How to get current route within resolve function?

[geoidesic]

I have a service which checks whether the current user has access to the route.
I would like that service to be called as part of the resolve, so that the view never loads if the user should not have access. However, within the resolve function the $state dependency does not yet contain the actual state of the router.

.state('home', {
            url: '/home',
            templateUrl: 'app/home.html',
            controller: 'HomeController',
            controllerAs: 'main',
            resolve:{
                    allowed: function(auth, $state){
                       return auth.isAllowed($state.current.name);
                    }
             },
          })

... however $state.current.name is empty at the point which it is used. How can I pass the state's name (i.e. "home")?

in 1.0.0-rc.2 you will be able to inject the state context for the resolve as $state$. Example: http://plnkr.co/edit/sAOIzOp1HYlBmgivAPRe?p=preview

You can also inject $transition$ to get access to things like the "to" state, i.e.: $transition$.to().

I would like that service to be called as part of the resolve, so that the view never loads if the user should not have access.

Also note that in 1.0, this is not a good use of resolve. This is the perfect use of a transition hook such as an onStart hook
