Adding or removing a new route to the routeProvider, it doesn't load anything in AngularJS


I have this website routing my pages with 4 html files and it works fine, but when I am trying to add or remove a new one, it just shows blank screen with my navigation bar only. The error I caught is : Error: $injector:modulerr Module Error

Being a noobie in Angular I saw various solutions that have to do with the ngRoute, but in vain.

I want to add more html files for the rest of the projects but I can't.

I use 1.2.15 version and call the files locally. Below is the Angular script I am using, there's also some code added to browse through the projects.

            var app = angular.module('myapp', ['ngRoute','ngAnimate']);

            app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, NextBackBasicService, $location) {
              $scope.message = $location.path();
            });

            app.config(function($routeProvider) {
              $routeProvider.
              when('/', {
                templateUrl: 'home.html',
                controller: 'MainCtrl'
                    }).
              when('/example1', {
                templateUrl: 'example.html',
                controller: 'MainCtrl'
              }).
              when('/example2', {
                templateUrl: 'example2.html',
                controller: 'MainCtrl'
              }).
              when('/example3', {
                templateUrl: 'example3.html',
                controller: 'MainCtrl'
              }).
              when('/example4', {
                templateUrl: 'example4.html',
                controller: 'MainCtrl'
              });
              $routeProvider.otherwise({
                redirectTo: '/route'
              });
            });

            app.run(function($rootScope, NextBackBasicService){
              $rootScope.goNext = function() {
                NextBackBasicService.goNext();
              };

              $rootScope.goBack = function() {
                NextBackBasicService.goBack();
              };
            });

            app.factory('NextBackBasicService', function($route, $location) {
              //array for keeping defined routes
              var routes = [];

              angular.forEach($route.routes, function(config, route) {
                //not to add same route twice
                if (angular.isUndefined(config.redirectTo)) {
                  routes.push(route);
                }
              });

              return {
                goNext: function() {
                  var nextIndex = routes.indexOf($location.path()) + 1;
                  if (nextIndex === routes.length) {
                    $location.path(routes[0]);
                  } else {
                    $location.path(routes[nextIndex]);
                  }
                },
                goBack: function() {
                  //window.history.back();
                  var backIndex = routes.indexOf($location.path()) - 1;
                  if (backIndex === -1) {
                    $location.path(routes[routes.length - 1]);
                  } else {
                    $location.path(routes[backIndex]);
                  }
                }
              };

            });

And here is my index.html

Solution

  • According to the posted error, the last reference to $routeProvider is undefined. There seems to be something odd going on, because that shouldn't be possible. To side-step this issue though, you can remove the last reference to $routeProvider and just chain the .otherwise() call onto the previous .when() call, like so:

    .when('/example4', { templateUrl: 'example4.html', controller: 'MainCtrl' }).otherwise({ redirectTo: '/route' });
