Nested dynamic states

[ncuillery]

Hi,

I think we have two problems here: misleading representation of inheritance between states and a real bug.

First, state inheritance: Labels are interpolated against the scope of the current state controller (for a single view state). It means that your root.ui.container.category must have the category name attach to the scope (of course) but also the container name if you want it in the breadcrumb. See the UI-router doc about states inheritance.

Then, the bug:
When a state have multiple views, each view triggers the interpolation of labels against its own scope. In the root.ui.container.category.scenario, the breadcrumb is lastly triggered by the view [email protected] which has no information in its scope (scenario.name, category.name and container.name). That's why the breadcrumb is empty.

What's happen if you remove the view [email protected] in the root.ui.container.category.scenario state ? The breadcrumb should display at least the correct label for the root.ui.container.category.scenario state.

Please confirm my hypothesis is good and I'll start examining the bug.

PS: I love your country

I tried setting the labels for container, category and scenario in every single controller but that didn't work. However if i put

data: {
    ncyBreadcrumbLabel: '{{$stateParams.scenarioName}}'
}

The url encoded scenario name will appear as the breadcrumb label. The same happens if i do it with categories and containers.

As you suggested I removed the [email protected] block from the state definition but it didn't change anything in the breadcrumbs. The label for scenario didn't appear.

P.S: It's all right but way over-hyped :)

Hmm, that's curious.

I made this plunker where I copy/paste your configuration. The only changes I have made are:

• Replace templateUrl by inline test templates
• Remove the second view of the scenario state

In the controllers (scenarioCtrl & categoryCtrl), I load the underlying entities (container & category). And the breadcrumb works.

Is it that way you set the labels for container, category and scenario in every single controller ?
Feel free to fork and edit the plunker to reveal your problem. (I prefer keep the multiple view problem for later, one thing after another).

I close this issue to keep the bug tracker clear.

Feel free to reopen this issue is your problem is still here.

Please note that the issue about multiple views is still pending. I keep trace of it here: #62
