Can angularjs routes have default parameter values?

Question

Can I set a default value of a parameter of a route in AngularJS? Is there a way to have /products/123 and /products/ handled by the same route ?

Not sure if this question is specific to $routeProvider but in $stateProvider, you can achieve this by

myApp.config(function($stateProvider) {

    $stateProvider
        .state('products', {
            url: '/:productId',
            templateUrl: "/dashboard/products.html",
            controller: 'ProductController',
            params: {
                productId: {
                  value: "defaultValue",
                  squash: true // or enable this instead to squash `productId` when empty
                } 
            }
        });
});
