I'm trying to route an extremely simple example component in AngularJS 1.5.8. Spent about two days trying different things but am down to this extremely simple example.
I've tried using ui-view name="main". Also tried changing the URL from '/' to something else like '/path' but browser comes back with 'Cannot GET /path'. So it shows me that the routing isn't working at all. Also tried NOT using a component route and changed to a template. Still doesn't work (white page with no console errors in browser).
Using angular-ui-router v1.0.0-beta
app.module.js
(function(){
'use strict';
angular.module('mainApp', ['ui.router'])
.component('mainComponent', {
controller: function(){
this.message = "message from the controller";
},
template: 'sample template from app component'
})
.config(function($stateProvider){
var mainState = {
name: 'main',
url: '/',
component: 'mainComponent'
};
$stateProvider.state(mainState);
});
})();
