Can angularjs routes have optional parameter values

Question

Can I set a route with optional params  same template and controller  but some params should be ignored if they don t exist   So instead of writing the following two rules  have only one   module config    routeProvider   function  routeProvider         routeProvider       when   users     templateUrl   template tpl html   controller  myCtrl                     when   users  userId    templateUrl   template tpl html   controller  myCtrl          Something like this   this param is optional    when   users   userId     templateUrl   template tpl html   controller  myCtrl     note  this previous doesn t work   I couldn t find anything in their documentation

Please see  jlareau answer here  https   stackoverflow com questions 11534710 angularjs-how-to-use-routeparams-in-generating-the-templateurl  You can use a function to generate the template string   var app   angular module  app        app config      function  routeProvider             routeProvider              when       templateUrl   home                 when   users  user id                                             controller UserView                       templateUrl  function params   return   users view     params user id                                                   otherwise  redirectTo

Actually I think OZ  may be somewhat correct    If you have the route   users  userId  and navigate to   users    note the trailing      routeParams in your controller should be an object containing userId     in 1 1 5  So no the paramater userId isn t completely ignored  but I think it s the best you re going to get
