I am trying to lazy load my controllers for my AngularJS app I built along side with requireJS. I have created a custom "lazyLoad" library that creates a resolve object in app.config() routes (also I am using ui-router). If I code the state (without my library) to look like so it works
define(['angular', 'lazyLoader', 'uiRouter'], function(angular, lazyLoader, uiRouter){
var app = angular.module('myApp', ['ui.router']);
app.config(function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider, $controllerProvider, $compileProvider, $filterProvider, $provide) {
window.lazy = {
controller: $controllerProvider.register,
directive: $compileProvider.directive,
filter: $filterProvider.register,
factory: $provide.factory,
service: $provide.service
};
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/');
$stateProvider
.state('campaigns', {
url:'/campaigns',
views: {
"top-nav" : {
templateUrl: 'views/home/top-nav.html',
resolve : {
load : ['$q', '$rootScope', function($q, $rootScope){
var d = $q.defer();
require(['../app/controllers/header-controller'], function() {
$rootScope.$apply(function(){
d.resolve();
});
});
return d.promise;
}]
}
},
"fullpage": {
templateUrl: 'views/home/index.html',
resolve : {
load : ['$q', '$rootScope', function($q, $rootScope){
var d = $q.defer();
require(['../app/controllers/home-controller'], function() {
$rootScope.$apply(function(){
d.resolve();
});
});
return d.promise;
}]
}
//controller: 'home-controller'
}
}
});
});
return app;
});
If I attempt to replace the resolve object with my library function it looks would look like this:
define(['angular', 'lazyLoader', 'uiRouter'], function(angular, lazyLoader, uiRouter){
and
.state('home', lazyLoader.route({
url:'/',
views: {
"top-nav" : {
templateUrl: 'views/home/top-nav.html',
controllerUrl: '../app/controllers/header-controller'
},
"fullpage": {
templateUrl: 'views/home/index.html',
controllerUrl: '../app/controllers/home-controller'
}
}
}));
lazyLoader.js
define(function () {
'use strict';
function LazyLoader() {}
LazyLoader.prototype.route = function(config){
var controllerPath;
if(config && config.views){
var singleView = Object.keys(config.views);
for(var i in singleView){
var viewName = singleView[i];
controllerPath = config.views[viewName].controllerUrl;
delete config.views.controllerUrl;
config.views[viewName].resolve = {
load : ['$q', '$rootScope', function($q, $rootScope){
var d = $q.defer();
require([controllerPath], function() {
$rootScope.$apply(function(){
d.resolve();
});
});
return d.promise;
}]
};
}
}
return config;
}
return new LazyLoader();
});
Example Controller
define(['app/module'], function (module) {
lazy.controller('header-controller', ['$scope', function ($scope) {
// stuff here
}]);
});
On a side note I plan on implementing something better than attaching lazy variable to window.
When I code the router like the first example it works. When I use my lazyLoader the one of the two views loads it's controller, the second view's controller's file is started to load (console.logs at the beginning show this) but it cannot resolve "module" in the example above.

Again this issue only happens when using my lazyloader which is producing the same resolve object that I have hard coded in for the version that works.
I have searched high and low and there are a lot of resources out there but I could not find anything that addressed this issue.
Any advice is appreciated!
