Cordova + Angularjs + Device Ready


I am developing a mobile application using Cordova and AngularJS. How do I restrict bootstrapping of AngluarJS before Cordova device ready. Basically I don't want to use any of AngularJS controllers before device ready.


Solution

  • Manually bootstrap your Angular app:

    Remove your ng-app attribute from your HTML code, so Angular doesn't start itself.

    Add something like this to you JavaScript code:

    document.addEventListener("deviceready", function() {
        // retrieve the DOM element that had the ng-app attribute
        var domElement = document.getElementById(...) / document.querySelector(...);
        angular.bootstrap(domElement, ["angularAppName"]);
    }, false);
    

    Angular documentation for bootstrapping apps.
