Easily redirect to login in Angular?

Question

Is there an easier way to redirect to the login state without using a resolve: {} on each state? My app is growing and adding resolves like loginRequired or skipIfLoggedIn to individual states is cluttering my config blocks. If it helps, I'm using Satellizer for authentication.

Example module route config:

(function () {

    'use strict';

    angular
        .module('uberCoolModule')
        .config(configRoutes);

    configRoutes.$inject = ['$stateProvider'];
    function configRoutes ($stateProvider) {

        $stateProvider

            .state('login', {
                url         : '/login',
                templateUrl : 'entrance/login/login.html',
                data        : { pageTitle: 'Login' },
                resolve: {
                    skipIfLoggedIn: skipIfLoggedIn
                }
            })
            .state('logout', {
                url         : '/logout',
                controller  : 'Logout'
                resolve: {
                    loginRequired: loginRequired
                }
            })
            .state('members', {
                url         : '/members',
                controller  : 'Home'
                resolve: {
                    loginRequired: loginRequired
                }
            });

        function skipIfLoggedIn($q, $auth) {
            var deferred = $q.defer();
            if ($auth.isAuthenticated()) {
                deferred.reject();
            } else {
                deferred.resolve();
            }
            return deferred.promise;
        }

        function loginRequired($q, $location, $auth) {
            var deferred = $q.defer();
            if ($auth.isAuthenticated()) {
                deferred.resolve();
            } else {
                $location.path('/login');
            }
            return deferred.promise;
        }

    }

})();

The easiest way is have a parent state that contains the authorization resolve and make all states that require login be children of that parent state.

A child state can not be accessed if resolve of any of it's ancestor states gets rejected

   app.state('members', {
     url: '/members',
     controller: 'Home'
     resolve: {
       loginRequired: loginRequired
     }
   }).state('members.profile', {
     url: '/profile',
   });

In this example going to /members/profile will fail if loginRequired is rejected
