Context We have a web app using AngularJS with ASP.NET MVC. It aims to replicate a file-system structure through URLs, like this:
http://(site1)//rootFolder//NFolders//File
For views in Angular, we are using stateProvider, with different states associated to existing views in disk (.cshtml files).
The problem issues when we request a file or folder from the browser and we try to serve a virtual view that doesn't really exist. We have just been able to achieve it with a full postback and some hacks, making a complete reload on each file/folder request.
Question: Is there a way of achieving that in Angular? Other way, the request for different URLs which don't have either their corresponding physical view as a file or any state in stateProvider, handling them with Angular and customizing a specific view which would deal with disk routes requested by URL?
RE-EDIT We will have:
- a fixed root view for the website: http://website
- several root projects with a name:
- each site may have different files and folders accesible via the URL:
RE-QUESTION: is it possible to handle this "virtual" URLs without having a physical view behind for folders or files? Our idea is to have one unique view called siteController which would control all the sites, and paths to folders and files.
