Issue is quite simple. I have been trying for hours now but just couldn't get the template to load via angularJS client side routing. Not using any server side routing.
So, used various combinations of paths. If I use "/home" in button href it straight away gives error that it couldn't find "/home". But with "#/home", I don't get that error but it still wouldn't load the template.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

home.html
JS:
var myApp = angular.module("myApp",['ngRoute']);
myApp.controller('appController',function($scope,$http){
//mytext = 0; instantiating variables without using var gives referencing error due to "use strict";
$scope.angular = angular;
$scope.mytext = "Harsh";
$scope.formSuccess = false;
$http({method:"GET", url:"JS/carousel-data.json"}).
success(function(data) {
$scope.carouselData = angular.fromJson(data);
}).
error(function(data) {
console.log("Error loading images");
});
myApp.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/home', {
templateUrl: 'templates/home.html',
controller: 'appController'
})
.when('/edit', {
templateUrl: 'templates/home.html',
controller: 'appController'
});
});
HTML:
<body ng-controller="appController">
<header id="pageHeader" class="col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 header">
<nav class="col-md-5 col-sm-6 col-xs-10 menu">
<ul class="nav nav-pills" id="menuLinks">
<li class="dropdown visible-xs">
<a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false">Sapient <span class="caret"></span></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li><a href="#/home">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#/edit">Edit</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li role="presentation" class="hidden-xs" ><a href="#/home">Home</a></li>
<li role="presentation" class="hidden-xs" ><a href="#/edit">Edit</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
<div ng-view></div>
</body>
It's rather unclear how you've set up things? Is the HTML your index or is that your home.html?
Secondly you already declare the controllers of your pages to be appController, no need to define that with the ng-controller directive anymore.
Apart from that you're loading the same template on each href, could it be that you're just seeing the same page like declared?
It should be noteworthy that there is a more extensive module for routing. You can find it at ui-router.
