What is the elegant way to trigger a state with angular-ui-router
by clicking <button>
?
I am using ui-sref="main"
and it doesn't seem to work although it works with <a>
though.
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="plunker">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>AngularJS Plunker</title>
<link data-require="[email protected]" data-semver="3.1.1" rel="stylesheet" href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
<script>
document.write('<base href="' + document.location + '" />');
</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<script data-require="[email protected]" src="http://code.angularjs.org/1.2.13/angular.js" data-semver="1.2.13"></script>
<script src="http://angular-ui.github.io/ui-router/release/angular-ui-router.js" ></script>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="MainCtrl">
<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="navbar-header">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Brand</a>
</div>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-left">
<li>
<button class="btn btn-danger navbar-btn" ui-sref="main" >Button Submit</button>
</li>
<li>
<a class="btn btn-danger navbar-btn" ui-sref="main" >Anchor Link Submit</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</body>
</html>
Javascript:
var app = angular.module('plunker', ['ui.router']);
'use strict';
app.config(['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider', '$locationProvider', function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider, $locationProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state("main", {
url: "/main",
resolve: {
test: function() {
alert("Triggered main state");
return true;
}
}
});
}]);
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.name = 'World';
});

Wrap the button in an anchor and you are good to go:
<a ui-sref="main">
<button class="btn btn-danger navbar-btn" >Button Submit</button>
</a>
the other solutions didn't work for me. Here's what I did using ui-router:
<button ui-sref="app.schedule" class="btn btn-danger navbar-btn">
Schedule
</button>
Piece of pie :-)
