Angular UI-Router $urlRouterProvider .when not working when I click

There is a new working plunker (extending the Angular UI-Router $urlRouterProvider .when not working *anymore*), which should be working with the version 0.2.13+

Previous solution

Until version 0.2.12- we could use $urlRouterProvider.when(), suggested in documenation (small cite):

How to: Set up a default/index child state

…
if you want the ‘parent.index’ url to be non-empty, then set up a redirect in your module.config using $urlRouterProvider:

 $urlRouterProvider.when('/home', '/home/index');

So this was solution shown in the Q & A mentioned above:

var whenConfig = ['$urlRouterProvider', function($urlRouterProvider) {

    $urlRouterProvider
      .when('/app/list', ['$state', 'myService', function ($state, myService) {
            $state.go('app.list.detail', {id: myService.Params.id});
    }])
    .otherwise('/app');
}];
...
app.config(whenConfig) 

Now – we cannot.

UI-Router “FIX” in 0.2.13

It is due to “FIX” (which I am simply not sure about), mentioned in the release 0.2.13

Bug Fixes
$state:
– …
– Avoid re-synchronizing from url after .transitionTo (b267ecd3, closes #1573)

And here is the new code added in the urlRouter.js:

if (lastPushedUrl && $location.url() === lastPushedUrl)
 // this line stops the corrent .when to work
 return lastPushedUrl = undefined;

lastPushedUrl = undefined;

This piece of code is optimizing/fixing some other issue … but also, turning off the .when() functionality

SOLUTION

As already mentioned, this brand new plunker shows the way with version 0.2.13+. We just have to listen to state change, and if the state is “app.list” we can go to its detail with some id…

var onChangeConfig = ['$rootScope', '$state',
 function ($rootScope, $state) {

  $rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function (event, toState) {    
    if (toState.name === "app.list") { 
      event.preventDefault();
      $state.go('app.list.detail', {id: 2});
    }
  });

}]
