AngularJS + Angular UI Router: templateUrl return Blank Page

I'm just starting learning the angularjs and I want to use it for creating a ui template. I want to make a static HEADER and FOOTER and the only thing that will be dynamic is the CONTENT. My issue is that my It returns me a blank web page.

Thanks in advance guys.

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html data-ng-app="app">
<head>
	<meta charset="utf-8">
	<title>UI-Router</title>
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="">

	<!-- START LOAD VENDORS -->
	<script src="js/jquery/jquery.min.js"></script>

	<script src="js/angular/angular.min.js"></script>
	<script src="js/angular/angular-ui-router.min.js"></script>
	<!-- END LOAD VENDORS -->

	<!-- START LOAD SOURCE CODE -->
	<script src="js/app.js"></script>
	<!-- END LOAD SOURCE CODE -->

</head>
<body ui-view>
</body>

</html>

app.js

var app = angular.module('app', ['ui.router'])

app.config(['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider',

function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
	
		$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/');

		$stateProvider
			.state('index',{
				abstract: true,
				url: '/index',
				templateUrl: 'view/app.html'
			})
	}])

view/header.html

<ul>
	<li>US</li>
	<li>626.205.3838</li>
	<li>[email protected]</li>
	<li>Search</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li>Facebook</li>
	<li>Twitter</li>
	<li>Instagram</li>
	<li>LinkedIn</li>
</ul>

view/footer.html

<div>

	<span>name here</span>
	<span>partner</span>
	<span>subscribe</span>

	<ul>
		<h3>get to know us</h3>
		<li>blog</li>

You cannot transition to an abstract state

i've created a working plnkr here: https://plnkr.co/edit/yRazozMjTM99tCKFFmIl?p=preview

$stateProvider
    .state('index',{
        url: '/',
        templateUrl: 'view/app.html'
    })

The correct way to do this is to have separate ui-view directives for your header, content and the footer.

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="app">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>UI-Router</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="">

    <!-- START LOAD VENDORS -->
    <script src="js/jquery/jquery.min.js"></script>

    <script src="js/angular/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src="js/angular/angular-ui-router.min.js"></script>
    <!-- END LOAD VENDORS -->

    <!-- START LOAD SOURCE CODE -->
    <script src="js/app.js"></script>
    <!-- END LOAD SOURCE CODE -->

</head>
<body>
    <div ui-view="header">
    <div ui-view="content">
    <div ui-view="footer">
</body>
</html>

Define the template for each ui-view in the state config function and remove the abstract: true option. More on it here: what is the purpose of use abstract state?

app.js

var app = angular.module('app', ['ui.router'])

app.config(['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider',

function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {

        $urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/');

        $stateProvider
            .state('index',{
                url: '/index',
                views: {
                    'header': {
                        templateUrl: 'view/header.html'
                    },
                    'content': {
                        templateUrl: 'view/app.html'
                    },
                    'footer': {
                        templateUrl: 'view/footer.html'
                    }
                }
            })
    }])

Also wrap your header.html code in a div tag.

header.html

<div>
    <ul>
        <li>US</li>
        <li>626.205.3838</li>
        <li>[email protected]</li>
        <li>Search</li>
    </ul>
    <ul>
        <li>Facebook</li>
        <li>Twitter</li>
        <li>Instagram</li>
        <li>LinkedIn</li>
    </ul>
</div>

Now the header and footer will remain fixed and you can change your content based on states by adding other state like this:

.state('index.two',{
    url: '/index/two',
    views: {
        'content@': {
            templateUrl: 'view/two.html'
        }
    }
})

Try using the ui-view element directive. And make sure you are referring the template correctly

<body>
  <ui-view></ui-view>
</body>
