I'm trying to bine Angular 1.5, UI Router using ES6 import modules syntax with Babel & Webpack.
In my app.js I have:
'use strict';
import angular from 'angular';
import uiRouter from 'angular-ui-router';
...
import LoginCtrl from './login/login.ctrl.js'
const app = angular.module("app", [
uiRouter,
...
])
.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('login', {
url: '/login',
templateUrl: '...',
controller: LoginCtrl,
controllerAs: 'login'
})
});
In login/login.ctrl.js I have:
'use strict';
export default app.controller("LoginCtrl", function() {
//code here
});
When I started my app I have following error message:
ReferenceError: app is not defined
bundle.js:35422:2
Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module app due to:
[$injector:nomod] Module 'app' is not available! You either misspelled the module name or forgot to load it.
And second question. How can I use controller: "loginCtrl as login" syntax with ES6 import/export?

Reset to default 11You are referring to 'app' variable inside your 'login/login.ctrl.js' but the variable is not defined (because you are importing the controller before defining it).
EDIT: Anyway each module has its own scope so you can't refer to variable from different module this way.
The solution I have in my mind is following:
Inside 'login/login.ctrl.js' create new module
'use strict'; import angular from 'angular'; angular.module('ctrlsModule', []) .controller('LoginCtrl', function () { });
Add the module as dependence of your main 'app' module
'use strict'; import angular from 'angular'; import uiRouter from 'angular-ui-router'; ... import './login/login.ctrl.js'; angular.module('app', [uiRouter, 'ctrlsModule', ...]) .config(function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) { $stateProvider .state('login', { url: '/login', templateUrl: '...', controller: 'LoginCtrl', controllerAs: 'login' }); });
I haven't tested the code but I believe you can see what I mean. Not sure what you mean with the second question but controllerAs
in ES6 should work the same way as in ES5.
