I'm currently trying to build a "web app" that runs off a flash drive, thus there can't be any other environment requires that launching chrome with some launch options and a path to the index.html file on the flash drive.
I'm having some trouble getting angularJS to play nicely when loading files with the file:// protocol and not through a web server.
I've gotten it to load local resources ( like a video) by setting html5 mode to true but I currently am unable to use the route provider.
Here's what I have: var testApp = angular.module("testApp", ['angular-underscore', "ngRoute", "com.2fdevs.videogular"]);
testApp.config(function($locationProvider, $routeProvider) {
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
$routeProvider.when('/', {template: '/views/MainView.html', controller: "VideoPlayerController" })
.otherwise({redirectTo:'/'});;
});
Whenever I load up my index.html file in Chrome by double clicking the file, the url starts with as "file://". This also happens when I launch via command line with the essential option "--allow-file-access-from-files".
How do I get the routeProvider to work as intended with file://? It currently isn't recognizing even the "otherwise" route unless I add the following to my head tag in index.html
<base href="/index.html">
But that ends up with
file:///
in the URL field of Chrome. All other resources fail to load. Below is an example of the error I'm seeing with just one controller combo.
GET file:///index.html net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
Thanks SO! (I know all my problems would disappear if I was willing to use a webserver but I'm not allowed to on this project at the moment)
