i'm developing an application in AngularJS. Basically, i have a "home" page and a "new project". In the home page i have a menu with a link to "new project".
I configured the $stateProvider as follows :
$stateProvider.state('home', {
url: '/',
templateUrl: 'partials/home.jsp'
}).state('newproject', {
url: '/newproject',
templateUrl: 'partials/new-project.html'
})
So, when i enter the app, i'm in the home page. Then i click on "new project" link and i'm in the "new project" page. Now the url is http://myapp/newproject
My problem is, when i refresh the page, i want to be redirected on the home page, even if the url in my browser bar is still http://myapp/newproject
How can i achieve that?
UPDATE :
Thank you very much squiroid for your answer. I used the second solution and it worked like a charm. A little clarification, just in case someone should have the same problem, before redirecting to home you have to prevent default operation. So the correct working code is :
$rootScope.$on("$locationChangeStart", function(event, next, current) {
if(next==current && next=='/newproject')
event.preventDefault();
$state.go('home');
});
Use this in your controller of 'newproject' it is listening your refresh:
or put this in app.run();
