Changing perspectives in angular does not automatically alter the controller

I am working on a basic Angular app that utilizes two templates and controllers. The app features two buttons for switching views, each calling a function within the controllers to switch locations using window.location=''.

However, I've encountered an issue where placing the ng-controller directive results in the template changing without the controller loading. Conversely, removing the ng-controller directive prevents any controller from loading, although the default view is rendered.

I'm wondering what could be causing this problem. Below is the code snippet:

HTML:

<body ng-app='schoolConnect' ng-controller='takeCtrl' >
 <div ng-show='loading' style='margin-top:100px' >
<!--content-->
</div> 
<table width=40% align='center' style='margin-bottom:10px' >
  <tr>
   <td align='center' > 

 <!-- BUTTONS THAT SWITCH THE VIEW -->
  <div class='btn-group' > 
   <button class='btn btn-lg' ng-class='take_btn' ng-disabled='isTaking' ng-click='takeAttend()' >
&nbsp;Take&nbsp;
   </button>
   <button class='btn btn-lg' ng-class='view_btn' ng-disabled='isViewing'  ng-click='viewAttend()' >
&nbsp;View&nbsp;
  </button>

   </div>
   </td>
 </tr> 
</table>
<table width=40% align='center' >
   <!-- Some content that contains ng-models and ng-binds -->
</table>

<!-- This table Contains the rendered views -->
<table align='center' class="table table-striped table-hover table-bordered table-condensed" style='width:60%' ng-view></table>

</body>

</html>

Javascript:

/*********************************
*>Apply controller to angular app**
 *>Define major functions **********
********************************/

//Initalize app
var app=angular.module('schoolConnect',['ngSanitize','ngRoute']);

//Define Views  

function configViews($routeProvider)
{
   $routeProvider
   //default view is Take Attendance
    .when('/take',{
      templateUrl: 'partials/takeAttendance.html', controller: "takeCtrl"
      })

     //View for tviewing attendance
     .when('/view',{
        templateUrl: 'partials/viewAttendance.html', controller: "viewCtrl"
        })

      .otherwise({
        redirectTo:'/take'
       });
 }

 //Assign Views
  app.config(configViews);



//Assign controllers

//Take Attendance-Controller
app.controller('takeCtrl',takeCtrl);

//Define Controller
function takeCtrl($scope,$http){
  $scope.pageTitle='Attendance';

  //************INITIALIZE SOME VARIABLES AS REQUIRED*****
  $scope.view_btn='btn-danger';
  $scope.take_btn='btn-default';
  $scope.isTaking=true;
  $scope.isViewing=false;

    //SOME MORE CODE HERE

  } //CONTROLLER 1 ENDS


 //View Attendace-Controller
 app.controller('viewCtrl',viewCtrl);

//Define Controller
function viewCtrl($scope,$http){
    $scope.pageTitle='Attendance';

   //************INITIALIZE SOME VARIABLES AS REQUIRED*****
    $scope.view_btn='btn-default';
    $scope.take_btn='btn-danger';
    $scope.isTaking=false;
    $scope.isViewing=true;

     //SOME MORE CODE HERE

    } //CONTROLLER 2 ENDS

The views are loading correctly, but there seems to be an issue with the controller. Removing it from the body tag leaves no controller active at all.

When binding a controller to a view in the route provider, you do not need to use ng-controller.

<body ng-app='schoolConnect' >

Make sure to inject the $location service for proper view switching.

viewCtrl($scope,$http,$location){

Utilize the path method to navigate to the desired view:

$location.path('/take');

Next, add ng-view to the index.html file

<div ng-view></div>

Within this div, the views from the route will be displayed.
