I am learning how to implement routing in AngularJS. Everything else is working fine but the views are not getting updated when I click on the navigation.
How can I achieve the desired functionality in the application? I want the navigation to take us to the desired pages without refreshing the page and that's quite obvious.
Here is the code.
Index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="routingApp">
<head>
<title>AngularJS routing</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.6.7/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.6.7/angular-route.js"></script>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="routingAppController">
<!-- Header and Navigation -->
<header>
<nav class= "navbar navbar-default">
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar-header">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="/">Angular Routing App</a>
</div>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#about">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
</header>
<!-- Main Body where content will be injected -->
<div id="main">
<div ng-view></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Script.js
(function(){
'use strict';
var app = angular.module('routingApp', ['ngRoute']);
app.config(function($routeProvider){
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl : 'pages/home.html',
controller : 'routingAppController'
})
.when('/about', {
templateUrl : 'pages/about.html',
controller : 'aboutController'
})
.when('/contact', {
templateUrl : 'pages/contact.html',
controller : 'contactController'
});
});
app.controller('routingAppController', function($scope){
$scope.message = "This will get updated for sure!";
});
app.controller('aboutController', function($scope){
$scope.message = "This is the about page and it looks awesome!";
});
app.controller('contactController', function($scope){
$scope.message = "This is the contact page!";
});
})();
One of the pages
<div class="jumbotron text-center">
<h1>Home Page</h1>
<p>{{ message }}</p>
</div>
#...<li><a href="#/about">About</a></li>
