Create state without component?

[vacarsu]

I'm trying to create a state without a component. The error I get is:

Failed to instantiate module vdexter due to:
Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module angular-meteor due to:
Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: $urlRouterProvider

the state I'm trying to create:

@State({ 
  name: 'home', 
  url: '/home' 
})

@Inject([])
class home {
  constructor() {
  }
}

and how do I add a view to the state, since templateUrl doesn't seem to work in @ State

Did you do the following?

meteor add angularui:angular-ui-router

And in your code

SetModule('myApp', ['angular-meteor', 'ui.router']);

[vacarsu]

Yes I have ui router installed and I have SetModule in my app.es6.js file. I think it was a load order issue, I made app.es6.js load first by putting it in /client/lib, now I get Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module vdexter due to: TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

[pbastowski]

Do a

meteor update

on your project. I've made a small change that should fix things for you.

And then have a look at this: http://jsbin.com/tipeqa/edit?html,js,output for a working example.

SetModule('my-app', ['ui.router']);

@State({ 
  name: 'root', url: '', defaultRoute: 1, 
  templateUrl: 'root.html'
})
class rootRoute {
  constructor() {
    console.log('Root Route');
  }
}

bootstrap(rootRoute);

I ran meteor update and added templateUrl, still getting the following error.

Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module vdexter due to:

I put up a repo so you can see how I am doing this. I'm probably just missing something. Still getting used to meteor, and your library. https://github.com/vacarsu/vdexter

[pbastowski]

If you push your repo to github then i can have a look at what's wrong.
Did you look at the link I sent you earlier. It actually works.

[vacarsu]

I sent the link in the previous comment do you not have access to see it? I did look at the example and I have it setup up like that not sure where the error is coming from.

[pbastowski]

Sorry, I'm not at the computer now :)

[vacarsu]

That's okay no rush. I'll keep messing around with it maybe I'll figure it out.

[pbastowski]

OK, so the reason you get the error is because you have an @Inject with an empty list :) Omit the @Inject until you have something that should be injected, see below.

[vacarsu]

Hah okay thanks for your help works perfectly now. :)

[pbastowski]

I have pushed a fix for the above error. So, if you provide @Inject with an empty array it will just ignore it.

meteor update

[vacarsu]

Is there any other reason why I would be getting TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined again? it just randomly started happening again with or without @Inject I updated the repo if you want to check.

[vacarsu]

It seems if I update to angular2-now from 0.2.9 to 0.3.1 the update doesn't take. I've tried from the command line and by hand in the versions file.

edit: I got it updated to the most recent version by removing the package and reinstalling it. If I remove @Inject or leave it blank it works fine, but as soon as I actually inject something I get that error.

[pbastowski]

@vacarsu good pickup :) Thanks for reporting this new error. I have fixed it and pushed version 0.3.2.

Regarding updating to new package versions, before doing a meteor update I always stop Meteor first. Then, I update and start Meteor again. I do this, because it is my experience that if Meteor is running and I do a meteor update, the update doesn't seem to take with any package. Even though Meteor says it has upgraded.

[vacarsu]

Okay I will start stopping meteor before updating. And thanks for the quick updates!
