Same data in multiple views using AngularJS

Question

Maybe there is someone who can help me a little bit. I have to share data between multiple views. Because it is a school project, I have to use AngularJS, but I am new to it and

Since you are new to angularjs an easier approach would be to use $rootScope to share data between your controllers (and the views associated with them).

Here is an example:

angular.module('MyApp', [])

.config(['$routeProvider', function ($routeProvider) {
  $routeProvider
    .when('/', {
      templateUrl: '/views/main.html',
      controller: 'MainCtrl'
    })
    .when('/first-page', {
      templateUrl: '/views/first.html',
      controller: 'FirstCtrl'
    })
    .when('/second-page', {
      templateUrl: '/views/second.html',
      controller: 'SecondCtrl'
    });
}])

.controller('MainCtrl', ['$rootScope', function ($rootScope) {
  // Will be available everywhere in your app
  $rootScope.users = [
    { name: 'Foo' },
    { name: 'Bar' }
  ];
}])

.controller('FirstCtrl', ['$rootScope', '$scope' function ($rootScope, $scope) {
  // Only available inside first.html
  $scope.bazUser = { name: 'Baz' };
  // Add to global
  $rootScope.users.push($scope.bazUser);
}])

.controller('SecondCtrl', ['$rootScope', '$scope' function ($rootScope, $scope) {
  console.log($rootScope.users); // [{ name: 'Foo' }, { name: 'Bar' }, { name: 'Baz' }];
}]);

inside second.html for example

  
{{user.name}}
