1.0 alpha redirectTo example not working

[temka1234]

I am using "1.0.0alpha0" version of ui-router and example with redirectTo not working.

Code inside config of base module:

$transitionsProvider.onStart({
  to: function(state) {
    return state.redirectTo;
  }
}, function($transition$, $state) {
  var targetState = $state.target($transition$.to().redirectTo);
  return $transition$.redirect(targetState);
})

There is no errors in console, log inside callback function works.

If return $transition$.redirect(targetState); replace with return targetState; than transition works fine (without url changing).

Can you post your state definition?

Hi @temka1234
We made some last minute changes to redirect from transition hooks. The $transition$.redirect function is no longer necessary, and will be removed in alpha 1. As you noted, you can simply return the TargetState from the transition hook to redirect the transition.

@christopherthielen, Thanks for the reply!

Can you help with few questions related ui-router-extras

• How to get previous and rejected state after transition finish? Should i use $previousState from ui-router-extras? In code of ui-router-1.0 i see previous method but it used only with $transition$.redirect
• What functionality from ui-router-extras will deprecated with ui-router 1.0?

If a transition is redirected, you can access it through $transition$.previous(). It also has from() and to(), and is available for injection in most (all?) hooks.

@temka1234 can you explain to me in more detail what you mean about previous and rejected state after transition finish?

Using your example as as starting point, in which context do you mean "previous and rejected state after transition finish"?

$transitionsProvider.onStart({
  to: function(state) {
    return state.redirectTo;
  }
}, function($transition$, $state) {
  return $state.target($transition$.to().redirectTo);
})

Closing as the original issue seems resolved and this is now just follow up questions on different things. If that is not correct, I can re-open this.
