ui-router.stateHelper
A helper module for AngularUI Router, which allows you to define your states as an object tree.
Installation
bower install angular-ui-router.stateHelper
ornpm install angular-ui-router.statehelper
- Reference
stateHelper.min.js
. - Add a dependency on
ui.router.stateHelper
in your app module.
Usage
// NOTE: when using child states with views you should make sure that its parent has a template containing a `ui-view` directive.
angular.module('myApp', [ 'ui.router', 'ui.router.stateHelper' ])
.config(function(stateHelperProvider){
stateHelperProvider
.state({
name: 'root',
templateUrl: 'root.html',
children: [
{
name: 'contacts',
template: '<ui-view />',
children: [
{
name: 'list',
templateUrl: 'contacts.list.html'
}
]
},
{
name: 'products',
templateUrl: 'products.html',
children: [
{
name: 'list',
templateUrl: 'products.list.html'
}
]
}
]
})
.state({
name: 'rootSibling',
templateUrl: 'rootSibling.html'
});
});
Options
- keepOriginalNames (default false)
- siblingTraversal (default false)
Dot notation name conversion
By default, all state names are converted to use ui-router's dot notation (e.g. parentStateName.childStateName
).
This can be disabled by calling .state()
with options options.keepOriginalNames = true
.
For example:
angular.module('myApp', ['ui.router', 'ui.router.stateHelper'])
.config(function(stateHelperProvider){
stateHelperProvider.state({
name: 'root',
templateUrl: 'root.html',
children: [
{
name: 'contacts',
templateUrl: 'contacts.html'
}
]
}, { keepOriginalNames: true });
});
Sibling Traversal
Child states may optionally receive a reference to the name of the previous state (if available) and the next state (if available) in order to facilitate sequential state traversal as in the case of building wizards or multi-part forms. Enable this by setting options.siblingTraversal = true
.
Example:
angular.module('myApp', ['ui.router', 'ui.router.stateHelper'])
.config(function(stateHelperProvider){
stateHelperProvider.state({
name: 'resume',
children: [
{
name: 'contactInfo',
},
{
name: 'experience',
},
{
name: 'education',
}
]
}, { siblingTraversal: true });
});
console.log($state.get('resume.contactInfo').previousSibling) // undefined
console.log($state.get('resume.contactInfo').nextSibling) // 'resume.experience'
console.log($state.get('resume.experience').previousSibling) // 'resume.contactInfo'
console.log($state.get('resume.experience').nextSibling) // 'resume.education'
console.log($state.get('resume.education').previousSibling) // 'resume.experience'
console.log($state.get('resume.education').nextSibling) // undefined
Name change
Before 1.2.0 .setNestedState
was used instead of .state
. In 1.2.0 setNestedState
was deprecated in favour of .state
, and chaining was added. This makes it easier to switch between $stateProvider
and stateHelperProvider
.
