Default route for angular ui router

Question

The sample demo of the angular ui router has this link for the start page:

full url of \'ui-router\' is / or http://angular-ui.github.io/ui-route

Answer 1

You can use $urlRouterProvide.otherwise. This will work if you try to navigate to a route url that has not been defined.

Taken from here.

function configurUIRoutes($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {

$stateProvider
    .state('myhomepage',
    {
        abstract: false,
        url: '/myhomepageurl',
        templateUrl: "some-path/staff-admin.html",
        controller: 'HomeController'
    });

$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/myhomepageurl'); // User will be taken to /myhomepageurl if they enter a non-matched entry into URL

}
