here is my html file

 <style>
            #slides_control > div{
                height: 200px;
            }
            img{
                margin:auto;
                width: 400px;
            }
            #slides_control {
                position:absolute;
                width: 400px;
                left:50%;
                top:20px;
                margin-left:-200px;
            }
            .carousel-control.right {
                background-image: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(0, 0, 0, .0001) 0%, rgba(237, 232, 232, 0.5) 100%) !important;
            }
            .carousel-control.left {
                background-image: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(249, 248, 248, 0.5) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, .0001) 100%) !important;
            }
        </style>
<div id="Carousel" class="carousel slide">
    <ol class="carousel-indicators">
        <li data-target="Carousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
        <li data-target="Carousel" data-slide-to="1"></li>
        <li data-target="Carousel" data-slide-to="2"></li>
    </ol>
    <div class="carousel-inner">
        <div class="item active">
            <img src="images/sliders/main_page_slider/PhoneApp_Website_Home_41.png" class="img-responsive">
        </div>
        <div class="item">
            <img src="images/sliders/main_page_slider/PhoneApp_Website_Home_45.png" class="img-responsive">
        </div>
        <div class="item">
            <img src="images/sliders/main_page_slider/PhoneApp_Website_Home_49.png" class="img-responsive">
        </div>
    </div>
    <a class="left carousel-control" href="#Carousel" data-slide="prev">
        <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span>
    </a>
    <a class="right carousel-control" href="#Carousel" data-slide="next">
        <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span>
    </a>
</div>

my controller is

'use strict';

angular.module('myhApp') .controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope) { });

here is my app.js

angular
  .module('myhApp', [
    'ngAnimate',
    'ngCookies',
    'ngResource',
    'ngRoute',
    'ngSanitize',
    'ngTouch',
    'ui.bootstrap'
  ])
  .config(function ($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider
      .when('/', {
        templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
        controller: 'MainCtrl'
      })
      .when('/about', {
        templateUrl: 'views/about.html',
        controller: 'AboutCtrl'
      })
      .otherwise({
        redirectTo: '/'
      });
  });

I am not sure whats causing it. Any help will be appreciated.

** Some findings recently **

ok I did some digging around and found out that I have to have carousel in the dom for directive (as the error indicates). When I add carousel, the error goes away but my carousel doesnt work anymore and looks wonky as well.

Here is the change that I made to html

<div id="Carousel" class="carousel slide" carousel>

here is how it looks and you can see there is an extra arrow in the cats face. I am not sure whats going..any help will be apprecitaed

Solution 1

I was able to solve the conflict by adding the ng-non-bindable to the elements that have the data-slide directive. see below:

  <a data-slide="prev" href="#clients-slider" ng-non-bindable class="left carousel-control">‹</a>

Solution 2

data-slide is used by both Bootstrap and ui.bootstrap so there is a conflict here. If you want to use the plain Bootstrap carousel method you can tell angular to ignore a DOM element and it's children.

To do that insert ngNonBindable into the appropriate Dom element.

Solution 3

As per gooseman's answer on SO:

angular.module('ui.bootstrap.carousel', ['ui.bootstrap.transition'])
.controller('CarouselController', ['$scope', '$timeout', '$transition', '$q', function ($scope, $timeout, $transition, $q) {
}]).directive('carousel', [function() { 
    return { }
}]);

Solution 4

I have the same problem and I don't know why but if you delete in your HTML data-slide="prev" and data-slide="next" the error disappears.

Solution 5

Just remove ui.bootstrap from the list of modules if you don't need it.

The explanation comes from Melvin Gruesbeck answer. There is a conflict if you use both Bootstrap and Angular-UI-Bootstrap. It can be solved using @ozkary example, instead of surrendering to remove the data-slide attributes ;)

Other answers referring to the ng-non-bindable attribute didn't work for me. This did work. Thanks!

[Yasitha Waduge]

This answer looks promising, however, once non bindable added, functionality of left right arrows stops. Not sure why..

[ozkary]

since the ng-non-bindable directive removes the ui-bootstrap conflict, the problem can be with how the bootstrap carousel is defined on your page. follow this link for a simple example: w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_carousel.asp

Thanks a lot .. After 1 hour of struggle with code .. Landed up here ..and Whollla solved in just a sec

[elpiel]

Thank you! I found the ng-non-bindable, but it was still not working correctly because of the href. Thank you!
