I am faced with a parent state that is abstract, primarily consisting of a template HTML with UI-views. Within this structure, I have multiple child states, each containing several views. Furthermore, these child states have their own child states, which in turn include multiple views. While the initial child state functions correctly, accessing the subsequent child state results in a crash.
Below is a simplified excerpt of the code (the actual implementation includes numerous components on one page). The setup resembles a to-do list, featuring a list and an edit view where visibility toggles depending on whether a user is editing an existing item or creating a new one. It is essential for the lists of other components to remain visible:
index.html:
<div ui-view></div>
<div ui-view="todo-edit"></div>
<div ui-view="todo-list"></div>
Javascript code:
$stateProvider
.state('root', {
abstract: true,
url: '/',
templateUrl: '/index.html'
})
.state('root.todo', { //This state operates successfully
url: '/todo',
views: {
'': {
template: 'Todo list'
},
'todo-list': {
templateUrl: '/todo-list.html',
controller: 'TodoListController'
}
}
})
.state('root.todo.edit', { //Issue arises with this state
url: '/edit/:id',
views: {
'@root': {
template: 'Edit todo'
},
'todo-list@root': {
templateUrl: '/todo-list.html',
controller: 'TodoListController'
},
'todo-edit@root': {
templateUrl: '/todo-edit.html',
controller: 'TodoEditController'
}
}
})
.state('root.todo.create', { //Problem also occurs with this state
url: '/create',
views: {
'@root': {
template: 'Create todo'
},
'todo-list@root': {
templateUrl: '/todo-list.html',
controller: 'TodoListController'
},
'todo-edit@root': {
templateUrl: '/todo-edit.html',
controller: 'TodoEditController'
}
}
});
The issue lies with the state todo.list.edit, as it redirects me back to the root page without any error notifications. Any insights into the possible cause of this problem and how it can be resolved would be greatly appreciated. I am open to suggestions, as I suspect there may be alternative approaches to resolving this issue besides manipulating views. My intention is to manage different "states" utilizing states rather than ng-include or sharing state through a service or similar method.
