$urlRouter (service in module ui.router.router )

Methods

• sync()

  Triggers an update; the same update that happens when the address bar url changes, aka $locationChangeSuccess. This method is useful when you need to use preventDefault() on the $locationChangeSuccess event, perform some custom logic (route protection, auth, config, redirection, etc) and then finally proceed with the transition by calling $urlRouter.sync().

  Example

  angular.module('app', ['ui.router']);
    .run(function($rootScope, $urlRouter) {
      $rootScope.$on('$locationChangeSuccess', function(evt) {
        // Halt state change from even starting
        evt.preventDefault();
        // Perform custom logic
        var meetsRequirement = ...
        // Continue with the update and state transition if logic allows
        if (meetsRequirement) $urlRouter.sync();
      });
  });
