AngularJS with bootstrap 3 accordion not working when included via ng-view

Question

The problem is the following: As soon as I use the accordion in a view that is loaded in the ng-view directive, the accordion title clicks dont work correctly anymore

If the accordion is use in the page itself with no ng-view, the accordion works perfectly

Any clue to what Im missing?

Solution 1

The problem is that Bootstrap appends #according_name within a a tag. This triggers a AngularJS routing and due to route change test.html is loaded again on every click on accordian link.

Your options are to try to configure $locationProvider to use HTML5 mode with hashbag if it works

$locationProvider.html5Mode(true).hashPrefix('!');

See some documentation here

Other would be to use angular-ui component but it has been not ported to support version 3 of bootstrap.

Solution 2

Actually, there might be a simpler solution.

You can just make sure that the links don't propagate the URL change.

Add to the a tag onclick="return false;"

Solution 3

You can empty the href="" and use

data-target="#collapse" instead, this worked for me

i.e

<a data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" href="" 
data-target="#collapse1">Collapsible Group 1</a>

Solution 4

I was having an issue using href and data-target together, so if you are using this in an application I'd recommend specifying one or the other but not both.

When I used both, I'd get redirected to my login page as soon as I clicked on it. With one or the other specified it worked fine, but not with both.

This worked for me. It might not be the best practice but I've been stuck with this for a few hours now. Thanks @mfloryan!

Looks like the documentation that you added is no longer available. Could you add another link?

@CodedContainer please check now.

+10 if a could. This should be the accepted answer! Non-intrusive in general app config as html5Mode and a good practice using the same attribute for others similar components

After trying lots of things, this was the solution for me!

+1 This helped me a lot, I was getting weird behavior with my accordion even after switching into html5 mode (and rewriting my expressJS urls) -- adding data-target and emptying my href remedied all the odd accordion behavior -- thank you greatly!
