ui-sref should inherit params like mgo-ui-router-goto

[eahutchins]

I've started using the ui-sref directive (switching from mgo-ui-router-goto) and one of the nice features was inheritance of parameters from parent states. Spelling all the parameters out each time is an error-prone pain for complex navigation. edit: it should also be possible to change parameters without changing the state: ui-sref='({ param: newvalue })' might work as syntax for that.

Also a relative state reference would be useful (i.e. if you're in foo and want to get to foo.bar you should be able to do ui-sref='.bar', if you're in foo.bar and want to get to foo.baz use something like ui-sref='..baz', ui-sref='..' to get to the parent, etc). I'm not sure what the right syntax should be for this one though.

Pretty sure we've thrown all these ideas around already (not making a stab at you, because they are very good ideas, and would be really helpful). I think its just a matter of finding the time to implement them. @nateabele were you working on any of these?

@eahutchins please feel free to submit a pull request for any of those features, we are short on helpers.

I'm working on an implementation and I'd be happy to contribute, is there any consensus on what relative-state addressing should look like? searching ui-sref or uiSref doesn't find any issues (any links to the discussions would be appreciated).

This is already in progress. See #15.

@ksperling Yeah, I'll try and finish up my implementation by Wednesday.

[timkindberg]

@nateabele is yours going to do this?

" if you're in foo and want to get to foo.bar you should be able to do ui-sref='.bar'."

[nateabele]

Not that syntax, but yes.
