Question

I have an AngularJS app that I’m trying to get working with a Rails rest api. I am to the point where all the javascript seems to be loading without errors, but some templates don’t seem to be included properly when I use ng-include. Here is an example:

<div ng-include="'<%= asset_path('header.tpl.html') %>'"></div>

When this section loads, I never see any attempt to load the specified template in the browser console. Any suggestions as to why the template isn’t getting requested?

Answer 1

You have conflicting single quotes.

If you need to dynamically change what will be in the ng-include, try setting the value programmatically and then just pass that variable to the ng-include.

<div ng-include="templatePath"></div>

<script>$scope.templatePath = "header.tpl.html";</script>

Later in the code you can change the value of $scope.templatePath to whatever other file you need.
