How to create a basic Angular JS app in 2023?

To create a basic AngularJS app with routing, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Set up the project

  1. Create a new directory for your project.
  2. Inside the project directory, create an HTML file (e.g., index.html) and a JavaScript file (e.g., app.js).

Step 2: Include AngularJS and the AngularJS Route library

  1. Open index.html and add the following code to include AngularJS and the AngularJS Route library:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.8.2/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.8.2/angular-route.min.js"></script>

Step 3: Create components/pages

  1. In app.js, define your AngularJS module and configure routing. Here's an example:
var app = angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute']);

app.config(function($routeProvider) {
  $routeProvider
    .when('/', {
      templateUrl: 'home.html',
      controller: 'HomeController'
    })
    .when('/about', {
      templateUrl: 'about.html',
      controller: 'AboutController'
    })
    .when('/contact', {
      templateUrl: 'contact.html',
      controller: 'ContactController'
    })
    .otherwise({
      redirectTo: '/'
    });
});

app.controller('HomeController', function($scope) {
  // Controller logic for the home page
});

app.controller('AboutController', function($scope) {
  // Controller logic for the about page
});

app.controller('ContactController', function($scope) {
  // Controller logic for the contact page
});

Step 4: Create HTML templates for components/pages

  1. Create separate HTML files for each component/page (home.html, about.html, contact.html) and define their templates.

Step 5: Set up the root element

  1. In index.html, add the following code to set up the root element and specify the main controller:
<body ng-app="myApp">
  <div ng-controller="HomeController">
    <ng-view></ng-view>
  </div>
</body>

Step 6: Start the app

  1. Open index.html in a web browser. You should see the basic AngularJS app with routing in action.
  2. Navigate to different routes using the navigation links or by directly accessing the URLs.

That's it! You have created a basic AngularJS app with routing. You can now further customize the components, add additional routes, and enhance your app based on your requirements.
