RFC - Better State Transitions

[thebigredgeek]

I am sure everyone else has noticed that when you change the state, it jumps to the top of the screen as though it is reloaded. There has to be a worthwhile solution for this, and this is definitely a must-have for my organization so I am willing to dedicate time to solving this. Changing a child state SHOULD ONLY CHANGE THAT VIEW, not render everything else. Is anyone else willing to help me with this?

I'm happy to help out. I think its just a problem with the $anchorScroll though, because ui-router already functions in the way you describe—changing only the views that need to change. I thought that the problem is it scrolls to the top too.

Also, I'd really like to make it possible to do non-linear routing with angular. Currently, you can only have one route/state active at a given time. This isn't great for apps that are very sandbox in design, with multiple states all containing child states simultaneously

[timkindberg]

One thing at a time :) that's a hefty one to tack on.

This issue is conflating two separate issues, both of which are covered elsewhere, so I'm closing this as a duplicate.
