Is there something like we know as .otherwise() in the new router?

[0x-r4bbit]

While it is pretty clear, how to force a redirect from one path to another path like this:

function AppController($router) {
  $router.config([
    {
      path: '/',
      redirectTo: '/welcome'
    },
    {
      path: '/welcome',
      component: 'welcome'
  ]);
}

I wonder if there's also a way to map any path, that doesn't match any specific configuration, to a defined component/path. So basically the equivalent of:

app.config(function ($routeProvider) {
  $routeProvider
    .when('/foo', {
      ...
    })
    .otherwise('/foo');
});

Is there something like this in the new router or at least planned?

There is. Try

{
        path: '/**',
        component:' default'
}

👍

If it's working, it would be nice to write about it in the documentation.
It's sad there is so many people looking for this feature for about 1 year now 👎

You got a point there @amritk !
Well done sir!

[johanleroch]

It works, Thank you for your response @amritk !

@chainlist @lejogacav you think you could help me out? How do you grab parameters?

{
        path: '/feed/:param',
        component:' default'
}

Now how would you grab :param in the controller? I don't think routeParams works with the component router.

@amritk here's a sample app

@iksose Thanks. So you need a lifecycle hook to get the parameters?

I guess @btford can close this issue now ! :)
Thanks @amritk for the answer!
