Issue with Angular controller failing to load when link is clicked

I am currently developing a webpage that incorporates Angular and responds to ajax requests by populating data into a table. When I manually enter the address, everything works as expected. However, if I navigate to the page using a link (

<a href="/product/search">link</a>
), the controller fails to load properly (even though the HTML content displays). The console does not show any errors except for a resource not being loaded for an image due to Angular not processing the URL correctly. Below is a snippet of my code:

    <h1 style="text-align: center;">Product Search</h1>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search (Ex. ea-004, Christmas)..." id="search" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<div ng-app="search_results"  style="text-align: center; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;">
<div ng-controller="search_results_ctl" style="text-align: center; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;">

    product{{JSON.stringify(product)}}
<style>
    .product:hover{
        background-color: #DDDDDD;
        cursor: pointer;
        border:0px solid grey;
        border-radius: 5px;
    }

    .product-selector:hover {
        color: black;
    }
</style>




<script>

    var app = angular.module("search_results", ['angularUtils.directives.dirPagination']);

    app.controller("search_results_ctl", ['$scope', function($scope){
        console.log("Angular loaded...");
        $scope.results = "";

        $('#search').keypress(function(ev){
            if(ev.which != 13){//do not add enter to search text, just submit query again
                s_term = $('#search').val() + String.fromCharCode(ev.which);//append last character typed
            }else{
                s_term = $('#search').val();
            }


            $.ajax({
             url: "/query",
             data: {s_term: s_term},
             success: function(data){
                //console.log("products: " + data);
                $scope.products = JSON.parse(data);
                $scope.$apply();
             }
            });
        });



    }]);    

</script>
    <span ng-if="products != null">
    <div style="width: 80%; margin: auto !important;
    " dir-paginate="product in products | itemsPerPage: 10" class="row product">
        <a href="/orders/new?product_id={{product.id}}" class="product-selector">
        <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-3">{{product.title}}</div><div class="col-md-6 col-sm-6">{{product.description}}</div><div class="col-md-3 col-sm-3" style="text-align: center"><img src='{{product.image}}' width="50px" height="50px" style="margin-top: auto; margin-bottom: auto;"></div></a>
    </div>
    </span>
    <span ng-if="products == null" >
        <div style="background-color: #DDDDDD; border: 0px solid grey; border-radius: 5px;">
        <h3 style="text-align: center;">Creating an Order</h3>
        <p><strong>To start</strong>, type in the product code from the website or a key word like "christmas" or "sports". Click the product you would like to order, and it will take you to the order page.</p>
        </div>
    </span>

<dir-pagination-controls></dir-pagination-controls>

</div>
</div>

The hyperlink leading to the page uses an href of "/products/search", which corresponds to the correct route.

I am seeking assistance in resolving this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer №1

Upon delving deeper, it became apparent that turbolinks was the root cause of the issue. The restriction on full page reloads by turbolinks prevented angular from being fully initialized. For a detailed examination of this topic, refer to the following post: Integrating angularjs with turbolinks
