Home route in ui-router

Question

I use https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router library. When I try to access index route (\'/\') I\'m redirected to 404. The code:

angular.module(\'cr\').config(f         


        

Answer 1

You've declared how to behave when any unknown/other route is provided - go to /404.

But we also have to define how to behave, when some expected, but not "exact" / "not known" route is accessed, ie. create alias

That's where the .when() could/should be used:

...

// the known route, with missing '/' - let's create alias
$urlRouterProvider.when('', '/');

// the unknown
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/404');
