How to redirect in a ui-router resolver?

Question

I am trying to redirect inside a ui-router resolve and wanted to know if there is a way to reroute in a router resolver. Currently this does not work as one would think.

Answer 1

This is what I actually do, and I can't find a better solution

resolver($q, $timeout, myService) {
    if(!areParameterValuesValid() || !isEverythingLogicallyOk()){
        var deferred = $q.defer();
        $timeout(function() {
            $state.go('somewhere');
            deferred.reject();
        });
        return deferred.promise;
    } else {
        return myService.loadSomething(passingSomeParams);
    }        
}
