AngularJS: Routing with URL having optional parameters

[Shyam]

I have a URL in my app.js containing routes. lets say the url is: /api/:opt1/:opt2/:opt3/users

I want that my url will work in any case, i should able to ignore the optional parameters( opt1, opt2 or opt3, may be all or few). How can I achieve this.

is there any way that i can call $location.path('/users'), and i can specify also what are the values of the optional param ?

Please suggest.

Perhaps not the prettiest solution but this should work if I understand your problem correctly.

$routeProvider.

        when('/api/users'...).

        when('/api/:opt1/users'...).

        when('/api/:opt1/:opt2/users'...).

        when('/api/:opt1/:opt2/:opt3/users'...)

In 1.2 named groups (wildcards) are supported. Read the docs here:

http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngRoute/provider/$routeProvider

From the docs:

"For example, routes like /color/:color/largecode/:largecode*\/edit will match /color/brown/largecode/code/with/slashes/edit and extract:

color: brown

largecode: code/with/slashes."
