Recently diving into the AngularJS world, I embarked on setting up a simple laravel/angular JWT authentication by following this specific tutorial.
My goal is to utilize the "Controller As" syntax instead of relying on $scope as instructed in the tutorial. Currently, this is what my setup looks like:
app.js
var app = angular.module('app', ['ngRoute']);
app.run(function () {});
app.config(function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'js/templates/login.html',
controller: 'LoginController'
});
});
Login Controller
angular.module('app')
.controller('LoginController', function ($scope) {
this.title='toto';
this.data = {};
this.submit = function () {
console.log(this.data);
};
});
Admin View
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Blog Administration</title>
<!--css-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css"/>
<!--js-->
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!--angular-->
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.4/angular.js"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.4/angular-route.js"></script>
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
<script src="js/controllers/loginController.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-app="app">
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="container" id="view" ng-view>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Login Template
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head lang="en">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body ng-controller="LoginController as login">
<div class="container">
<div id="login" class="col-md-4 col-md-offset-4">
<div id="login-form">
<h4>{{ login.title }}</h4>
<form ng-submit="login.submit()"><!--username-->
<div class="form-group">
<input id="username" type="text" ng-model="login.data.username"/>
</div>
<!--password-->
<div class="form-group">
<input id="password" type="password" ng-model="login.data.password"/>
</div>
<!--submit-->
<div class="form-group">
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Login</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The main issue I am facing is that nothing is being rendered. Is it feasible to utilize a controller per template?
When placing the
<ng-controller="LoginController as login">Is it considered best practice to define a controller for each template? I believe the login template should remain as generic as possible for potential use in various views if the user isn't authenticated. Therefore, I question whether placing the login() action within the controller managing the Admin view is incorrect.
I would greatly appreciate any insights on the optimal practices to implement in this scenario.
