get $state info of toState in resolve

[gruppjo]

Hi,

I would like to access the state the app is trying to navigate to in a resolve. Apparently it's possible to get the state you're navigating away from by injecting $state, but not the state you're navigating to.
I don't know whether this is a bug or a feature request. But it would be great to be able to do so. I've been able to work around it (more details in link) but I think they're all messy.

I prepared a stackoverflow question for this:

+1 for this. Just tried doing this today and am unable to.

Would be happy to submit a PR for this if it's trivial. Some direction on where to look would be appreciated though as I'm not yet familiar with the code base.

TaylorMac proposed a good and clean workaround using a decorator - http://stackoverflow.com/a/27255909/1574201

[KobiSh]

this way also works..

angular.module('regions').factory('RegionsModalServices',['$modal', '$state',
function($modal, $state) {
return ({
openCreateEditRegions: function (size, regionId, tableParamsList) {
var modalInstance = $modal.open({
templateUrl: $state.get('createRegion').templateUrl,
controller: 'RegionsCreateEditController',
size: size,
backdrop: 'static',
windowClass: 'modal-edit-task',
resolve: {
regionId: function () {
return regionId;
},
tableParamsList: function () {
return tableParamsList;
}
}
});

        }
    });
}

]);

+1 for this.
It's good to have a good workaround from SO, but it'd be better to have it there by default.

This is slated for an upcoming release.

[jamesbrobb]

Any idea when the version containing this feature is due for release?

[nateabele]

@jamesbrobb It's Open Source, so nobody really knows. 😄 We did just get the sample app running on it this morning though, so an alpha is probably due out soon.

Fixed in 1.0-alpha, which is shipping tomorrow.
