AngularJs - Route by exact match only is possible?

Question

In my app, I would like to match the url exactly. in case the url doesn't match exactly, I require to redirect to defualt as '`.

at present I require to test:

localhost:3000/sn=1234 or localhost:3000/sn=abc123 or localhost:3000/sn=abc123

that means, minimum the sn= should presence with values whether by number or alphabets or both mixed.

at present my state looks like this:

.state('serialCreateCase', {
        url: '^/sn={serialNumber}',
        templateUrl:'app/createCase/create-case.html',
        controller: 'createCaseController as ctrl'

      })

But it works for : both localhost:3000/sn=, localhost:300/sn - how to prevent this? and match the required value?

Thanks in advance.

You can use a regular expression qualifier for the state parameter. For example

url: '/sn={serialNumber:[a-z0-9]+}'

See https://ui-router.github.io/docs/0.3.1/#/api/ui.router.util.type:UrlMatcher

Note: I removed the ^ prefix you had on your URL. No documentation I've seen supports such a format.
