When the StateBuilder builds a State object from a raw StateDeclaration, this builder validates the resolve property and converts it to a Resolvable array.

resolve: input value can be:

{ // analyzed but not injected myFooResolve: function() { return "myFooData"; },

// function.toString() parsed, "DependencyName" dep as string (not min-safe) myBarResolve: function(DependencyName) { return DependencyName.fetchSomethingAsPromise() },

// Array split; "DependencyName" dep as string myBazResolve: [ "DependencyName", function(dep) { return dep.fetchSomethingAsPromise() },

// Array split; DependencyType dep as token (compared using ===) myQuxResolve: [ DependencyType, function(dep) { return dep.fetchSometingAsPromise() },

// val.$inject used as deps // where: // corgeResolve.$inject = ["DependencyName"]; // function corgeResolve(dep) { dep.fetchSometingAsPromise() } // then "DependencyName" dep as string myCorgeResolve: corgeResolve,

// inject service by name // When a string is found, desugar creating a resolve that injects the named service myGraultResolve: "SomeService" }

or:

[ new Resolvable("myFooResolve", function() { return "myFooData" }), new Resolvable("myBarResolve", function(dep) { return dep.fetchSomethingAsPromise() }, [ "DependencyName" ]), { provide: "myBazResolve", useFactory: function(dep) { dep.fetchSomethingAsPromise() }, deps: [ "DependencyName" ] } ]
