First, I apologize if this is common Angular knowledge or has been covered
here previously. I was struggling with this issue for a couple of
afternoons and having no luck with Google, Github, etc. before resolving it
myself through trial and error. I posted about the issue to reddit
<http://www.reddit.com/r/angularjs/comments/345kzy/problem_using_google_apis_client_library_within/>
which I'll summarize here:
I'm writing a basic Gmail clone using Angular and the Google APIs
JavaScript Client Library. Here's the flow of my application which led to
the problem:
1. Once gapi is ready, Angular prompts the user to log in using their
Google account via OAuth2.
2. Once authenticated, the user is redirected to the /inbox
view/controller, where gapi.client.gmail.uesrs.messages.list is called
to retrieve their mail (successfully).
3. If the user changes views/controllers (e.g. if I wanted to view my
/drafts)...
- API calls to the gmail object do not work after the route change
(although the object and its methods still exist).
- Other API calls (e.g. gapi.auth.getToken) continue to work as
expected.
Long story short, moving ng-view from the body to a div inside the body
seems to have resolved the issue. I thought it may have had to do with some
of my scripts (including the Client Library) being referenced from within
the body (and therefore being removed whenever ng-view was updated) but
moving these scripts into the head of the page and leaving ng-view on the
body caused the same problem.

and why it resulted in this behaviour. I'm not sure if it's a bug,
necessarily, so I figured I'd ask here first before submitting a report on
Github.
Any info on this topic would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
