6 * @requires ui.router.util.$urlMatcherFactoryProvider
9 * The new `$stateProvider` works similar to Angular's v1 router, but it focuses purely
12 * A state corresponds to a "place" in the application in terms of the overall UI and
13 * navigation. A state describes (via the controller / template / view properties) what
14 * the UI looks like and does at that place.
16 * States often have things in common, and the primary way of factoring out these
17 * commonalities in this model is via the state hierarchy, i.e. parent/child states aka
20 * The `$stateProvider` provides interfaces to declare these states for your app.

256 * @name ui.router.state.$stateProvider#decorator
257 * @methodOf ui.router.state.$stateProvider
260 * Allows you to extend (carefully) or override (at your own peril) the
261 * `stateBuilder` object used internally by `$stateProvider`. This can be used
262 * to add custom functionality to ui-router, for example inferring templateUrl
263 * based on the state name.
265 * When passing only a name, it returns the current (original or decorated) builder
266 * function that matches `name`.
268 * The builder functions that can be decorated are listed below. Though not all
269 * necessarily have a good use case for decoration, that is up to you to decide.
271 * In addition, users can attach custom decorators, which will generate new
272 * properties within the state's internal definition. There is currently no clear
273 * use-case for this beyond accessing internal states (i.e. $state.$current),
274 * however, expect this to become increasingly relevant as we introduce additional
275 * meta-programming features.
277 * **Warning**: Decorators should not be interdependent because the order of
278 * execution of the builder functions in non-deterministic. Builder functions
279 * should only be dependent on the state definition object and super function.
282 * Existing builder functions and current return values:
284 * - **parent** `{object}` - returns the parent state object.
285 * - **data** `{object}` - returns state data, including any inherited data that is not
286 * overridden by own values (if any).
287 * - **url** `{object}` - returns a {@link ui.router.util.type:UrlMatcher UrlMatcher}
289 * - **navigable** `{object}` - returns closest ancestor state that has a URL (aka is
291 * - **params** `{object}` - returns an array of state params that are ensured to
292 * be a super-set of parent's params.
293 * - **views** `{object}` - returns a views object where each key is an absolute view
294 * name (i.e. "viewName@stateName") and each value is the config object
295 * (template, controller) for the view. Even when you don't use the views object
296 * explicitly on a state config, one is still created for you internally.
297 * So by decorating this builder function you have access to decorating template
298 * and controller properties.
299 * - **ownParams** `{object}` - returns an array of params that belong to the state,
300 * not including any params defined by ancestor states.
301 * - **path** `{string}` - returns the full path from the root down to this state.
302 * Needed for state activation.
303 * - **includes** `{object}` - returns an object that includes every state that
304 * would pass a `$state.includes()` test.
308 * // Override the internal 'views' builder with a function that takes the state
309 * // definition, and a reference to the internal function being overridden:

557 * <pre>reloadOnSearch: false</pre>
559 * @param {object=} stateConfig.data
562 * Arbitrary data object, useful for custom configuration. The parent state's `data` is

564 * the entire subtree via prototypal inheritance.
567 * requiredRole: 'foo'
570 * @param {object=} stateConfig.params
571 * <a id='params'></a>
573 * A map which optionally configures parameters declared in the `url`, or
574 * defines additional non-url parameters. For each parameter being
575 * configured, add a configuration object keyed to the name of the parameter.
577 * Each parameter configuration object may contain the following properties:
579 * - ** value ** - {object|function=}: specifies the default value for this
580 * parameter. This implicitly sets this parameter as optional.
582 * When UI-Router routes to a state and no value is
583 * specified for this parameter in the URL or transition, the
584 * default value will be used instead. If `value` is a function,
585 * it will be injected and invoked, and the return value used.
587 * *Note*: `undefined` is treated as "no default value" while `null`
588 * is treated as "the default value is `null`".
590 * *Shorthand*: If you only need to configure the default value of the
591 * parameter, you may use a shorthand syntax. In the **`params`**
592 * map, instead mapping the param name to a full parameter configuration
593 * object, simply set map it to the default parameter value, e.g.:
595 * <pre>// define a parameter's default value
597 * param1: { value: "defaultValue" }
599 * // shorthand default values
601 * param1: "defaultValue",
602 * param2: "param2Default"
605 * - ** array ** - {boolean=}: *(default: false)* If true, the param value will be
606 * treated as an array of values. If you specified a Type, the value will be
607 * treated as an array of the specified Type. Note: query parameter values
608 * default to a special `"auto"` mode.
610 * For query parameters in `"auto"` mode, if multiple values for a single parameter
611 * are present in the URL (e.g.: `/foo?bar=1&bar=2&bar=3`) then the values
612 * are mapped to an array (e.g.: `{ foo: [ '1', '2', '3' ] }`). However, if
613 * only one value is present (e.g.: `/foo?bar=1`) then the value is treated as single
614 * value (e.g.: `{ foo: '1' }`).
617 * param1: { array: true }
620 * - ** squash ** - {bool|string=}: `squash` configures how a default parameter value is represented in the URL when
621 * the current parameter value is the same as the default value. If `squash` is not set, it uses the
622 * configured default squash policy.
623 * (See {@link ui.router.util.$urlMatcherFactory#methods_defaultSquashPolicy `defaultSquashPolicy()`})
625 * There are three squash settings:
627 * - false: The parameter's default value is not squashed. It is encoded and included in the URL
628 * - true: The parameter's default value is omitted from the URL. If the parameter is preceeded and followed
629 * by slashes in the state's `url` declaration, then one of those slashes are omitted.
630 * This can allow for cleaner looking URLs.
631 * - `"<arbitrary string>"`: The parameter's default value is replaced with an arbitrary placeholder of your choice.
635 * value: "defaultId",
638 * // squash "defaultValue" to "~"
641 * value: "defaultValue",
649 * // Some state name examples
651 * // stateName can be a single top-level name (must be unique).
652 * $stateProvider.state("home", {});
654 * // Or it can be a nested state name. This state is a child of the
655 * // above "home" state.
656 * $stateProvider.state("home.newest", {});
658 * // Nest states as deeply as needed.

821 * @name ui.router.state.$state#go
822 * @methodOf ui.router.state.$state
825 * Convenience method for transitioning to a new state. `$state.go` calls
826 * `$state.transitionTo` internally but automatically sets options to
827 * `{ location: true, inherit: true, relative: $state.$current, notify: true }`.
828 * This allows you to easily use an absolute or relative to path and specify
829 * only the parameters you'd like to update (while letting unspecified parameters
830 * inherit from the currently active ancestor states).
834 * var app = angular.module('app', ['ui.router']);

837 * $scope.changeState = function () {

842 * <img src='../ngdoc_assets/StateGoExamples.png'/>
844 * @param {string} to Absolute state name or relative state path. Some examples:
846 * - `$state.go('contact.detail')` - will go to the `contact.detail` state
847 * - `$state.go('^')` - will go to a parent state
848 * - `$state.go('^.sibling')` - will go to a sibling state
849 * - `$state.go('.child.grandchild')` - will go to grandchild state
851 * @param {object=} params A map of the parameters that will be sent to the state,
852 * will populate $stateParams. Any parameters that are not specified will be inherited from currently
853 * defined parameters. This allows, for example, going to a sibling state that shares parameters
854 * specified in a parent state. Parameter inheritance only works between common ancestor states, I.e.
855 * transitioning to a sibling will get you the parameters for all parents, transitioning to a child
856 * will get you all current parameters, etc.
857 * @param {object=} options Options object. The options are:
859 * - **`location`** - {boolean=true|string=} - If `true` will update the url in the location bar, if `false`
860 * will not. If string, must be `"replace"`, which will update url and also replace last history record.
861 * - **`inherit`** - {boolean=true}, If `true` will inherit url parameters from current url.
862 * - **`relative`** - {object=$state.$current}, When transitioning with relative path (e.g '^'),
863 * defines which state to be relative from.
864 * - **`notify`** - {boolean=true}, If `true` will broadcast $stateChangeStart and $stateChangeSuccess events.
865 * - **`reload`** (v0.2.5) - {boolean=false}, If `true` will force transition even if the state or params
866 * have not changed, aka a reload of the same state. It differs from reloadOnSearch because you'd
867 * use this when you want to force a reload when *everything* is the same, including search params.
869 * @returns {promise} A promise representing the state of the new transition.
871 * Possible success values:
875 * <br/>Possible rejection values:
877 * - 'transition superseded' - when a newer transition has been started after this one
878 * - 'transition prevented' - when `event.preventDefault()` has been called in a `$stateChangeStart` listener
879 * - 'transition aborted' - when `event.preventDefault()` has been called in a `$stateNotFound` listener or
880 * when a `$stateNotFound` `event.retry` promise errors.
881 * - 'transition failed' - when a state has been unsuccessfully found after 2 tries.
882 * - *resolve error* - when an error has occurred with a `resolve`
