Angular ngRoute

vadymus edited this page Feb 24, 2016 · 12 revisions

Using promises in Angular's router can provide a "flicker-free" implementation on view changes. This approach could be used in an application using Angular's ngRoute module. Conveniently, it can be added to the application using DTM.

Prerequisites:

  1. AT.js library
  2. Angular library

Instructions:

  1. Use at.js without the auto-created mbox
  2. Add extension adobe.target.ext.angular.lib+ngroute.js to your server.
  3. Add the above file to the end of at.js in the Target Tool configuration of DTM. Or, include it in your HTML after angular.js and at.js
  4. Initialize with adobe.target.ext.angular.initRoutes method by passing your Angular module as an argument. In DTM you might need to include this as a Sequential Javascript snippet in a Page Load Rule triggered at the Bottom of the Page.
adobe.target.ext.angular.initRoutes(app);  // where app is a required argument, reference to an Angular module, can be object or string name

   //or example with all available options:

adobe.target.ext.angular.initRoutes(app,     // Angular module, object reference or string, required 
    {
        params: {param1:'val1',param2:'val2'},     // Target mbox parameters, optional
        //mbox: 'custom-mbox-name',         // Target mbox name, optional
        //selector: 'body',                 // CSS selector to inject Target content to, optional
        //timeout: 5000,                    // Target call timeout
        allowedRoutesFilter: [],            // Blank for all routes or restrict to specific routes: ['/','/about','/item/:id']
        disallowedRoutesFilter: [],         // Exclude specific routes: ['/login','/privacy']
        debug: true                         // Print console statements
    });
