Cordova Camera and Ionic Framework - Controller and Index.html not connecting


I'm trying to implement a Camera Application with Ionic Framework and Cordova and struggling to understand why it's throwing out the following errors and thus unable to instantiate the camera:

      0     444468   error    Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ., http://192.168.0.10:8100/js/app.js, Line: 9
      1     444540   error    Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module starter due to:
      Error: [$injector:nomod] Module 'starter' is not available! You either misspelled the module name or forgot to load it. If registering a module ensure that you specify the dependencies as the second argument.

The following question and answers unfortunately didn't help me in answering my question:

Ionic Framework / Cordova Camera

Cordova Camera - Ionic

navigator.camera.getPicture doesn’t call success callback - ionic framework - cordova

I have referred to the following tutorials to get this job done with no success(sometimes I got confused more):

Thank you in advance for all your help!


Solution

  • Jad Salhani is right.

    I am going to answer here, even if this should be a comment, as I don't have enough space there.

    You have 2 options here. You can define a variable you are going to use in your module (app.js):

    var app = angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'ngCordova']);
    

    and the use the app variable:

    app.run(function($ionicPlatform) {
       $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
         if(window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
           cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
         }
         if(window.StatusBar) {
           StatusBar.styleDefault();
         } 
       });
     });
    
    app.controller('CameraCtrl', function($scope, $cordovaCamera) {
       ...
    });
    

    or remove the semi columns:

    angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'ngCordova'])
    
    .run(function($ionicPlatform) {
           $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
             if(window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
               cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
             }
             if(window.StatusBar) {
               StatusBar.styleDefault();
             } 
           });
         })
    
    .controller('CameraCtrl', function($scope, $cordovaCamera) {
           ...
    });
