AngularJs (1.X) Include Partial Template

One way of including templates/html fragments from external files is to use the ng-include directive (doc).

<ng-include src="'/path/to/the/header.html'"></ng-include>

or

<div ng-include src="'/path/to/the/header.html'"></div>

From Angular 2, ngInclude has been removed and custom directives are preferred. This is the way I come up with

  1. Define the main component for your app, which link to the master page

        @View({
            templateUrl:   'client/app/layout/main.html',
            directives: [ROUTER_DIRECTIVES, Navigation, Footer]
        })
        @Component({selector: 'app'})
        @RouteConfig(
            routerConfig
        )
        class MainComponent {
        }
    

And this is the main template

<!---- Navigation bar ---->
<navigation></navigation>
<!----/ Navigation bar ---->

<!---- Main Part ---->
<router-outlet>
</router-outlet>
<!----/ Main Part ---->

<!---- Footer ---->
<footer></footer>
<!----/ Footer ---->
  1. Define a base.html, which will contain the body tag and the app tag

<body> <app>Loading ...</app> </body>

  1. Now, final step is defining the components for Navigation and Footer like the MainComponent, which point to your partial templates
