Controller not defined in a Typescript application after upgrading to 1.3

Question

I have the following code in my application:

angular.module('home', [])
    .controller('homeHomeController', HomeHomeController)
    .controller('homeContentController', HomeContentController);

and

class HomeHomeController {
    static $inject = [
        '$http',
        'examService',
        'stateService',
        'userService'
    ];
    constructor(
        private $http: ng.IHttpService,
        private $es: IExamService,
        private $ss: IStateService,
        private $us: IUserService
        ) {
        var self = this;   
    }
} 

I just upgraded to AngularJS 1.3 and now I am getting this error:

Error: [ng:areq] Argument 'HomeHomeController' is not a function, got undefined

Here is the way I am doing the router config:

app.config([
    '$httpProvider',
    '$locationProvider',
    '$sceProvider',
    '$stateProvider',
    appConfig
]);

function appConfig(
    $httpProvider,
    $locationProvider,
    $sceProvider,
    $stateProvider: ng.ui.IStateProvider
    ) {

    $locationProvider.html5Mode(true);

    ..
     var home = {
        name: 'home',
        url: '/Home',
        views: {
            'root': {
                templateUrl: '/Content/app/home/partials/home.html',
            },
            'content': {
                templateUrl: '/Content/app/home/partials/overview.html',
            },
        }
    };
    ..
    $stateProvider
        ..
        .state(home)
        ;

Here is the order of my script loads:

<script src="Scripts/jquery-2.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/angular.js"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/angular-ui-router.js"></script>
...
<script src="/Content/app/home/controllers/HomeController.js"></script>
<script src="/Content/app/home/home.js"></script>

<script src="/Content/app/app.js"></script>
<script src="/Content/app/appConfig.js"></script>
<script src="/Content/app/appRun.js"></script>

Can anyone tell me if there is aproblem with the way that I am defining my controller using Typescript?

Answer 1

Despite of the fact, that you describe that only change is angular JS upgrade, I would like to give you a hint, how this error could be reproduced. I followed your description above and created this broken plunker with this state definition:

var home = {
    name: 'home',
    url: '/Home',
    views: {
        'root': {
            templateUrl: 'tpl.home.html',
            controller: 'HomeHomeController',
        },
        'content': {
            templateUrl: 'tpl.overview.html',
            controller: 'homeContentController',
        }
    }
};

And because the angular's controller definition (following the question) is:

var app = angular.module('home', ['ui.router', 'services'])
    .controller('homeHomeController', HomeHomeController)
    .controller('homeContentController', HomeContentController);

this gets the error:

 Error: [ng:areq] Argument 'HomeHomeController' is not a function, got undefined  
 http://errors.angularjs.org/1.3.0/ng/areq?p0=HomeHomeController&p1=not%20aNaNunction%2C%20got%20undefined
... 

So, what is wrong? controller: 'HomeHomeController',

views: {
    'root': {
        templateUrl: 'tpl.home.html',
        controller: 'HomeHomeController',

If we fix it to controller: 'homeHomeController' (camel case name), everything is working

Here is updated plunker with working version

var home = {
    name: 'home',
    url: '/Home',
    views: {
        'root': {
            templateUrl: 'tpl.home.html',
            controller: 'homeHomeController',
        },
        'content': {
            templateUrl: 'tpl.overview.html',
            controller: 'homeContentController',
        }
    }
};
