Directing the user to a child state when they are transitioning to its parent state using UI-Router

Question

Consider the following:

.state(\'manager.staffList\', {url:\'^/staff?alpha\', templateUrl: \'views/staff.list.html\', data:{activeMenu: \'staff\'}, controlle         


        

Answer 1

Quite late but I think you can "redirect" to the state you want.

.state('manager.staffDetail.view', {
    url:'/view',
    templateUrl: 'views/staff.details.html',
    controller: 'YourController'
})

app.controller('YourController', ['$state',
function($state) {
    $state.go('manager.staffDetail.view.schedule');
}]);

You can write you controller right in the state config for short.
