AngularJs - Skip login page if already logged in

Question

I have implemented an Authentication system for my app. I use $routeChangeStart (in run) to check if the user is logged in and redirect him to login if not. This works fine. But, I can access the login page via the url, I want to send the user to the dashboard if he's already logged in. What is the proper way to do this?

Check if the user is already logged inside the $routeChangeStart and redirect it if necessary — originof, Sep 24 '14 at 08:33
I'm already using that! But how do I check if I'm loading up the login page itself? — Rutwick Gangurde, Sep 24 '14 at 08:34
Okay, $locationChangeStart works, thanks! But if this the standard way of doing what I'm trying? — Rutwick Gangurde, Sep 24 '14 at 08:49

Guys try this elegant solution:

.run(function ($rootScope, $location, authService) {
        $rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function (ev, to, toParams, from, fromParams) {
            if (to.requireAuth && !authService.isAuthed()) {
                $location.path("/login");
            }
            else if (to.name == 'login' && authService.isAuthed()) {
                ev.preventDefault();
                $location.path("/dashboard");
            }
        });
    })

if the user is not logged in and login is required it redirect to login.
if the user try to get to login and he already logged in, prevent him from doing it.
mark every path as "requireAuth" and it will work.
place your code in app.js

Try

$rootScope.$on('$locationChangeStart', function(event, newUrl, oldUrl) {});
