Templateurl Vs Template In Angularjs

I think for routing, templateUrl should always be used over template. But for a directive, when should templateUrl be used instead of template? I see some people use chunks of HTML

Solution 1:

It cones down to preference, really. In general I agree with you, and more complex markup always makes more sense in a separate template due to ease of editing.

Solution 2:

I wrote a blog post about this: http://www.smarpshare.com/angular-template-vs-templateurl-the-move-toward-true-modular-development/ . In a nutshell, I find it is better to use dependency management system and template to organize your Angular project; it will help you to migrate to Angular 2 too!

Solution 3:

If you using lots of template in your project like SPA application with huge html rendered going on inside each template and of-course if you want to manage your application well for future then keep it separate.
