Defining the root state

In the routing setup we see a couple of different configurations. The first one is fairly simple.

.state('app', { url: '/app', abstract: true, templateUrl: 'templates/menu.html', controller: 'AppCtrl' })

Here we define the state name and a URL is defined with the value /app. One thing you might have noticed is the abstract key in the configuration object. Setting abstract to true means, as one might expect, that this defined state is actually an abstract state. An abstract state can have child states but can not get activated itself. An abstract state is simply a state that can’t be transitioned to. It is activated implicitly when one of its descendants are activated. This means that we cannot specifically open the /app route in our application.

For more details about abstract states and how to use them, read the excellent documentation from the Angular UI team and contributors.
