angularjs - Query string parameter in ui-router urls?

Question

I have these states:

.state('quotes', {
  abstract: true,
  url: '/quotes'
})
.state('quotes.new', {
  url: '/new',
  templateUrl: 'views/quote-form.html',
  controller: 'QuoteFormCtrl'
})
.state('quotes.new.customer', {
  url: '?customer',
  templateUrl: 'views/quote-form.html',
  controller: 'QuoteFormCtrl'
})

When I hit the URL /quotes/new?customer=123 the ?customer query string is stripped off, and I am left at the quotes.new state.

What would make most sense to me is just adding a params: ['customer'] to the quotes.new state definition, but that gives me an error complaining that I specify both url and params.

Any examples of what I'm trying to do would be much appreciated.

You should modify the url string property to include your customer query parameter, like this:

.state('quotes.new', {
  url: '/new?customer',
  templateUrl: 'views/quote-form.html',
  controller: 'QuoteFormCtrl'
});

Multiple parameters can be added by separating them with an &:

.state('mystate', {
  url: '/myState?paramOne&paramTwo
  //...
});
