What is the difference between angularjs $routeprovider and angularjs $stateprovider. I’ve seen both used and wondered which one to choose?
ie stateProvider
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
$stateProvider.state('state', { url: '/state', templateUrl: 'page.html', controller: 'PageCtrl' }); |
ie routeprovider
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
$routeProvider.when('/browse/', { templateUrl: 'browse.html', controller: 'BrowseCtrl' }); |
We started with $routeProvider and moved to $stateProvider to leverage some of the features that ui-router provides.
Warning: UI-Router is pre-beta and under active development. As such, while this library is well-tested, the API is subject to change. Using it in a project that requires guaranteed stability is not recommended.
Differences?
* routeprovider is the default Angular router used with ngRoute
* stateProvider is used by ui-router which provides a different implementation of routeprovider
