually this is a good practice for production deployments anyway).
Otherwise it is hard to propose a meaningful solution without knowing what is the exact problem (functionally speaking) that you are trying to solve.
Problem
I want the users to not be able to view the partials directly when accessing their url in the browser. For example if my partial view is located in: ``` /partials/myPartial.html ``` I can still directly access it and see the odd markup. Is there a way to prevent it and make the partial views only available through angular? Thanks.
