How to get Angular2+ Router working on a Angular2+/AngularJS hybrid application?
I'm working through Angular's upgrade guide to learn how to embed AngularJS directives in an Angular app. I've created a bare-bones Angular app using the Angular CLI and added a pretty simple AngularJS module as a dependency.
Since I've added a RouterModule to Angular, I have the following error:
ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Trying to get the AngularJS injector before it being set.
Router Event: NavigationError
NavigationError(id: 1, url: '/', error: Error: Trying to get the AngularJS injector before it being set.)
NavigationError {id: 1, url: "/", error: Error: Trying to get the AngularJS injector before it being set.
at injectorFactory (http://loca…}
My guess is that the problem comes from the fact that I'm displaying some Upgraded Directive inside the Angular <router-link>
Here's how I'm upgrading my AngularJS component inside my Angular app:
// ng1.component.wrapper.ts
import { Directive, ElementRef, Injector, Input } from '@angular/core';
import { UpgradeComponent } from '@angular/upgrade/static';
@Directive({ selector: 'ng1' })
export class Ng1ComponentWrapper extends UpgradeComponent {
@Input() value1: string;
@Input() value2: string;
constructor(elementRef: ElementRef, injector: Injector) {
super('ng1', elementRef, injector);
}
}
And here's my app.module.ts:
// app.module.ts
// Import AngularJS app
import '../ng1/ng1.module';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { UpgradeModule, downgradeComponent } from '@angular/upgrade/static';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
// -----------------------------
// ---- Upgraded components ----
// -----------------------------
import { Ng1ComponentWrapper } from '../ng1/ng1.component.wrapper';
// -----------------------------
// ---- Downgrade components ----
// -----------------------------
import { NG1_APP_MODULE_NAME } from '../ng1/ng1.module';
declare var angular: any;
angular.module(NG1_APP_MODULE_NAME)
.directive('appRoot', downgradeComponent({ component: AppComponent }))
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent,
Ng1ComponentWrapper
],
imports: [
AppRoutingModule,
BrowserModule,
UpgradeModule,
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ],
})
export class AppModule {
constructor(public upgrade: UpgradeModule) {}
}
And here is the main.ts file where I bootstrap both Angular and AngularJS app
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';
import { environment } from './environments/environment';
import { NG1_APP_MODULE_NAME } from './ng1/ng1.module';
import { setUpLocationSync } from '@angular/router/upgrade';
if (environment.production) {
enableProdMode();
}
// This is the entry point for the AngularJS/Angular hybrid application.
// It bootstraps the Angular module 'AppModule', which in turn bootstraps
// the AngularJS module.
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule)
.then(ref => {
console.log('Angular app bootstrapped !')
const upgrade = (<any>ref.instance).upgrade;
upgrade.bootstrap(document.body, [NG1_APP_MODULE_NAME]);
console.log('AngularJS app bootstrapped !');
setUpLocationSync(upgrade);
})
.catch(err => console.error('An error occured while bootstrapping the Angular app', err));
Here is the main AngularJS module file ng1.module.ts
'use strict';
import 'angular';
import 'xcomponent-widgets/common-module';
import { Ng1Component } from './ng1.component';
export const NG1_APP_MODULE_NAME = 'test-webapp';
declare var angular: any;
angular.module(NG1_APP_MODULE_NAME, [
'common-module'
])
.config(['$locationProvider', ($locationProvider) => {
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
}])
.component('ng1', Ng1Component);
And finally here is my router
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { Ng1Component } from './component/ng1.component.ts';
export const appRoutes: Routes = [
{
path: 'test',
component: Ng1ComponentWrapper,
data: { title: 'Test' }
},
{ path: 'not-found', component: NotFoundComponent },
{ path: '', redirectTo: 'test', pathMatch: 'full' }, // Redirect to homepage by default
{ path: '**', redirectTo: 'not-found', pathMatch: 'full' } // If no route defined, redirect to page not found
];
@NgModule({
imports: [ RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes, { enableTracing: true, useHash: false }) ],
exports: [ RouterModule ]
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}
Ng1Component uses an upgraded directive from Ng1ComponentWrapper
I'm using Angular 7.1.4 and AngularJS 1.6.4
