next-state

Configurable module that remembers the next state on each transition. When a transition is intercepted(we are redirected to a state that is configured as not to be remembered) this module ensures to redirect the user to the previous intended state after a it receives a signal that it listens for.

Requirements

• angular
• ui-router
• angular-permission

Sample use case scenario

A user attepmts to go to a accounts page, but his session expires and he's redirected to a login page. After a successful login we want to redirect the user to where he was heading i.e. the accounts page.

Usage

You can get it from Bower

bower install next-state

Load the script files in your application:

<script type="text/javascript" src="bower_components/next-state/dist/next-state.min.js"></script>

Add the specific module to your dependencies:

angular.module('myApp', ['resolve.next-state', ...])

Configuring nextState service

.config(function(nextStateProvider, defaultHomeRedirect) {
    nextStateProvider.setExcludedStates([
        'login'
    ]);

    nextStateProvider.setRedirectEvents([
        'login_successful',
    ]);

    // Here defaultHomeRedirect is used as constant defined globally, but if you want feel free to mention a state name directly
    nextStateProvider.setDefaultHomeRedirect(defaultHomeRedirect);
});

The module works with state names and event names! In the example login and defaultHomeRedirect are both just state names.

Note: State params are currently not preserved during redirection.
