You can have just one ng-view.
You can change its content in several ways: ng-include, ng-switch or mapping different controllers and templates through the routeProvider.
UI-Router is a project that can help: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router One of it's features is Multiple Named Views
UI-Router has many features and i recommend you using it if you're working on an advanced app.
Check documentation of Multiple Named Views here.
It is possible to have multiple or nested views. But not by ng-view.
The primary routing module in angular does not support multiple views. But you can use ui-router. This is a third party module which you can get via Github, angular-ui/ui-router, https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router . Also a new version of ngRouter (ngNewRouter) currently, is being developed. It is not stable at the moment. So I provide you a simple start up example with ui-router. Using it you can name views and specify which templates and controllers should be used for rendering them. Using $stateProvider you should specify how view placeholders should be rendered for specific state.
<body ng-app="main">
<script type="text/javascript">
angular.module('main', ['ui.router'])
.config(['$locationProvider', '$stateProvider', function ($locationProvider, $stateProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('home', {
url: '/',
views: {
'header': {
templateUrl: '/app/header.html'
},
'content': {
templateUrl: '/app/content.html'
}
}
});
}]);
</script>
<a ui-sref="home">home</a>
<div ui-view="header">header</div>
<div ui-view="content">content</div>
<div ui-view="bottom">footer</div>
<script src="bower_components/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/angular-ui-router/release/angular-ui-router.js">
</body>
You need referencing angularjs, and angular-ui.router for this sample.
$ bower install angular-ui-router
You cant have multiple ng-view. Below is my use case where I solved my requirement. I wanted to have tabbed behavior in my model dialog. I was facing issue as click on tabs having hyperlink which will invoke router links. I solved this using button and css for tabs. When user clicks on tab, it actually will not call any hyperlink which will always invoke the ng-router. When user click on tab it will call a method, where I dynamcilly load html. Below is the function on click of tab
self.submit = function(form) {
$templateRequest('resources/items/employee/test_template.html').then(function(template){
var compiledeHTML = $compile(template)($scope);
$("#d").replaceWith(compiledeHTML);
});
User $templateRequest. In test_template.html page add your html content. This html content will be bind to your controller.
Using regular ng-view module you cannot have more than one dynamic template.
However, this project enables you to do so (look for ui-router).
I believe you can accomplish it by just having single ng-view. In the main template you can have ng-include sections for sub views, then in the main controller define model properties for each sub template. So that they will bind automatically to ng-include sections. This is same as having multiple ng-view
You can check the example given in ng-include documentation
in the example when you change the template from dropdown list it changes the content. Here assume you have one main ng-view and instead of manually selecting sub content by selecting drop down, you do it as when main view is loaded.
