Updating resolved objects in ui.router parent states

Question

My question is two fold:

1 - I have a parent state and several child states using ui.router, there\'s one object (stored in mongodb) that is need in all states, but

Answer 1

Not fully sure if I can see where is the issue... but if you are searching for a way how to share access to updated reference, it should be easy. There is an example

Let's have these states

$stateProvider
  .state('root', {
    abstract: true,
    template: '
',
    resolve: {objectX : function() { return {x : 'x', y : 'y'};}},
    controller: 'rootController',
  })
  .state('home', {
    parent: "root",
    url: '/home',
    templateUrl: 'tpl.example.html',
  })
  .state('search', {
    parent: "root",
    url: '/search',
    templateUrl: 'tpl.example.html',
  })
  .state('index', {
    parent: "root", 
    url: '/index',
    templateUrl: 'tpl.example.html',
  })

Working with only one controller (for a root state):

.controller('rootController', function($scope, objectX){
  $scope.data = { objectX: objectX };
})

And for this example, this is shared template:

  
{{state.current.name}}

  x 
  y 

So, in this scenario, parent (root) has injected an object data into $scope. That reference is then inherit as described here:

Scope Inheritance by View Hierarchy Only
