Can anyone assist me with a challenge I'm facing regarding views? While this is a hypothetical scenario and there's no code available to review...
Let's imagine a simple site with three routes:
/signin
/users
/users/:id
Upon accessing the sign-in route (/signin), the sign-in view is loaded into <ng-view> in the main index.html file. This view typically consists of a basic form requesting username and password.
Once signed in successfully, the user will be directed to the user list view (/users). This page may include a header, footer, left-side navigation menu, and the user list as the primary content at the center.
When clicking on a specific user from the list, the user detail page (/users/:id) should be displayed without reloading the header, footer, and side navigation. To achieve this without duplicating unnecessary elements, one approach could involve modifying the structure in the index.html file like so:
<header/>
<left-nav/>
<div ng-view></div>
<footer/>
Although this method ensures only the main content updates when switching between routes, a new issue arises when revisiting the sign-in screen - it contains unwanted elements like the header, footer, and side navigation.
Here's the desired flow that I aim for:
- Access the sign-in page.
- Display the sign-in view.
- Upon successful login, navigate to the user list view. This should include header, footer, nav, and main content displaying the user list.
- Select a user from the list.
- Show the user details within the main content area while keeping the header, footer, and nav unchanged.
How can I achieve this seamlessly without resorting to temporary solutions?
