Multiple state objects

[mattbroekhuis]

I have been trying to do this all day, to no avail. I have two components.

Component 1 -- uses the router, and changes pages.
Component 2 -- a menu that is independent of the routered component, but could potentially fire events that could change state in the first (routered) component.

I would like to maintain separate (url-less) states scoped to just that second menu component, but everything seems to be tied to root scope no matter what I do. I would like a different instance of the $state for each module, and enable the routing only for one of them.

Is this possible? The FAQ shows * something * about this, but it seems to be fixing the problem where you are getting this behavior and you don't want it.

I'm trying to do the same thing. It doesn't seem possible unless exponentially declaring more states.
