Interface Controller

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractController

public interface Controller

Provides an interface for AngularJS's controller objects. While AngularJS does not require the users to declare their controllers to be controllers, GWT Angular clarifies the roles of the controllers by requiring that the controller implementations to support at least one method, onControllerLoad().

User defined controllers supporting this interface must be registered with the user's module in order for it to be visible to the framework. For example,

 public class MyModule extends AbstractModule implements EntryPoint {
   public void onModuleLoad() {
     Angular.module(this);
     controller(MyController.class);
   }
 }
 
 class MyController implements Controller {
   String name;
   public void onControllerLoad() {
     name = "World!";
   }
   public String getName() {
     return name;
   }
 }

Method Detail

onControllerLoad

void onControllerLoad()

This method is called when the user supplied controller is loaded by the framework. The method is similar to the JavaScript constructor for controllers, which is called by the AngularJS framework, though the binding of properties and functions to the $scope is handled by GWT Angular, rather than requiring the user to write the binding by hand.

This reduces the need for custom implementation of onControllerLoad(), and hence an no-op implementation of this method is provided by AbstractController.
