can we pass objects these days with transitionTo ?

Not yet, but soon.

Are we talking about passing information when changing state that we do not want to appear in the URL? Any way I can help? :)

I have some code here that does just that if it helps. https://github.com/Webinfinity/ui-router/tree/optional-params

Is there a workaround for this, for the time being? It's a bit confusing what the correct format for params is, in state declarations. On #400 it says issue is tracked on #125 and #125 seems to be closed, so I assumed that it's fixed now, but it's not. Not in 0.2.10 at least.

@faxal its fixed in master but has not been released yet. It looks like they have it tagged for the 0.4.0 release, but haven't got 0.3.0 released yet.

+1 this feature would be awsome :-)
@lightswitch05 where do you see that it is tagged on 0.4.0 or resolved on master ?

[lightswitch05]

@itkin I'm pretty sure I got this from Typed and optional parameters - #1032 which was released in 0.2.11

@lightswitch05 got it thx !

Yes, this should be working now in 0.2.13.

.state('foo', { 
  url: '/foo/:param1?param2',
  params: { param3: null } // null is the default value
});

$state.go('foo', { param1: 'bar', param2: 'baz', param3: { id: 35, name: 'what' } });
$stateParams in 'foo' is now { param1: 'bar', param2: 'baz', param3: { id: 35, name: 'what' } }
url is /foo/bar?param2=baz.

Tried and worked using transitionTo . Didn't try with go. AngularJS v1.3.6.

Tried and worked with go, but I'm getting some inconsistent behavior depending of the parameter.

The target state seems to only reloaded if the param is different at a shallow level. Example in this plunker.

In that example, I have an array that is filled with random numbers when you click the link.

If I send that array into state.go directly, the child state will not be reloaded (check console for child loaded messages). But if I slice the array (creating copy of the array reference) then the child state is reloaded.

I would expect the state to be reloaded regardless, since the contents of the parameter changed.
