Multi Module Support

[naxmefy]

example:

- appFolder
- - app.js
- - submodule1Folder
- - - submodule1.js
- - - index.tpl.html
- - submodule2Folder
- - - submodule2.js
- - - index.tpl.html

Problem here - index.html in templateCache can only be once...that is a big problem Oo

Hi @Naxmeify. That's true, within a module you can only have a single index.html template. That's not to say you can't have several index.html templates each in their own functional module though. My projects tend to look like this:

• myApp
  • common
    • directives.js
    • services.js
    • templates
  • foo
    • module.js
    • controllers.js
    • services.js
    • templates
      • index.tpl.html
  • bar
    • module.js
    • controllers.js
    • services.js
    • templates
      • index.tpl.html

I think you can probably avoid the name collisions, but it's certainly not an unreasonable request. I could add a setting like includeFullPath so the plugin would produce something like this:

angular.module('myApp.foo').run(['$templateCache', function($templateCache) {
    $templateCache.put('/my-app/foo/index.html', '<h1>Foo!</h1>');
}]);

angular.module('myApp.bar').run(['$templateCache', function($templateCache) {
    $templateCache.put('/my-app/bar/index.html', '<h1>Bar!</h1>');
}]);

Would that work?

Something like this would be perfect.

Suggestions:

• .html can be removed
• the module name could be infront file name separated with dot (module.index.html)
• a new trick for templatecache to separate templates per module xD

@Naxmeify ok, cool. I'll include this option in the next release (hopefully sometime this week).

I appreciate the feedback. I'm going back and forth on the .html part, but I'm pretty set on the path instead of module name in the name.

I think in using the path that it's a bit more obvious where the template file is (or where it should be in the case of a misspelled file name).

Ok, I just pushed a new release. The new config setting is includePathInName.

Give version 1.4.0 a spin and see if it does the trick for you.
