Angular UI-Router - using "resolve" directly on template url

Question

I am using UI-Router and want to change routing to be 'component based'. So Instead of defining a controller / template I want to use it like this:

.state('issue', {
    url: '/someUrl/:number',
    template: '<my-directive></my-directive>',
    resolve: {
      data: function(dataService) {
        return dataService.getData().then(function(response) {
            console.log(response.data);
            return response.data;
        });
      }
    }
 })

Now, I know that with Angular's ngRoute I can use resolved data directly in the template, for example:

 $routeProvider
      .when('/', {
        template: `<my-directive data="resolve.data"></my-directive>`,
        resolve: {
          data: function (dataService) {
            return dataService.getData();
          }
        }
      })

I couldn't do it using UI-Router (value was undefined).

Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible using ui-router?

The point with UI-Router is - result of resolve is available for a controller (related to template). So, we could do it like this:

.state('issue', {
    url: '/someUrl/:number',
    template: '<my-directive data="stateCtrlData"></my-directive>',
    controller: function($scope, data) { $scope.stateCtrlData = data },
    resolve: {
      data: function(dataService) {
        return dataService.getData().then(function(response) {
            console.log(response.data);
            return response.data;
        });
      }
    }
  })

The data are passed into controller and from its scope we pass it to directive.

If you mean injecting your data service, then you can do it like this (remember that the '' is telling to inject):

state('issue', {
        url: '/someUrl/',
        template: '<my-directive data="pep.data"></my-directive>',
        controller: function( data) { this.data = data },
        controllerAs: 'pep',  
        resolve:{
                 dataSvc : 'YourDataSvc',
                 campaign : function(dataSvc){
                         return dataSvc.getData();

                }
             }

Please remember a ui-view will be expected if you want to put additional views or child states.

Actually you can (tested only in ui-router v0.3.2)

There's an undocumented $resolve variable which is automatically injected in the controller. Simply add 'controllerAs' property to the state as follows, and you can use $resolve in the template:

.state('issue', {
    url: '/someUrl/:number',
    template: '<my-directive data="vm.$resolve.data"></my-directive>',
    controllerAs: 'vm',
    resolve: {
      data: function(dataService) {
        return dataService.getData().then(function(response) {
            console.log(response.data);
            return response.data;
        });
      }
    }
 })
