The Problem...
The Implementer should have the ability to write simple redirects using $urlRouterProvider.when to invoke another state with the same, expected URL-parameters:
$urlRouterProvider.when('/hook/route', '/that/other/route');
This should provide the correct $sateParams needed for the target state. For example, if the URI /hook/route?token=X is called, the target state should have $stateParams.token === 'X' -- given that this parameter is configured within the $stateProvider ({... url: '/that/other/route?token' ...});
The conventional way [in Stackoverflow-land] looks like the following:
$urlRouterProvider
.when('/hook/route', redirect)
.otherwise('/');
function redirect($state, $stateParams) {
$state.go('app.otherState', { token: $stateParams.token });
}
This seems very overkill for a simple redirect-with-parameters action -- especially if many redirects are needed.
The answer I'll provide below shows a very-low-overhead approach, which unfortunately, has not been spot-lighted in other StackOverflow threads regarding this topic...
