angularjs with cshtml page only not html pages with web api 2

Question

I\'m having asp. net mvc4 project. Angularjs is integrated. I have already built HTML pages and WEB APIs 2 as per previous requirements.

Now for some reason i hav

Answer 1

Well, this is how I use it.

There is index.cshtml like this

@using System.Web.Optimization
@inherits System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage
@{ Layout = null; }


    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

    @Styles.Render("~/Content/min/css")



    


    @Scripts.Render("~/js/angular")
    @Scripts.Render("~/js/MyProject")

NOTE: using angular UI-Router, that's why ui-view is in palce

But still there must be HomeController:

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        // below I do some tricks to make app running on 
        // http://mydomain/app as well as on
        // http://mydomain/app/  (see the / at the end)

        var root = VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/");
        var applicationPath = Request.ApplicationPath;
        var path = Request.Path;
        var hasTraillingSlash = root.Equals(applicationPath
                                      , StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)
                || !applicationPath.Equals(path
                                      , StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);
        if (!hasTraillingSlash)
        {
            return Redirect(root + "#");
        }

        // my view is not in Views, but in the root of a web project
        return View("~/Index.cshtml");
    }
}

So, this way I can use power of Bundle configureation (javascript, css) ... while starting angular at http://mydomain/app or http://mydomain/app/. Check also similar here

Also in global.asax, we should configura ASP.NET MVC:

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
    routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
    routes.IgnoreRoute("fonts*.woff");

    routes.MapRoute(
      name: "Default",
      url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
      defaults: new {controller = "Home", action = "Index", id =UrlParameter.Optional}
    );
}

while web API should be:

const string IdPattern = @"\d+|[A-Za-z]{1,2}";
public static void SetRouting(HttpConfiguration config)
{
    // some custom routes
    ...            

    // and a default one
    config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
        name: "DefaultApi",
        routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}"
        , constraints: new { id = IdPattern }
        , defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
    );
