Otherwise For States With Typed Parameters

I started using typed parameters (such as {id:int}) in my route configuration. If a state doesn't match because of the type, otherwise does not appear to trigger. For example: $sta

Solution 1:

I'd say, that the concept as you wanted, is working. There is a working example

this state def (1:1 to question)

$stateProvider
  .state('stuff', {
    url: '/version/{version:int}/stuff',
    templateUrl: 'tpl.html',
    controller: 'StuffCtrl',
  })
  .state('list', {
    url: '/list',
    templateUrl: 'tpl.html',
    controller: 'ListCtrl',
  });


$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/list');

will properly handle these links:

// list
<ahref="#/list">

// ui-sref
<aui-sref="stuff({version:1})"><aui-sref="stuff({version:2})">

// href
<ahref="#/version/12/stuff">

these will not work (as expected) - so they will not created any href (such state with such params does not exist)

<aui-sref="stuff({version:'A'})"><aui-sref="stuff({version:'xyz'})">

these href will be redirect to otherwise

<ahref="#/version/x/stuff"><ahref="#/version/AB/stuff">
