Angular UI Router: Different states with same URL?

 

The landing page of my app has two states: ​​home-public​​, ​​home-logged-in​​. Now I want to show both states on the same URL, but let the controller and template depend on the user session (is the user logged in or not?).

Is there a way to achieve this?

You could have a base state that controls which state to load, and you could simply have the child stated of that base state not have urls:

.state('home', {
url: "/home",
templateUrl: "....",
controller: function($scope,$state,authSvc) {
if(authSvc.userIsLoggedIn()){
$state.go('home.loggedin')
}else{
$state.go('home.public')
}
}
})


.state('home.public', {
url: "",
templateUrl: "....",
controller: function($scope) {
...........
}
})

.state('home.loggedin', {
url: "",
templateUrl: "....",
controller: function($scope) {
...........
}
})


Now in the controller of your base state (​​home​​) you can check if the user is logged in or not, and use ​​$state.go()​​ to load an appropriate state.
