Default state

[stasgrom]

Hi,

in angular.js there's a possibility to configure the default route (using $routeProvider.otherwise() API). Is there anything in ui-route that can be used to achieve similar functionality? I need this to ensure the customer that opens the URL without the path part will automatically be redirected to a default state.

Thanks.

$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/') // or whatever the URL of your default state is (the state needs to be declared separately)

Thanks!

Can you describe this to me please?
Should I add new argument ($urlRouterProvider) to my .config function?

Yes you'll need to inject $urlRouterProvider into your config function along with $stateProvider. Use $sP to set up all your states and then $uRP to set up a single otherwise.

$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/"); // this will send any non-valid url back to "/'
or
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/myhomeurl"); // this will send any non-valid url back to "/myhomeurl', assuming thats the entry point of your app

This isn't exactly working for me.

@bkuhl, I responded on SO -- I think the issue is more with angular than
ui-router.
