This is probably simple but I can't find anything in the docs and googling didn't help. I'm trying to define a state in $stateProvider
where the URL I need to hit on the server to pull the needed data depends on a state URL parameter. In short, something like:
.state('recipes.category', {
url: '/:cat',
templateUrl: '/partials/recipes.category.html',
controller: 'RecipesCategoryCtrl',
resolve: {
category: function($http) {
return $http.get('/recipes/' + cat)
.then(function(data) { return data.data; });
}
}
})
The above doesn't work. I tried injecting $routeParams
to get the needed cat
parameter, with no luck. What's the right way of doing this?
You were close with $routeParams
. If you use ui-router use $stateParams
instead.
This code works for me:
.state('recipes.category', {
url: '/:cat',
templateUrl: '/partials/recipes.category.html',
controller: 'RecipesCategoryCtrl',
resolve: {
category: ['$http','$stateParams', function($http, $stateParams) {
return $http.get('/recipes/' + $stateParams.cat)
.then(function(data) { return data.data; });
}]
}
})
For those who are using ui-router 1.0 $stateParams
is deprecated, you should use $transition$
object instead:
.state('recipes.category', {
url: '/:cat',
templateUrl: '/partials/recipes.category.html',
controller: 'RecipesCategoryCtrl',
resolve: {
category: ['$http','$transition$', function($http, $transition$) {
return $http.get('/recipes/' + $transition$.params().cat)
.then(function(data) { return data.data; });
}]
}
})
