Problem with .otherwise when using Angular's UI-Router and passing parameters in the URL

I am facing an issue with searching on my page. Currently, this is the code I have:

$stateProvider
  .state('aaa', {
    url: '/aaa',
    templateUrl: 'client/parties/views/aaa.ng.html',
    controller: 'Aaa'
  })

$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/default");

Now, I want to implement search functionality on my page but the parameters must work with the URL. How can I use params when $urlRouterProvider.otherwise is in place? As of now, anything after /aaa/ in the URL redirects to /default.

An important aspect to consider is that I have more than 20 parameters, and when certain ones are not selected, I do not want them to be passed via the URL. This presents a challenge as using something like url: '/details/:param1:param2:param3:param4' may not be feasible.

Can anyone provide assistance?

Answer №1

After reviewing the ui-router documentation, it appears that preventing redirection without defining a parameter in the state's route may not be possible.

To achieve your desired outcome, one option is to implement a catch-all parameter. Alternatively, you could restrict deep linking or reduce the number of parameters and manually specify them.

  1. To implement a catch-all parameter, consider using one of the following examples. For instance, the parameter 'path' below will prevent redirects if there is no content after "/files/":

    '/files/{path:.*}' - Matches any URL starting with '/files/' and captures the remaining path as the 'path' parameter.
    '/files/*path' - Similar functionality. Special syntax for catch-alls.

  2. Create a single parameter on a new route and then split that parameter into multiple parameters within the controller.
