Misbehaviour on routes with Laravel 5.3 and AngularJS 1.5 - angularjs

Question

I try to create an app with Laravel 5.3 and AngularJS. I want to use the routes and templates from Angular instead of Laravel.
Here is the web.php file from Laravel:
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('index');
});
And here is a part of the ui-router in AngularJS:
routeConfig.$inject = ['$stateProvider'];
function routeConfig ($stateProvider) {
// Routes
$stateProvider
.state('home', {
url: '/',
templateUrl: 'app/views/home.html'
})
.state('register', {
url: '/register?oauth_token&oauth_verifier',
templateUrl: 'app/views/register.html',
controller: 'RegisterController',
controllerAs: 'registerCtrl'
})
};
I have also enabled the html5mode and the base url on head. The problem now:
When I am at home and click the link to go on register page, it works. But If I try to load directly the register page, it loads it through laravel routes and since I haven't mentioned anything about it there, I have a NotFoundHttpException.

Answer 1

That's because when you refresh all routes are handled by laravel first.
I had the same problem and there are 2 approaches:
either put the angular app on a different domain ... but you will run
into CORS issues
or tell laravel to route any route to angular app, and that's easier
Route::any('{path?}', function()
{
return view("index");
})->where("path", ".+");
