With angular.js using ui-router, how to only reload one view?
angularjs, javascript
Solution
Based on the voted answer of that question angularjs ui-router - how to build master state which is global across app
app.config(['$stateProvider', function ($stateProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('todo', {
abstract: true,
views: {
"navPanel": {
templateUrl: "./navPanel.html",
controller: 'PanelController'
}
}
})
.state('todo/:item', {
url: "/todo/:item",
views: {
"ContentView@": {
templateUrl: "./content.html",
controller: 'ContentController'
}
}
})
}]);
Problem
I have a fairly simple todo app using angular.js for which I am using the ui-router library. I looked through the ui-router example on github (https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/tree/master/sample) but was unable to figure out what I am doing wrong. In my app I have a sidebar navigation view (with the list of things todo) and a content view (which displays the todo item's details when clicked). The problem I have is that when I navigate to /todo/exampleItem the content view updates and the navigation panel is reloaded as well. This doesn't effect the functionality of the app but I would like to avoid the navigation panel flickering each time you click on an item. Here is my code to handle the state changes: ``` app.config(function ($stateProvider) { $stateProvider .state('todo', { url: "/todo", views: { "navPanel": { templateUrl: "./navPanel.html", controller: 'PanelController' } } }) .state('todo/:item', { url: "/todo/:item", views: { "PanelView": { templateUrl: "./navPanel.html", controller: 'PanelController' }, "ContentView": { templateUrl: "./content.html", controller: 'ContentController' } } }) }); ``` In my index.html my views are set up as follows: ``` <div class="column" data-ui-view="PanelView"></div> <div class="column" data-ui-view="ContentView"></div> ``` Is there some way I can stop the navPanel view from being reloaded each time a new item is clicked?
