ng-route does not make template requests - django

Question

I have a django backed angular app that uses angular-route to resolve the urls
I have a login system that users a factory to verify the authorisation of a user, as mentioned here.
Here is a part of my app.js file
.factory('Auth', function (){
var user;
return {
setUser : function (u)
{
user = u;
},
isLoggedIn : function()
{
var User = false;
return User;
}
}
}
)
.config(
function($routeProvider)
{
$routeProvider
.when('/login', {
templateUrl : '/login',
controller:'LoginCtrl'
})
.otherwise('/')
}
)
.run(['$rootScope', '$location', 'Auth', function ($rootScope, $location, Auth) {
$rootScope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function (event) {
if (!Auth.isLoggedIn()) {
console.log('DENY');
event.preventDefault();
$location.path('/login');
}
else {
console.log('ALLOW');
$location.path('/home');
}
});
}])
I also have a watch set in my MainCtrl.
$scope.$watch(Auth.isLoggedIn,
function(value)
{
if(!value)
{
$location.path('/login')
}
else
{
$location.path('/home')
}
})
My issue is that, the /login template is never requested, even if I manually try /#/login, no errors in console as well.
Also, the location.$path('/login') is also not executed, as page stays right at requested
URL. However, DENY gets printed in the console log.
I suspect that it is due to the app.run attribute , as the template gets rendered if I remove the run attribute.

It is simple : "login" is a state, and you forbid access to any state if the user is not logged in !
You could just change this for example :
.run(['$rootScope', '$location', 'Auth', function ($rootScope, $location, Auth) {
$rootScope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function (event, toState, fromState) {
if (!Auth.isLoggedIn() && toState == 'login' ){
console.log('ALLOW');
}
else if (!Auth.isLoggedIn() && toState != 'login') {
console.log('DENY');
event.preventDefault();
location.path('/login');
}
else {
console.log('ALLOW');
$location.path('/home');
}
});
Also if you want to see a very complete auth system in angular.js, have a glance at this :
