In my app I have a slidebox style interface. In one of the slides, I want to show a certain thing conditionally (ie if Meteor.user().profile.asdf). I want to show the exact same page via navigation from a link on the main page (so if you're at the URL /item/123). How can I do this without duplicating all of my code? More specifically, in my router I have:

.state('item', {
  url: '/item/:itemId',
  templateUrl: 'client/templates/itemView.html',
  controller: 'itemViewCtrl as item',
  resolve : {
    liftId : ['$stateParams', function($stateParams){
      // console.log($stateParams.liftId);
      return $stateParams.liftId;
    }]
  }
})

On the page accessed via the URL I access the data through item.helper.whatever. Is there a shortcut to include this page in the main page as an <ng-include src="'client/templates/itemView.html'"></ng-include> or something?

Angular should do that automatically if the templateUrl is the same for both components. Angular uses a $templateCache. Reference

When angular goes to fetch you URL it will check the $templateCache first and will realize the template is from the same place and not fetch the static content again. Instead it will use the one stored in $templateCache

You can validate this by looking at your network traffic in developer tools. Only one request for that url should be sent.

If it is not, or you want to make sure you are using the same exact template another approach is to manually add a template to the cache using.

$templateCache.put('templateId.html', 'This is the content of the template');

Then instead of using templateUrl for your State you would use template
