Angular ui-router get asynchronous data with resolve

Question

I want to display a form with data corresponding to the edited item. I use ui-router for routing. I defined a state:

myapp.config(function($stat

You need to read the docs for resolve. Resolve functions are injectable, and you can use $stateParams to get the correct value from your routes, like so:

resolve: {
    propertyData: function($stateParams, $q) {
        // The gapi.client.realestate object should really be wrapped in an
        // injectable service for testability...

        var deferred = $q.defer();

        gapi.client.realestate.get($stateParams.propertyId).execute(function(r) {
            deferred.resolve(r);
        });
        return deferred.promise;
    }
}

Finally, the values for resolve functions are injectable in your controller once resolved:

myapp.controller('PropertyController', function($scope, propertyData) {

    $scope.property = propertyData;

});
