The sample demo of the angular ui router has this link for the start page:
full url of 'ui-router' is / or http://angular-ui.github.io/ui-router/sample/#/
full url of 'about' is /about or http://angular-ui.github.io/ui-router/sample/#/about
When I was using durandalJS there was a limitation that the default url is just "/" there can be no "/ui-router".
Has the angular ui router plugin the same limitation?
The default route for ui-router can be whatever you want it to be, there is no limitaion like in DurandalJS. Just use:
$stateProvider
.state("otherwise", { url : '/otherwise'...})
This is the official documentaion of ui-router, however I could not find the otherwise technique in there: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/wiki
@apohi: ui-router is not angular-route. Your reply is adressing the wrong module.
$urlRouterProvider, not the name passed to .state()—unless you intend to set url: '/otherwise' on your default route…You can do it this way:
angular.module('MyApp', ['ui.router']).config([
'$stateProvider', function ($stateProvider) {
$stateProvider.state('default', {
controller: 'MyController',
templateUrl: 'path/to/index.html',
url:''
})
)];
That way whenever the url is on the root of your site ui-router will capture it on a state that matches, in this case, 'default'.
use the $urlRouterProvider and its otherwise function:
angular.module('MyApp', ['ui.router'])
.config(['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider', function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$stateProvider.state('default', {
controller: 'MyController',
templateUrl: 'path/to/template.ng.html',
url:'/default'
})
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/default')
})];
See here there is an "otherwise" option for a default route.
If you are talking about default route PARAMETERS, then there is an answer here.
otherwise function. Can you point out what is incorrect?
otherwise is an option (e.g., a property passed in on an object) instead of a function.You can use $urlRouterProvide.otherwise. This will work if you try to navigate to a route url that has not been defined.
Taken from here.
function configurUIRoutes($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('myhomepage',
{
abstract: false,
url: '/myhomepageurl',
templateUrl: "some-path/staff-admin.html",
controller: 'HomeController'
});
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/myhomepageurl'); // User will be taken to /myhomepageurl if they enter a non-matched entry into URL
}
The simplest way of all
add $urlRouterProvider service in config(function($urlRouterProvider))
and then
app.config(function ($stateProvider, $urlMatcherFactoryProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('employeesState'); //default route
$stateProvider.state('employeesState', function(){
//state configuration here
}) //employees state
$stateProvider.state('cutomersState', function(){
//state configuration here
})
}
name any of the state in otherwise function to which you want as your default state/route
