I have a node.js application running Express and express handlebars as the templating framework. I have recently started learning Angular and integrating it in my node.js app.
The only issue is, the markup for express-handlebars and angular is same. Both framework use {{}}. I did some research and found this Stackoverflow question: Using Express Handlebars and Angular JS
The accepted answer suggests changing the markup symbols using the interpolateProvider. I implemented this and it does not work for me (I have commented under that answer).
My code looks like this:
main.handlebars
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="myapp">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
<title>GETTING STARTED WITH Angular</title>
<meta name="description" content="An interactive getting started guide for Brackets.">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css"/>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.6.1/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.6.1/angular-route.min.js"></script>
<script>
var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
app.config(function($interpolateProvider) {
$interpolateProvider.startSymbol('//');
$interpolateProvider.endSymbol('//');
});
app.controller('DemoController', function() {
this.label = "This binding is brought you by // interpolation symbols.";
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
{{{body}}}
<input ng-model="name">
<h3>Hi, //name// how are you doing</h3>
<div ng-controller="DemoController as demo">
//demo.label//
</div>
</body>
</html>
The above code is from the main.handlebars layout file. I even tried to put that code in the actual view but it did not work. What am I missing?
Thanks.
This issue is occurring because of an incorrect app name reference or a simple typo. Change ng-app="myapp" to ng-app="myApp".
