 <p>Maybe your routing can be simplified as follows</p> <pre><code>angular.module("nk.login", [ 'ngRoute', 'ngAnimate' ]). config(['$stateProvider',function($stateProvider){ $stateProvider .state('app.login', { url: '/login', templateUrl: 'src/login/templates/login.html', controller: 'loginController' }) .state('app.forgotPassword', { url: '/forgot', templateUrl: 'src/login/templates/forgotPassword.html', controller: 'forgotPasswordController' }) }]); </code></pre> <p>Is there any specific reason for the views/content property?</p>
