Angular redirect to home on refresh
10,051
I havn't used the ui-router but in ng-route we can do it like this
- create a controller on top of your ng-view div
<body ng-controller="topController"> <div ng-view></div> </body>
- Define your routes normally but in topController just write this line
$location.path("/")
assuming that "/" is your main page where you want to redirect after refresh, don't forget to define $location

What's the best way to direct a user to the home page if they happen to refresh from any other route (or state if you're using ui-router, as I am).
For example - I want them to begin on the
inventorypage. If they want to make edits, they travel to theeditspage, but if they refresh that page, they go straight to theinventoryroute again. -
Augie Gardner about 10 years"otherwise" is for invalid routes. If a user heads over to the "edits" page, and hits refresh, they are technically on a valid route, so the otherwise will not be processed, and will not work.

Augie Gardner about 10 yearsI feel a little silly to have forgotten the outer controller of my ui-view. Thanks
