AngularJS UI Bootstrap Tabs that support routing

Question

I would like to use AngularJS UI Bootstrap Tabs in my project, but I need it to support routing.

For example:

Tab         URL
--------------------
Jobs       /jobs
Invoices   /invoices
Payments   /payments

As far as I can tell from the source code, the current tabs and pane directives doesn't support routing.

What would be the best way to add routing?

Answer 1

To add routing you typically use an ng-view directive. I'm not sure it's easy enough to modify angular UI to support what you're looking for, but here's a plunker showing roughly what i think you're looking for (it's not necessarily the best way of doing it - hopefully someone can give you a better solution or improve on this)

Answer 2

Use data-target="#tab1". Worked for me

Answer 3

我也有这个要求，我正在做类似于Chris提供的答案，但我也使用AngularUI路由器 ，因为ngRouter不支持嵌套视图，你可能会在另一个视图中有标签内容视图（我做了），这不适用于ng-view。

Answer 5

you could pass your own custom key value pairs in the route definition and achieve this. here's a good example: http://www.bennadel.com/blog/2420-Mapping-AngularJS-Routes-Onto-URL-Parameters-And-Client-Side-Events.htm

Answer 6

Agree with the use of UI-Router which tracks states and works great with nested views. Speaking particularly of your Bootstrap tabs issue there is a great implementation that leverages UI Router: UI-Router Tabs

Answer 7

If you have a route called settings and you want to have tabs in that settings page something like this works.

<div class="right-side" align="center">
    <div class="settings-body">
        <ul class="nav nav-tabs">
          <li class="active"><a data-toggle="tab" href="#!/settings#private_email">Private email</a></li>
          <li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#!/settings#signature">Signature</a></li>
          <li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#menu2">Menu 2</a></li>
        </ul>

        <div class="tab-content">
          <div id="private_email" class="tab-pane fade in active">
            <div class="row" ng-controller="SettingsController">
                <div>
                   <button class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="activatePrivateEmail()">Activate email</button>
                   <button class="btn btn-danger">Deactivate email</button>
                </div>
            </div>
          </div>
          <div id="signature" class="tab-pane fade">
              <textarea ui-tinymce="tinymceOptions" ng-model="signature"></textarea>
              <div class="send-btn">
                <button name="send" ng-click="" class="btn btn-primary">Save signature</button>
              </div>
          </div>
          <div id="menu2" class="tab-pane fade">
            <h3>Menu 2</h3>
            <p>Some content in menu 2.</p>
          </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

just a small add to accepted answer: i needed to keep the current tab at page refresh so i used a switch like this:

$scope.tabs = [
            { link : '#/furnizori', label : 'Furnizori' },
            { link : '#/total', label : 'Total' },
            { link : '#/clienti', label : 'Clienti' },
            { link : '#/centralizator', label : 'Centralizator' },
            { link : '#/optiuni', label : 'Optiuni' }
        ];

        switch ($location.path()) {
            case '/furnizori':
                $scope.selectedTab = $scope.tabs[0];
                break;

            case '/total':
                $scope.selectedTab = $scope.tabs[1];
                break;

            case '/clienti':
                $scope.selectedTab = $scope.tabs[2];
                break;

            case '/centralizator':
                $scope.selectedTab = $scope.tabs[3];
                break;

            case '/optiuni':
                $scope.selectedTab = $scope.tabs[4];
                break;

            default:
                $scope.selectedTab = $scope.tabs[0];
                break;
        }

I got tabs with routing working the following way.

It's able to do everything you want from dynamic tabs, and it's actually very simple.

• Tabs with a ui-view , so it can dynamically load templates,
• Update routing in URL
• Set history state
• When directly navigating to a route with a tabbed view, the correct tab is marked as active .

---

Define the tabs with a parameter in your router

.state('app.tabs', {
    url         : '/tabs',
    template    : template/tabs.html,
})
.state('app.tabs.tab1', {
    url         : '/tab1',
    templateUrl : 'template/tab1.html',
    params      : {
        tab         : 'tab1'
    }
})
.state('app.visitors.browser.analytics', {
    url         : '/tab1',
    templateUrl : 'template/tab2.html',
    params      : {
        tab         : 'tab2'
    }
})

The tabs template (tabs.html) is

<div ng-controller="TabCtrl as $tabs">
    <uib-tabset active="$tabs.activeTab">
        <uib-tab heading="This is tab 1" index="'tab1'" ui-sref="app.tabs.tab1"></uib-tab>
        <uib-tab heading="This is tab 2" index="'tab2'" ui-sref="app.tabs.tab2"></uib-tab>
    </uib-tabset>
    <div ui-view></div>
</div>

Which is paired with a very simple controller for getting the current active tab:

app.controller('TabCtrl', function($stateParams) {
    this.activeTab = $stateParams.tab;
})

This aught to be able to do what you want:
