I am trying to create a basic app with a header & main view, using directives. Initially I had the directive in a separate file, but have moved it into app.js to eliminate a problem.
I have tried a few different things:
<app-header>
& <div=app-header>
My index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="simpleLoginApp">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title> Simple Login </title>
</head>
<body>
<div app-header></div>
<main role="main" ng-view></main>
<script src="resources/angular/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="resources/angular-route/angular-route.js"></script>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
My app.js:
var app = angular.module('simpleLoginApp', ['ngRoute'])
.directive('app-header', function() {
return {
templateUrl: '/header/header.html'
};
})
.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/login', {
templateUrl: '/login/login.html',
controller: 'LoginCtrl'
})
}]);
Header.html
<header>
<h1>HEADER</h1>
</header>
The problem is how you register your directive. When defining a directive, you should use camel case, e.g. appHeader
instead of app-header
. When using it in a template you should use the dashes as you've done. You can see the documentation here under the Normalization heading
In short change
.directive('app-header', function() {
return {
templateUrl: '/header/header.html'
};
})
to
.directive('appHeader', function() {
return {
templateUrl: '/header/header.html'
};
})
