I have three files of a very simple angular js application
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="gemStore">
<head>
<script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.8/angular.min.js'></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="StoreController as store">
<div class="list-group-item" ng-repeat="product in store.products">
<h3>{{product.name}} <em class="pull-right">{{product.price | currency}}</em></h3>
</div>
<product-color></product-color>
</body>
</html>
product-color.html
<div class="list-group-item">
<h3>Hello <em class="pull-right">Brother</em></h3>
</div>
app.js
(function() {
var app = angular.module('gemStore', []);
app.controller('StoreController', function($http){
this.products = gem;
}
);
app.directive('productColor', function() {
return {
restrict: 'E', //Element Directive
templateUrl: 'product-color.html'
};
}
);
var gem = [
{
name: "Shirt",
price: 23.11,
color: "Blue"
},
{
name: "Jeans",
price: 5.09,
color: "Red"
}
];
})();
I started getting this error as soon as I entered an include of product-color.html using custom directive named productColor:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///C:/product-color.html. Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome-extension, https, chrome-extension-resource.
angular.js:11594 Error: Failed to execute 'send' on 'XMLHttpRequest': Failed to load 'file:///C:/product-color.html'.
What may be going wrong? Is it a path issue for product-color.html?
All my three files are in the same root folder C:/user/project/
This question is related to

html

xmlhttprequest
The answer is
VERY SIMPLE FIX
- Go to your app directory
- Start SimpleHTTPServer
In the terminal
$ cd yourAngularApp
~/yourAngularApp $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Now, go to localhost:8000 in your browser and the page will show
The Reason
You are not opening the page through a server, like Apache, so when the browser tries to obtain the resource it thinks it is from a separate domain, which is not allowed. Though some browsers do allow it.
The Solution
Run inetmgr and host your page locally and browse as http://localhost:portnumber/PageName.html or through a web server like Apache, nginx, node etc.
Alternatively use a different browser No error was shown when directly opening the page using Firefox and Safari. It comes only for Chrome and IE(xx).
If you are using code editors like Brackets, Sublime or Notepad++, those apps handle this error automatically.
there is a chrome extension 200ok its a web server for chrome just add that and select your folder
My problem was resolved just by adding http:// to my url address.
for example I used http://localhost:3000/movies instead of localhost:3000/movies.
- Install the http-server, running command
npm install http-server -g - Open the terminal in the path where is located the index.html
- Run command
http-server . -o - Enjoy it!
I would add that one can also use xampp, mamp type of things and put your project in the htdocs folder so it is accessible on localhost
Navigate to C:/user/project/index.html, open it with Visual Studio 2017, File > View in Browser or press Ctrl+Shift+W
Adding to @Kirill Fuchs excellent solution and answering @StackUser's doubt - while starting the http-server, set the path till the app folder only, NOT till the html page!
http-server C:\location\to\app and access index.html under app folder
If you are using this in chrome/chromium browser(ex: in Ubuntu 14.04), You can use one of the below command to tackle this issue.
ThinkPad-T430:~$ google-chrome --allow-file-access-from-files
ThinkPad-T430:~$ google-chrome --allow-file-access-from-files fileName.html
ThinkPad-T430:~$ chromium-browser --allow-file-access-from-files
ThinkPad-T430:~$ chromium-browser --allow-file-access-from-files fileName.html
This will allow you to load the file in chrome or chromium. If you have to do the same operation for windows you can add this switch in properties of the chrome shortcut or run it from cmd with the flag. This operation is not allowed in Chrome, Opera, Internet Explorer by default. By default it works only in firefox and safari. Hence using this command will help you.
Alternately you can also host it on any web server (Example:Tomcat-java,NodeJS-JS,Tornado-Python, etc) based on what language you are comfortable with. This will work from any browser.
This issue is not happening in Firefox and Safari. Make sure you are using the latest version of xml2json.js. Because i faced the XML parser error in IE. In Chrome best way you should open it in server like Apache or XAMPP.
If for whatever reason you cannot have the files hosted from a webserver and still need some sort of way of loading partials, you can resort to using the ngTemplate directive.
This way, you can include your markup inside script tags in your index.html file and not have to include the markup as part of the actual directive.
Add this to your index.html
<script type='text/ng-template' id='tpl-productColour'>
<div class="list-group-item">
<h3>Hello <em class="pull-right">Brother</em></h3>
</div>
</script>
Then, in your directive:
app.directive('productColor', function() {
return {
restrict: 'E', //Element Directive
//template: 'tpl-productColour'
templateUrl: 'tpl-productColour'
};
}
);
If you are running server already, don't forget to use http:// in the API call. This might cause a serious trouble.
RootCause:
File protocol does not support cross origin request for Chrome
Solution 1:
use http protocol instead of file, meaning: set up a http server, such as apache, or nodejs+http-server
Sotution 2:
Add --allow-file-access-from-files after Chrome`s shortcut target, and open new browse instance using this shortcut
Solution 3:
use Firefox instead
You have to open chrome using the following flag Go to run menu and type "chrome --disable-web-security --user-data-dir"
Make sure all the instances of chrome are closed before you use the flag to open chrome. You will get a security warning that indicates CORS is enabled.
I had the same issue. after adding below code to my app.js file it fixed.
var cors = require('cors')
app.use(cors());
The operation is not allowed in chrome. You can either use a HTTP server(Tomcat) or you use Firefox instead.
