Angular and Express routing

Question

I\'ve been through many Angular-express seeds and kind of worked out how they work. The problem I am having is: 1). I would like to use ejs-locals for temp

Answer 1

That's how I did it. I'm using Jade, but Ejs will be similar:

app.js

// Routes
app.get('/', routes.index);
app.get('/partials/:name', routes.partials);

My templates are stored in /views/partials:

app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');

Clientside you can now use angular's $routeProvider to load the partials:

/*global define */

define([
   'angular',
   'controllers/aController',
   'controllers/bController'],
   function (angular, aController, bController) {
    'use strict';

    return angular.module('controllers', [], ['$controllerProvider', '$routeProvider',
        function ($controllerProvider, $routeProvider) {
            $controllerProvider.register('AController', ['$scope', aController]);
            $controllerProvider.register('BController', ['$scope', bController]);
            // routes
            $routeProvider.when('/A', {templateUrl: 'partials/A', controller: aController});
            $routeProvider.when('/B', {templateUrl: 'partials/B', controller: bController});
            $routeProvider.otherwise({redirectTo: '/A'});
        }]);
    }
);
