I am using the following url in my state:

    .state('forum.spesific', {
      url: '/:articleId',
      templateUrl: 'modules/forum/client/views/forum.client.view.html',
      controller: 'forumController',
      controllerAs: 'vm',
    })
.state('forum.spesific2', {
      url: '/:articleId',
      templateUrl: 'modules/forum/client/views/forum2.client.view.html',
      controller: 'forumController',
      controllerAs: 'vm',
    })

how can i make one of them rely on that the :articleId is only number, and the other mix of numbers and characters?

like:

  .state('forum.spesific', {
          url: '/:articleId ONLY BY NUMBER',
          templateUrl: 'modules/forum/client/views/forum.client.view.html',
          controller: 'forumController',
          controllerAs: 'vm',
        })
    .state('forum.spesific', {
          url: '/:articleId BOTH ( have to be both)',
          templateUrl: 'modules/forum/client/views/forum2.client.view.html',
          controller: 'forumController',
          controllerAs: 'vm',
        })

you can use the regex-like syntax: '/articles/{id:int}', that matches only integers. By the way, this is not very-safe because id (eg: bigInt) can be out of the javascript safe integer range... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number/isSafeInteger

so in this case it would be /:articleid:int , then articleid would be within int? what about the other? would that work with a string? – maria 12 mins ago
    
you just need to put the {mixed} param route after the {int} param route. – Hitmands 11 mins ago

you can specify regex like so:

 .state('forum.spesific', {
      url: '/{articleId:[0-9]+}',
      templateUrl: 'modules/forum/client/views/forum.client.view.html',
      controller: 'forumController',
      controllerAs: 'vm',
    })
.state('forum.spesific2', {
      url: '/:articleId',
      templateUrl: 'modules/forum/client/views/forum2.client.view.html',
      controller: 'forumController',
      controllerAs: 'vm',
    })

but why 2 states if the only difference is the id type ?

@DMISSOKHO , thats because im relying on if the id is a number or a mixed one. mixed one will show a topic, when number will show page number . but wouldnt spesific2 match the forum.spesific too, the 2nd state would be true on both? – maria 9 mins ago

Maybe you can merge those 2 states into the same and change the templateUrl

templateUrl: function (stateParams){ if(isNaN(stateParams.articleId)){ return "modules/forum/client/views/forum2.client.view.html" } else { return "modules/forum/client/views/forum.client.view.html"; } }

Hope this helps
