angularjs - Redirect to different ui-router state with same url from server? -

currently have state 'home' resides @ url '/'. after user connects, 'client' state loaded, resides @ url '/' , session updated. possible make if user reloads page, 'client' state loaded instead of 'home' state? if @ different urls, have server perform redirect them both @ base url '/'. there functionality in ui-router let me achieve this?

here states:

  app.config(function($stateprovider, $urlrouterprovider,$locationprovider) {      $stateprovider     .state('home', {       url: '/',       controller: 'homepageconroller homectrl',       templateurl: '/views/partials/home.html',       onenter: function($http,$state) {         $http.post('/checkconnected')         .success(function(data,status) {           if (data) {$state.go('client');}         });       }     })      .state('client', {       url: '/',       controller: 'clientcontroller clientctrl',       templateurl: '/views/partials/client.html'     }); 

as can see posting check server see if client connected , doing redirect within angular application, not happy solution @ all. post takes time , home page loaded , seen user before client page shown.

one solution have considered having state called 'client redirect' reside @ '/client' , has same template 'client' state, same $state.go on enter without need of $http.post (because server redirected based on updated session). remove delay , not flash homescreen, not seem elegant.

var app = angular.module("app", [ "ui.router"   ]);  app.config(function ($stateprovider, $urlrouterprovider) {  $urlrouterprovider.otherwise('/index');  $stateprovider          .state("app", {             abstract: true,             url: '/app',             templateurl: "views/layout/app-body.html"         })          .state("index", {             url: "/index",             templateurl: "views/home.html",             controller: 'signincontroller'         })         .state("signin", {             url: "/signin",             templateurl: "views/pages/signin.html",             controller: 'signincontroller'         })         .state("signup", {             url: "/signup",             templateurl: "views/pages/signup.html",             controller: 'signupcontroller'         })             .state('app.home', {             url: '/home',             templateurl: 'views/home/home.html',             controller: 'homecontroller'         })           .state('app.dashboard', {             url: '/dashboard',             templateurl: 'views/dashboard/dashboard.html',             controller: 'dashboardcontroller'         })             .state('app.profile', {             url: '/profile',             templateurl: 'views/pages/profile.html',             controller: 'profilecontroller'         });
