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

Using resolves for this didn't quite work out for me. I adapted the logic from this post to execute a redirect function on the data property of the state object. You can then tap into the $stateChangeStart event on $rootScope from the run block of the module and use the injector service's invoke method to the change the state based on the conditions you specify. Works nicely across modules as well.
