How when to use ng-click to call a route

Question

Suppose you are using routes      bootstrap myApp config    routeProvider     locationProvider   function   routeProvider   locationProvider          routeProvider when   home             templateUrl   partials home html           controller   HomeCtrl               routeProvider when   about             templateUrl   partials about html           controller   AboutCtrl                And in your html  you want to navigate to the about page when a button is clicked   One way would be    lt a href    about  gt        but it seems ng-click would be useful here too    Is that assumption correct   That ng-click be used instead of anchor  If so  how would that work   IE      lt div ng-click   about  gt

Remember that if you use ng-click for routing you will not be able to right-click the element and choose  open in new tab  or ctrl clicking the link  I try to use ng-href when in comes to navigation  ng-click is better to use on buttons for operations or visual effects like collapse   But     About I would not recommend  If you change the route you might need to change in a lot of placed in the application  Have a method returning the link  ex  About  This method you place in a utility

Here s a great tip that nobody mentioned   In the controller that the function is within  you need to include the location provider   app controller  SlideController      scope     location  function  scope   location     scope goNext   function  hash      location path hash               lt  --the code to call it from within the partial --- gt   lt div ng-click  goNext   page2    gt next page lt  div gt

Another solution but without using ng-click which still works even for other tags than  lt a gt     lt tr  routerLink      about    gt    This way you can also pass parameters to your route  https   stackoverflow com a 40045556 838494   This is my first day with angular  Gentle feedback is welcome

You can use    lt a ng-href    about  gt About lt  a gt    If you want some dynamic variable inside href you can do like this way    lt a ng-href    link   123    gt Link to 123 lt  a gt    Where link is Angular scope variable

Using a custom attribute  implemented with a directive  is perhaps the cleanest way  Here s my version  based on  Josh and  sean s suggestions   angular module  mymodule           Click to navigate    similar to  lt a href    partial  gt  but hash is not required      e g   lt div click-link   partial  gt   directive  clickLink      location   function  location        return           link  function scope  element  attrs                element on  click   function                     scope  apply function                          location path attrs clickLink                                                              It has some useful features  but I m new to Angular so there s probably room for improvement

Routes monitor the  location service and respond to changes in URL  typically through the hash   To  activate  a route  you simply change the URL  The easiest way to do that is with anchor tags    lt a href    home  gt Go Home lt  a gt   lt a href    about  gt Go to About lt  a gt    Nothing more complicated is needed  If  however  you must do this from code  the proper way is by using the  location service    scope go   function   path        location path  path         Which  for example  a button could trigger    lt button ng-click  go   home    gt  lt  button gt
