When using ui-route, we want to pass the information with the url. 

 

Example:

angular.module('categories.bookmarks', [    'categories.bookmarks.create',    'categories.bookmarks.edit',    'eggly.models.categories',    'eggly.models.bookmarks'])    .config(function ($stateProvider) {        $stateProvider            .state('eggly.categories.bookmarks', {                url: 'categories/:category',                views: {                    'bookmarks@': {                        controller: 'BookmarksController',                        templateUrl: 'app/categories/bookmarks/bookmarks.tmpl.html'                    }                }            })    })    .controller('BookmarksController', function ($scope, $stateParams) {        $scope.currentCategory = $stateParams.category;        $scope.stateParams = $stateParams;    });

 

Using :category to pass the params in url. And we can get the params in Controller by using $stateParams.
