Angular-Fullstack + UI router isn't routing properly - angularjs

Question

I'm attempting to route my application using UIrouter with the current yeoman-fullstack generator without mongoDB. In this example of my issue, everything is default to test and make sure the UI-router is working properly.
Mainly because I'm not understanding and missing something silly and noobish here, so I apologize.
https://github.com/DaftMonk/generator-angular-fullstack
I'm attempting to edit my routes in client/app/app.js using
'use strict';
angular.module('sr388App', [
'ngCookies',
'ngResource',
'ngSanitize',
'ui.router',
'ui.bootstrap'
])
.config(function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider, $locationProvider) {
$urlRouterProvider
.otherwise('/');
$stateProvider
.state('about', {
url: '/about',
template: '<h1>Attempting to have this point at /main/about.html but this is for testing purposes</h1>'
});
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});
Now, testing that, localhost:9000/about will load, but when I try to link the state to the navbar it breaks.
'use strict';
angular.module('sr388App')
.controller('NavbarCtrl', function ($scope, $location) {
$scope.menu = [{
'title': 'Home',
'link': '/',
'title': 'About',
'link': '/about'
}];
$scope.isCollapsed = true;
$scope.isActive = function(route) {
return route === $location.path();
};
});
The console error is
Uncaught SyntaxError: Duplicate data property in object literal not allowed in strict mode
Here is the navbar html
<div class="navbar navbar-default navbar-static-top" ng-controller="NavbarCtrl">
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button class="navbar-toggle" type="button" ng-click="isCollapsed = !isCollapsed">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
sr388
</div>
<div collapse="isCollapsed" class="navbar-collapse collapse" id="navbar-main">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li ng-repeat="item in menu" ng-class="{active: isActive(item.link)}">
<a ng-href="{{item.link}}">{{item.title}}</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I'm certain my fundamental understanding of what's happening (supposed to be happening) is flawed.
I did notice the # is not being added when attempting to load states without changing URL.
<a ng-href="{{item.link}}">{{item.title}}</a>
I thought I had found the problem, and this would fix it
<a ui-sref="{{item.link}}">{{item.title}}</a>
But no dice.
Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. All I'm really trying to do is to create a simple SPA page based on this

That would just simply run through a few different view states.
/#about
/#contact etc.

Answer 1

In ui-sref just put the state name instead of the URL/link
ui-sref="about"
Then it will work
