I have created a simple app using AngularJS. When I open the page for a second I see the screen below:

However, after the load is complete I see the loaded and styled content which is fine:

How do I prevent the flash of AngularJS code on my page ? Is this related to FOUC ?

Here is the HTML code:

<!doctype html>
<html class="no-js" lang="en" ng-app="MainApp">

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Foundation | Welcome</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/foundation.css" />
    <script src="js/vendor/modernizr.js"></script>

    <style>
    .row.full-width {
        width: 100%;
        margin-left: auto;
        margin-right: auto;
        max-width: initial;
    }
    </style>

</head>

EDIT:

Please see my answer as well for an alternative solution in addition to the accepted one.

Solution

  • ng-cloak will help to some extent, but you can fully prevent it using ng-bind directive instead of using {{ }}.

    e.g. 

    <td ng-bind="val.monthly"> </td>

    not 

    <td>{{val.monthly}}</td>
