Multiple States for Multiple Views On Single Page

1.2k views Asked by At

I'm having some trouble targeting nested views on a single page with multiple views. Here's my code.

$stateProvider
    .state('root', {
        abstract: true,
        url: '/',
        views: {

            'viewA': {
                templateUrl: '/views/viewA.html'
            },

            'viewB': {
                templateUrl: '/views/viewB.html'
            }
        }
    })
    .state('root.sectionA1', {
        url: '',
        views: {
            'viewASub': {
                templateUrl: '/views/viewA.Section1.html'
            }
        }
    })
    .state('root.sectionA2', {
        url: '',
        views: {
            'viewASub': {
                templateUrl: '/views/viewA.Section2.html'
            }
        }
    })
    .state('root.sectionB1', {
        url: '',
        views: {
            'viewBSub': {
                templateUrl: '/views/viewB.Section1.html'
            }
        }
    })
    .state('root.sectionB2', {
        url: '',
        views: {
            'viewASub': {
                templateUrl: '/views/viewB.Section2.html'
            }
        }
    })

My index.html

<body>
  <div ui-view="viewA"></div>
  <div ui-view="viewB"></div>
</body>

The html to my 2 sections

<!-- viewA.html -->
view A content
<div ui-view="viewASub"></div>


<!-- viewB.html -->
view B content
<div ui-view="viewBSub"></div>

At this point all the subview states for viewA show up fine. I'm able to add multiple sections and show different states using the ui-sref link. But I'm unable get any of the 'viewB' subviews so show up. When I place the 'root.sectionB1' above 'root.sectionA1' the second section subviews show up fine. I'm assuming that I need to be more specific in how I'm referencing the parent of each subview. I'm I missing something here?

You have had a copy / paste mistake in root.sectionB2 the view should be viewBSub then I think it's working as expected.

Please have a look at the demo below or at this fiddle.

angular.module('demoApp', ['ui.router'])
.config(function($urlRouterProvider, $stateProvider) {
    $urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/');
    $stateProvider
    .state('root', {
        abstract: true,
        url: '/',
        views: {

            'viewA': {
                templateUrl: 'views/viewA.html'
            },

            'viewB': {
                templateUrl: 'views/viewB.html'
            }
        }
    })
    .state('root.sectionA1', {
        url: '',
        views: {
            'viewASub': {
                templateUrl: '/views/viewA.Section1.html'
            }
        }
    })
    .state('root.sectionA2', {
        url: '',
        views: {
            'viewASub': {
                templateUrl: '/views/viewA.Section2.html'
            }
        }
    })
    .state('root.sectionB1', {
        url: '',
        views: {
            'viewBSub': {
                templateUrl: '/views/viewB.Section1.html'
            }
        }
    })
    .state('root.sectionB2', {
        url: '',
        views: {
            'viewBSub': { //copy / paste mistake
                templateUrl: '/views/viewB.Section2.html'
            }
        }
    })
});
[ui-view="viewASub"] {
    color: blue;
    /*border:1px solid #000;*/
}

[ui-view="viewBSub"] {
    color: red;
