What is a nice way to match url for both /url.html and /url.html/ in Angular.js ui-router?

For now, they are separate like this in my code:

  $stateProvider
    .state("myUrl1", {
      url: "/",
      resolve: {
        init: function() {
          console.log("Triggered resolve myUrl1 /");
          return true;
        }
      }
    })
    .state("myUrl2", {
      url: "^",
      resolve: {
        init: function() {
          console.log("Triggered resolve myUrl2");
          return true;
        }
      }
    });

I have tried [^/]*} in the doc https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/wiki/URL-Routing but no success.

Any pointer?

$routeProvider.when do for both automatically though. –  YOU Jan 3 at 7:50
    
may be add [/]* at the end or if it is regex adding \/? should work. –  YOU Jan 3 at 7:52
    
^[/]* doesn't work (not being called at all) and ^\/? gave me error Invalid parameter name '' in pattern '/?' –  HP. Jan 4 at 0:03

AngularUI Router is a routing framework for AngularJS, which allows you to organize the parts of your interface into a state machine. Unlike the $route service in Angular core, which is organized around URL routes, UI-Router is organized around states, which may optionally have routes, as well as other behavior, attached.

You are asking about how to implement a URL route using a plugin that is not designed for handling routes in this way. If you are only interested in URL routing, you should use the Angular core $routeProvider.

http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngRoute

Also, Angular routes don't normally include .html. And, your two example routes /url.html and /url.html/ appear to be semantically the same.

I am interested in both state and routing. The two examples are more for production vs. development. In production, url is like /url/ and in development (with light weight Middleman server), the url is /url.html instead. I think it should be the same and trigger same state but it doesn't do that. I will check out @YOU RegEx advise. –  HP. Jan 4 at 0:01
