Access routeProvider's route properties

Question

For a route defined like this:

$routeProvider
.when(\'/\',
{
    templateUrl:\'views/login.html\',
    controller:\'Login\',
    private:false
});

Answer 1

It is actually recommended to put all your custom data with routes inside a "data" object as such.

$routeProvider
.when('/',
{
    templateUrl:'views/login.html',
    controller:'Login',
    data: {
       private: false
    }
});

Here is how I access route params

$rootScope.$on( "$routeChangeStart", function(event, next, current) {
   next.data.private;
});

The second parameter of the routeChangeStart event is the route object that is called. Another advantage is that anything in the data object is passed to children states.
