How to config Angular ui-router to not use strict URL matching mode

Question

ui-router's version 0.2.11 introduced option to turn off strict URL matching , but I can't figure out how to actually use it.

I've tried standard config as they use in tests :

app.config(function ($urlMatcherFactoryProvider) {
  $urlMatcherFactoryProvider.caseInsensitive(true);
  $urlMatcherFactoryProvider.strictMode(false);
});

None of those settings work, so I guess I'm either doing something wrong or it's bugged. There's also seem to be no documentation about it.

Answer 1

I believe this was fixed in 0.2.12.

That said, I ran into this problem in 0.2.15. It turns out that you need to configure the $urlMatcherFactoryProvider BEFORE the $stateProvider .

ie the following code will NOT work:

$stateProvider.state('login', {
    url: "/login",
    templateUrl: 'templates/login.html',
    controller: 'loginController as loginCtrl'
});
$urlMatcherFactoryProvider.caseInsensitive(true);
$urlMatcherFactoryProvider.strictMode(false);

You have to configure the $urlMatcherFactoryProvider first, like this:

$urlMatcherFactoryProvider.caseInsensitive(true);
$urlMatcherFactoryProvider.strictMode(false); 
$stateProvider.state('login', {
    url: "/login",
    templateUrl: 'templates/login.html',
    controller: 'loginController as loginCtrl'
});

use like this

app.config(["$routeProvider", "$locationProvider",
    function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
        return $routeProvider.when("/", {
            redirectTo: "/signin"
        })
        .when("/dashboard", {
            templateUrl: "App/views/Dashboard/dashboard.html",

        }).when("/signup", {
            templateUrl: "App/views/signup/signup.html",
            resolve: {
                permission: function (authorizationService, $route) {
                    return authorizationService.permissionCheck("signup");
                },
            }
        })
.when("/myAccount", {
            templateUrl: "App/views/myAccount/myAccount.html",
            resolve: {
                permission: function (authorizationService, $route) {
                    return authorizationService.permissionCheck("myAccount");
                },
            }
        })
        .when("/signin", {
            templateUrl: "App/views/signin/signin.html",
            resolve: {
                permission: function (authorizationService, $route) {
                    return authorizationService.permissionCheck("SKIP");
                },
            }
        })
