So I'm trying to add routes to my angularJS app, and I'm running intro a problem where the main controller for my app stops working if I try to add 'ngRoute' to the app. Additionally, ngRoute is not working.
My code:
app.js (angular logic)
(function() {
angular.module('fccNight', ['ngRoute'])
.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'results.html'
})
.otherwise({ redirectTo: '/' });
}])
//controllers
.controller('mainController', ['$scope', '$http', function($scope, $http) {
$scope.searchTerm = '';
$scope.data = [];
$scope.loading = false;
$scope.goingNo = [];
$scope.getResults = function() {
if($scope.searchTerm !== '') {
$scope.loading = true;
$scope.data = [];
$http.get('/api/search?term=' + $scope.searchTerm)
.success(function(results) {
$scope.loading = false;
$scope.data = results;
for(var i = 0; i < $scope.data.length; i++) {
$scope.goingNo.push($scope.data[i].going);
}
});
}
}
$scope.addGoing = function(index) {
// check if user is authenticated
if($scope.data[index].going > $scope.goingNo[index]) {
$scope.data[index].going -= 1;
}
else {
$scope.data[index].going += 1;
}
// register in db
}
}])
})();
index.html's body:
<body ng-controller="mainController" id="mainController">
<!-- CONTENT -->
<div class="container">
<div class="row text-center">
<div class="col-xs-12 main">
<h1>Where are you going tonight?</h1>

<small>{{ 'Rating: ' + result.rating || 'No rating available' }}</small></h4>
<p>{{ result.text || 'No reviews for this establishment.' }}</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
As I said, if I remove all the routing logic from app.js and ng-view from index.html and just add in results.html, the app is running fine, controller is loading properly and everything is ok. But upon adding 'ngRoute' to the app, the results template doesn't load and I can't access any mainController variables or logic from index.html.
If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong please let me know. Thanks!
Edit: I just noticed the cdn for angular-route.js is not working. I can't find a download link for this library in the official site and I don't have bower so I have no idea where to get this file.
