You can pass your function as dependency in resolve and it will wait until dependency is resolved and when your dialog ends then change the route and modify history as you wish using $location
var app = angular.module('myApp', [])
.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/view1', {
template: ' ',
controller: //empty function,
resolve: {
data1 : function($dialog, $location) {
var promise = $dialog.messageBox(title, msg, btns)
.open()
.then(function(result){
alert('dialog closed with result: ' + result);
//Use [$location][1] to change the browser history
});
return promise;
}
}
});
}]);
