Currently learning the ropes of AngularJS (1.5) and endeavoring to create a feature that will allow me to modify certain elements in my layout based on the route.
My understanding is that I need a service for this purpose. This is the setup I currently have:
'use strict';
/* App Module */
var app = angular.module('app', [
'ngRoute',
'appControllers',
'AppServices'
]);
app.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/', {
template: '<h1>Home page</h1>',
controller: 'MainController'
}).when('/page', {
template: '<h1>Page</h1>',
controller: 'PagesController'
}).otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
}]);
var appControllers = angular.module('appControllers', []);
appControllers.controller('MainController', ['$rootScope', 'AppSetup', function($scope, AppSetup) {
$scope.app = AppSetup.build();
console.log('home');
}]);
appControllers.controller('PagesController', ['$rootScope', 'AppSetup', function($scope, AppSetup) {
AppSetup.setProperties({
meta: {
title: 'My Second Page'
}
});
console.log('page');
$scope.app = AppSetup.build();
}]);
var AppServices = angular.module('AppServices', []);
AppServices.service('AppSetup', [function() {
var properties = {
meta: {
title: 'My App • Best of the best'
}
},
styles;
this.setProperties = function(input) {
this.properties = angular.extend(properties, input);
};
//TODO: This will override app-wide styles.
this.setStyles = function(input) {
this.styles = angular.extend({}, input);
};
this.build = function() {
return {
properties: properties,
styles: styles
};
};
}]);
Currently struggling with how to reset the default value of the properties object when navigating back to the home page. It seems like it's set once on page load and then remains unchanged until altered manually. What would be the most effective approach to overcome this challenge?
I attempted following @Raul A.'s suggestion by adding a listener to the route, but unfortunately, it did not yield the desired results. The console output reflects this issue.
