Improve this Doc View Source $route

Dependencies

• $location
• $routeParams

Methods

• reload();

  Causes $route service to reload the current route even if $location hasn't changed.

  As a result of that, ngView creates new scope and reinstantiates the controller.

• updateParams(newParams);

  Causes $route service to update the current URL, replacing current route parameters with those specified in newParams. Provided property names that match the route's path segment definitions will be interpolated into the location's path, while remaining properties will be treated as query params.

  Parameters

  Param	Type	Details
  newParams	!Object<string, string>	mapping of URL parameter names to values

Events

• $routeChangeStart

  Broadcasted before a route change. At this point the route services starts resolving all of the dependencies needed for the route change to occur. Typically this involves fetching the view template as well as any dependencies defined in resolve route property. Once all of the dependencies are resolved $routeChangeSuccess is fired.

  The route change (and the $location change that triggered it) can be prevented by calling preventDefault method of the event. See $rootScope.Scope for more details about event object.

  Type:

  broadcast

  Target:

  root scope

  Parameters

  Param	Type	Details
  angularEvent	Object	Synthetic event object.
  next	Route	Future route information.
  current	Route	Current route information.

• $routeChangeSuccess

  Broadcasted after a route change has happened successfully. The resolve dependencies are now available in the current.locals property.

  ngView listens for the directive to instantiate the controller and render the view.

  Type:

  broadcast

  Target:

  root scope

  Parameters

  Param	Type	Details
  angularEvent	Object	Synthetic event object.
  current	Route	Current route information.
  previous	RouteUndefined	Previous route information, or undefined if current is first route entered.

• $routeChangeError

  Broadcasted if a redirection function fails or any redirection or resolve promises are rejected.

  Type:

  broadcast

  Target:

  root scope

  Parameters

  Param	Type	Details
  angularEvent	Object	Synthetic event object
  current	Route	Current route information.
  previous	Route	Previous route information.
  rejection	Route	The thrown error or the rejection reason of the promise. Usually the rejection reason is the error that caused the promise to get rejected.

• $routeUpdate

  Broadcasted if the same instance of a route (including template, controller instance, resolved dependencies, etc.) is being reused. This can happen if either reloadOnSearch or reloadOnUrl has been set to false.

  Type:

  broadcast

  Target:

  root scope

  Parameters

  Param	Type	Details
  angularEvent	Object	Synthetic event object
  current	Route	Current/previous route information.

Properties

• current

  Object

  Reference to the current route definition. The route definition contains: controller: The controller constructor as defined in the route definition. locals: A map of locals which is used by $controller service for controller instantiation. The locals contain the resolved values of the resolve map. Additionally the locals also contain: $scope - The current route scope. $template - The current route template HTML. The locals will be assigned to the route scope's $resolve property. You can override the property name, using resolveAs in the route definition. See $routeProvider for more info.

• routes

  Object

  Object with all route configuration Objects as its properties.

Example

This example shows how changing the URL hash causes the $route to match a route against the URL, and the ngView pulls in the partial.
