Also you can use ui-sref-active directive     lt ul gt     lt li ui-sref-active  active  class  item  gt       lt a href ui-sref  app user  user   bilbobaggins     gt  bilbobaggins lt  a gt     lt  li gt     lt  --     -- gt   lt  ul gt    Or filters   stateName    isState  amp   stateName    includedByState

The use of ui-sref-active directive that worked for me was    lt li ui-sref-active    active    admin    gt       lt a ui-sref  admin users  gt Administration Panel lt  a gt   lt  li gt    as found here under the comment labeled  tgrant59 commented on May 31  2016    I am using angular-ui-router v0 3 1

Update   This answer was for a much older release of Ui-Router  For the more recent releases  0 2 5    please use the helper directive ui-sref-active  Details here     Original Answer   Include the  state service in your controller  You can assign this service to a property on your scope    An example    scope  state    state    Then to get the current state in your templates    state current name   To check if a state is current active    state includes  stateName       This method returns true if the state is included  even if it s part of a nested state  If you were at a nested state  user details  and you checked for  state includes  user    it d return true   In your class example  you d do something like this   ng-class   active   state includes  stateName

If you are using ui-router  try  state is     You can use it like so    state is  stateName     Per the documentation       state is     similar to  state includes  but only checks for the full state name
