ngRoute.$routeProvider

Methods

• when(path, route);

  Adds a new route definition to the $route service.

  Parameters

  Param	Type	Details
  path	string	Route path (matched against $location.path). If $location.path contains redundant trailing slash or is missing one, the route will still match and the $location.path will be updated to add or drop the trailing slash to exactly match the route definition. path can contain named groups starting with a colon: e.g. :name. All characters up to the next slash are matched and stored in $routeParams under the given name when the route matches. path can contain named groups starting with a colon and ending with a star: e.g.:name*. All characters are eagerly stored in $routeParams under the given name when the route matches. path can contain optional named groups with a question mark: e.g.:name?. For example, routes like /color/:color/largecode/:largecode*\/edit will match /color/brown/largecode/code/with/slashes/edit and extract: color: brown largecode: code/with/slashes.
  route	Object	Mapping information to be assigned to $route.current on route match. Object properties: controller â {(string|function()=} â Controller fn that should be associated with newly created scope or the name of a registered controller if passed as a string. controllerAs â {string=} â An identifier name for a reference to the controller. If present, the controller will be published to scope under the controllerAs name. template â {string=|function()=} â html template as a string or a function that returns an html template as a string which should be used by ngView or ngInclude directives. This property takes precedence over templateUrl. If template is a function, it will be called with the following parameters: {Array.<Object>} - route parameters extracted from the current $location.path() by applying the current route templateUrl â {string=|function()=} â path or function that returns a path to an html template that should be used by ngView. If templateUrl is a function, it will be called with the following parameters: {Array.<Object>} - route parameters extracted from the current $location.path() by applying the current route resolve - {Object.<string, function>=} - An optional map of dependencies which should be injected into the controller. If any of these dependencies are promises, the router will wait for them all to be resolved or one to be rejected before the controller is instantiated. If all the promises are resolved successfully, the values of the resolved promises are injected and $routeChangeSuccess event is fired. If any of the promises are rejected the $routeChangeError event is fired. For easier access to the resolved dependencies from the template, the resolve map will be available on the scope of the route, under $resolve (by default) or a custom name specified by the resolveAs property (see below). This can be particularly useful, when working with components as route templates. Note: If your scope already contains a property with this name, it will be hidden or overwritten. Make sure, you specify an appropriate name for this property, that does not collide with other properties on the scope. The map object is: key â {string}: a name of a dependency to be injected into the controller. factory - {string|function}: If string then it is an alias for a service. Otherwise if function, then it is injected and the return value is treated as the dependency. If the result is a promise, it is resolved before its value is injected into the controller. Be aware that ngRoute.$routeParams will still refer to the previous route within these resolve functions. Use $route.current.params to access the new route parameters, instead. resolveAs - {string=} - The name under which the resolve map will be available on the scope of the route. If omitted, defaults to $resolve. redirectTo â {(string|function())=} â value to update $location path with and trigger route redirection. If redirectTo is a function, it will be called with the following parameters: {Object.<string>} - route parameters extracted from the current $location.path() by applying the current route templateUrl. {string} - current $location.path() {Object} - current $location.search() The custom redirectTo function is expected to return a string which will be used to update $location.path() and $location.search(). [reloadOnSearch=true] - {boolean=} - reload route when only $location.search() or $location.hash() changes. If the option is set to false and url in the browser changes, then $routeUpdate event is broadcasted on the root scope. [caseInsensitiveMatch=false] - {boolean=} - match routes without being case sensitive If the option is set to true, then the particular route can be matched without being case sensitive

  Returns

  Object

  self

• otherwise(params);

  Sets route definition that will be used on route change when no other route definition is matched.

  Parameters

  Param	Type	Details
  params	Objectstring	Mapping information to be assigned to $route.current. If called with a string, the value maps to redirectTo.

  Returns

  Object

  self

Properties

• caseInsensitiveMatch

  A boolean property indicating if routes defined using this provider should be matched using a case insensitive algorithm. Defaults to false.
