Case insensitivity with angularjs ui-router
angular-ui-router, angularjs
Solution
Following the link in the comments to the original question, i was able to get the answer I needed.
Before my `$stateProvider.state(......)` routes I now have this piece of code:
$urlRouterProvider.rule(function ($injector, $location) {
//what this function returns will be set as the $location.url
var path = $location.path(), normalized = path.toLowerCase();
if (path != normalized) {
//instead of returning a new url string, I'll just change the $location.path directly so I don't have to worry about constructing a new url string and so a new state change is not triggered
$location.replace().path(normalized);
}
// because we've returned nothing, no state change occurs
});
Essentially it will `toLowerCase()` a url that isn't all lowercase already.
Once done, it replaces the url rather than redirects. Then carries on with matching a state.
Problem
I'm building a new angularJS app, based from the AngularJS SPA Visual studio template (http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/5af151b2-9ed2-4809-bfe8-27566bfe7d83) this uses ui-router (https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router) for its routing. however, it seems to be case sensitive. Any idea how I would instruct angular/ui-router to ignore the case of the `url` parameter? case sensitivity doesn't matter while in the app, though should a user type a url to enter the application at a specific page, we need to ensure that `about` is also the same as `aBouT` Cheers
