hi,
*Description*
Every single view in my app is a view of a certain "item" from the
database, and each of those views may need to display "subviews" of
subitems, though it's the data of those subitems themselves that determine
what kind of subview that becomes.
And this process can repeat itself several levels deep.
*Example (skip when in hurry)*
I see in the database that for the homepage I need to display
"collection_1".
I also see that "collection_1" has 3 items: 2 of type "category" and 1 of
type "specialCategory".
So I tell the collection to display itself. The collection then looks at
its type ("Collection"), and sees that this type that comes with a default
viewtype "Grid".
So the grid template is loaded, which creates some basic HTML for the grid,
and then tells each of the items (categories in this case) to represent
themselves.
So here again, these categories will look at their types, and the special
category will pick a different view/template then the normal "category"
items.
*Problem*
I'm just getting started with Angular and I'm wondering what the best way
would be to set this up.
I've read about all the basics, i.e.: controllers, directives, ng-view,
ng-include,
routing..
I've also read several articles about nested
views<http://www.bennadel.com/blog/2441-Nested-Views-Routing-And-Deep-Linking-With-AngularJS.htm>,
deep linking an ng-switch...
*The solution I'm thinking off*
is to create a directive myView so that I can simply put in <myView
of="collection_1">, where the directive will look at the data of the model
and determine what kind of view to use.
It should then replace <myView> with the actual HTML of the view.
*What I'm not sure of is *
- if this setup will create performance issues if I have many <myView> tags
that need to be replaced an in turn my have their own <myView> tags of
their sub items (besides the obvious issues with having to load from the
database)
- what the best way would be to have directive dynamically pick a template
and replace the <myView> with that template and it's controller.
To those that will say "just try" be sure I will do just that ...
though for those that read all this and have some sort of advice on 'the
right / best way to go' it would be very much appreciated!
