Default stateParam values?

[braco]

I have

/foo/:bar

and I would like :bar to default to "baz" when nothing is provided.

what's the best way to do this?

Well you could use $urlRouterProvider.

$urlRouterProvider.when("/foo", "/foo/baz");
$urlRouterProvider.when("/foo/", "/foo/baz");

You could also use $urlRouterProvider.otherwise(function($injector, $location) {...}) if you need something a bit more programmatic.

This will be possible when typed parameters are implemented. Keep tabs on #454.

I think we can close this with 2 possible solutions and 1 upcoming.
