Angularjs ui-router. How to redirect to login page

Solution 1:

The point is, do not redirect if not needed === if already redirected to intended state. There is a working plunker with similar solution

.run(function($rootScope, $location, $state, authenticationSvc) {


    $rootScope.$on( '$stateChangeStart', function(e, toState  , toParams
                                                   , fromState, fromParams) {

        var isLogin = toState.name === "login";
        if(isLogin){
           return; // no need to redirect 
        }

        // now, redirect only not authenticated

        var userInfo = authenticationSvc.getUserInfo();

        if(userInfo.authenticated === false) {
            e.preventDefault(); // stop current execution
            $state.go('login'); // go to login
        }
    });
});

Solution 2:

Since you are using UI-Router module, you should be using $stateChangeStart, $stateChangeSuccess events.

Also there is a typo in consol.log(userInfo) in console.

Check the console in your chrome-dev-tools. It will give idea if something else is missing.
