Im trying to authenticate users for most routes in my application.

is there a way to do it globally on all routes? so i do not need to have the following: 

resolve : {
    //This function is injected with the AuthService where you'll put your authentication logic
    'auth' : function(AuthService){
        return AuthService.authenticate();
    }
}

on each $routeProvider.when() call.

This HTTP Auth Interceptor Module may help even if it doesn't fit your need perfectly. –  Gloopy Jul 7 '13 at 6:14

the suggestion by Gloopy was very interesting, and i may implement a similar approach in the future.

For now i have taken a much simpler approach:

gm.config(['$routeProvider', 'PathProvider', function($routeProvider, PathProvider) {

    var authResolver = { // although this does work there could be a better way to do this.
        'auth' : function(AuthenticationService) {
            return AuthenticationService.isLoggedIn();
        }
    };

    $routeProvider.when('/authenticatedRoute', { 
        templateUrl: PathProvider.view('application/dashboard/index.html'), 
        controller: 'dashboardController',
        resolve: authResolver
    }); 

    $routeProvider.otherwise({ 
        redirectTo: '/dashboard',
        resolve: authResolver
    });

}]);
