Is it possible to pass multiple values into a '.when' call during routing? For example,
$routeProvider
.when('/page1' || '/page2',
{
});
Or would I have to call them individually like:
$routeProvider
.when('/page1',
{
})
.when('/page2',
{
});
I'm able to call them individually, but I want only a specific set of top-level pages. I'm wanting to know if I can bundle to save ~15 lines of extra code, or if I will have to call them individually.
You can use named groups:
$routeProvider.
when('/page:id'), {
templateUrl: 'page-template.html',
controller: 'PageCtrl'
}).
when('/404'), {
templateUrl: '404.html',
controller: 'NotFoundCtrl'
}).
otherwise({
redirectTo: '/404'
});
http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngRoute.$routeProvider
PageCtrl
app.controller('PageCtrl', function($routeParams, $location) {
switch ($routeParams.id) {
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
case 4:
// code for your base pages
break;
default:
$location.path('/404'); // not base pages, 404
break;
}
// other code
});
In this way, if the url isn't one of /page1, /page2, /page3 or /page4, the view will be redirected to 404 page.
:page is 'page1', 'page2', 'page3', or 'page4', then go to those pages, but if :page isn't one of those, go to the 404. I can add the provisions individually, but I'm wondering if there's a way to group..when() call.
