18 AngularUI Router is a routing framework for [AngularJS](http://angularjs.org), which allows you to organize the
19 parts of your interface into a [*state machine*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-state_machine). Unlike the
20 [`$route` service](http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngRoute.$route) in the Angular ngRoute module, which is organized around URL
21 routes, UI-Router is organized around [*states*](https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/wiki),
22 which may optionally have routes, as well as other behavior, attached.
23
24 States are bound to *named*, *nested* and *parallel views*, allowing you to powerfully manage your application's interface.

26 Check out the sample app: http://angular-ui.github.io/ui-router/sample/
27
28 -
29 **Note:** *UI-Router is under active development. As such, while this library is well-tested, the API may change. Consider using it in production applications only if you're comfortable following a changelog and updating your usage accordingly.*
30
31
32 ## Get Started
33
34 **(1)** Get UI-Router in one of the following ways:
35  - clone & [build](CONTRIBUTING.md#developing) this repository
36  - [download the release](http://angular-ui.github.io/ui-router/release/angular-ui-router.js) (or [minified](http://angular-ui.github.io/ui-router/release/angular-ui-router.min.js))
37  - [link to cdn](http://cdnjs.com/libraries/angular-ui-router)
38  - via **[jspm](http://jspm.io/)**: by running `$ jspm install angular-ui-router` from your console
39  - or via **[npm](https://www.npmjs.org/)**: by running `$ npm install angular-ui-router` from your console
40  - or via **[Bower](http://bower.io/)**: by running `$ bower install angular-ui-router` from your console
41  - or via **[Component](https://github.com/component/component)**: by running `$ component install angular-ui/ui-router` from your console
42
43 **(2)** Include `angular-ui-router.js` (or `angular-ui-router.min.js`) in your `index.html`, after including Angular itself (For Component users: ignore this step)
44
45 **(3)** Add `'ui.router'` to your main module's list of dependencies (For Component users: replace `'ui.router'` with `require('angular-ui-router')`)
46
47 When you're done, your setup should look similar to the following:
48
49 >
50 ```html
51 <!doctype html>
52 <html ng-app="myApp">
53 <head>
54     <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.1.5/angular.min.js"></script>
55     <script src="js/angular-ui-router.min.js"></script>
56     <script>
57         var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ui.router']);
58         // For Component users, it should look like this:
59         // var myApp = angular.module('myApp', [require('angular-ui-router')]);
60     </script>
61     ...
62 </head>
63 <body>
64     ...
65 </body>
66 </html>
67 ```
68
69 ### [Nested States & Views](http://plnkr.co/edit/u18KQc?p=preview)
70
71 The majority of UI-Router's power is in its ability to nest states & views.
72
73 **(1)** First, follow the [setup](#get-started) instructions detailed above.
74
75 **(2)** Then, add a [`ui-view` directive](https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/wiki/Quick-Reference#ui-view) to the `<body />` of your app.
76
77 >
78 ```html
79 <!-- index.html -->
80 <body>
81     <div ui-view></div>
82     <!-- We'll also add some navigation: -->
83     <a ui-sref="state1">State 1</a>
84     <a ui-sref="state2">State 2</a>
85 </body>
86 ```
87
88 **(3)** You'll notice we also added some links with [`ui-sref` directives](https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/wiki/Quick-Reference#ui-sref). In addition to managing state transitions, this directive auto-generates the `href` attribute of the `<a />` element it's attached to, if the corresponding state has a URL. Next we'll add some templates. These will plug into the `ui-view` within `index.html`. Notice that they have their own `ui-view` as well! That is the key to nesting states and views.
89
90 >
91 ```html
92 <!-- partials/state1.html -->
93 <h1>State 1</h1>
94 <hr/>
95 <a ui-sref="state1.list">Show List</a>
96 <div ui-view></div>
97 ```
98 ```html
99 <!-- partials/state2.html -->
100 <h1>State 2</h1>
101 <hr/>
102 <a ui-sref="state2.list">Show List</a>
103 <div ui-view></div>
104 ```
105
106 **(4)** Next, we'll add some child templates. *These* will get plugged into the `ui-view` of their parent state templates.
107
108 >
109 ```html
110 <!-- partials/state1.list.html -->
111 <h3>List of State 1 Items</h3>
112 <ul>
113   <li ng-repeat="item in items">{{ item }}</li>
114 </ul>
115 ```
116
117 >
118 ```html
119 <!-- partials/state2.list.html -->
120 <h3>List of State 2 Things</h3>
121 <ul>
122   <li ng-repeat="thing in things">{{ thing }}</li>
123 </ul>
124 ```
125
126 **(5)** Finally, we'll wire it all up with `$stateProvider`. Set up your states in the module config, as in the following:
127
128
129 >
130 ```javascript
131 myApp.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
132   //
133   // For any unmatched url, redirect to /state1
134   $urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/state1");
135   //
136   // Now set up the states
137   $stateProvider
138     .state('state1', {
139       url: "/state1",
140       templateUrl: "partials/state1.html"
141     })
142     .state('state1.list', {
143       url: "/list",
144       templateUrl: "partials/state1.list.html",
145       controller: function($scope) {
146         $scope.items = ["A", "List", "Of", "Items"];
147       }
148     })
149     .state('state2', {
150       url: "/state2",
151       templateUrl: "partials/state2.html"
152     })
153     .state('state2.list', {
154       url: "/list",
155       templateUrl: "partials/state2.list.html",
156       controller: function($scope) {
157         $scope.things = ["A", "Set", "Of", "Things"];
158       }
159     });
160 });
161 ```

169
170 ### [Multiple & Named Views](http://plnkr.co/edit/SDOcGS?p=preview)
171
172 Another great feature is the ability to have multiple `ui-view`s view per template.
173
174 **Pro Tip:** *While multiple parallel views are a powerful feature, you'll often be able to manage your
175 interfaces more effectively by nesting your views, and pairing those views with nested states.*
176
177 **(1)** Follow the [setup](#get-started) instructions detailed above.
178
179 **(2)** Add one or more `ui-view` to your app, give them names.
180 >
181 ```html
182 <!-- index.html -->
183 <body>
184     <div ui-view="viewA"></div>
185     <div ui-view="viewB"></div>
186     <!-- Also a way to navigate -->
187     <a ui-sref="route1">Route 1</a>
188     <a ui-sref="route2">Route 2</a>
189 </body>
190 ```
191
192 **(3)** Set up your states in the module config:
193 >
194 ```javascript
195 myApp.config(function($stateProvider) {
196   $stateProvider
197     .state('index', {
198       url: "",
199       views: {
200         "viewA": { template: "index.viewA" },
201         "viewB": { template: "index.viewB" }
202       }
203     })
204     .state('route1', {
205       url: "/route1",
206       views: {
207         "viewA": { template: "route1.viewA" },
208         "viewB": { template: "route1.viewB" }
209       }
210     })
211     .state('route2', {
212       url: "/route2",
213       views: {
214         "viewA": { template: "route2.viewA" },
215         "viewB": { template: "route2.viewB" }
216       }
217     })
218 });
219 ```
