Ability to specify dynamic parameters only for particular child state

[ventralnet]

Previously in ui-router sub v1.0 we had the ability to specify 'reloadOnSearch' to be false for states where we didn't want to trigger a state change when an stateParam was changed

In v1.0 dynamic parameters were introduced to provide this functionality. One situation this doesn't cover that reloadOnSearch did was where a parameter was defined on a parent state as regular non dynamic, but having a particular child state specify that parameter to be dynamic (and having all other child states use it as non dynamic)

I dug around, looked through the source code and I don't see a good way to do this directly. What I did if it helps anyone out is to make use of the uiOnParamsChanged event that is fired when parameters (even dynamic parameters change). So basically I made all of my parameters on my parent state dynamic then in my child state where I want to treat my parameter as dynamic I do

ctrl.uiOnParamsChanged = (newParams) => {
   // based on the new params, dull a full hard load of the view, else do a 'soft' load of some of the data
}
