I am using the Angular ui.router to navigate through my application.
Usually, the url should look like this:
http://localhost:8001/#/start
But in my case, it looks like this:
http://localhost:8001/#!/start
What does it mean?
I also recognized that if I am calling an URL from this site which is different from my start page, I always get redirected as the URL seems to be invalid.
mainApp.config(['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider', function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
'use strict';
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('start');
$stateProvider
.state('start', {
url: '/start',
templateUrl: 'views/start.html'
})
.state('registration-activate', {
url: '/registration/activate/{activationKey}',
templateUrl: 'views/registration-activation.html'
})
;
}]);
Whenever I try to call localhost:8001/#/registration/activate/xyz I get redirected to the start page.
Okay guys, thanks for your explanations.
I resolved my problem that I can't call a URL from a link simply by adding this to my configuration:
$locationProvider.hashPrefix('');
If the browser is HTML5 browser angularJS will redirect it to #!
Otherwise it will be only #.
Read this documentation here on $location to find out more on why this happens.
Opening a regular URL in a legacy browser -> redirects to a hashbang URL
Opening hashbang URL in a modern browser -> rewrites to a regular URL

If I call $state.go('login') using Angular ui router, the suburl looks like this.
Is there a way to hide #!/login? It's first time to use angular ui router and I dont know even it's possible.
So I want to see only localhost:3000/
You can create a state without an url in ui-router, by simply not defining the url property when configuring your states.
Like this:
angular.module('app').config(function ($stateProvider) {
$stateProvider.state('login', {
component: 'loginComponent'
});
});
You wont be able to navigate directly to the login url. But you'll still be able to use ui-sref or $state.go('login') to navigate.
If you still want to be able to navigate directly to the login page, you can configure another login state in addition to the above, where you specify the url property.
angular.module('app').config(function ($stateProvider) {
$stateProvider.state('login', {
component: 'loginComponent'
}).state('loginDirect', {
url: '/login',
component: 'loginComponent'
});
});
Try this in your config file:
$locationProvider.hashPrefix('');
For e.g.
angular.module('myPageApp', ['ui.router'])
.config(function ($stateProvider, $locationProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('app',{
url: '/app',
templateUrl: 'someView.html',
controller: 'appController'
})
...
$locationProvider.hashPrefix('');
});
In above code, you can omit # and ! signs but can't skip the routed state in the URL. You can get the URL as localhost:3000/login or you can set the route on '/' identifier.
If your application does not use HTML5 mode or is being run on browsers that do not support HTML5 mode, and you have not specified your own hash-prefix then client side URLs will now contain a ! prefix.
To make your HTML5 mode ON, try following code.
app.config(['$locationProvider', function($locationProvider) {
$locationProvider.hashPrefix(''); // by default '!'
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
}]);
Also in your header section of HTML, add this Base ref type as below:
<head>
...
<base href="/">
</head>

Hope its helpful!
.state('check', {
url:'/check',
templateUrl: 'views/List.html',
controller: 'ListCtrl'
})
$state.go('check')
works but
location.href='/check'
doesn't. With this I get:
Cannot GET /check/
If I reload the page, then also it results in Cannot GET error but works only if redirected by $state.go
I basically want to be able to load the page when that URL is hit no matter if it was hit through code or reloaded through the browser. Browser reload seems to fail always.
How do I trigger a particular state when redirected to a url?
$locationProvider.html5Mode({
enabled: true,
requireBase: false
});
html5 mode is enabled so url should work fine.
Q: In which component did you define $locationProvider
A: Controller.
Short answer
The best practice is to define $stateProvider into module.config It will guarantee that states will be loaded before any module controller.
app.config(['$locationProvider', '$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider',
function($locationProvider, $stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
// ...
}
In your case, you call URL before controller is loaded and therefore no state is defined. This is a reason why you got error Cannot GET /check/

I'm using $stateProvider to handle my routes in Angular 1 and I'm confused as to why my routes have an /# before they all start. I wouldn't mind but when I test those routes in Postman the routes return a 404 error. I'd like to find out why /# that gets added for my routes and get rid of it so I can connect my front end to my backend in node. I'm kind of new to using angular with node this so I'm not sure if I'm explaining my problem correctly.
Here's my code
app.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider){
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/main");
$stateProvider
.state("main", { url: "/main", templateUrl: "templates/main/main.view.html", controller: "MainCtrl" })
.state("map", { url: "/map", templateUrl: "templates/map/map.view.html", controller: "MapCtrl" })
});
These are what my routes look like
http://localhost:8080/#/main
http://localhost:8080/#/map
but I want them to look like
http://localhost:8080/main
http://localhost:8080/map
To get rid of #/ you would have to set $locationProvider.html5Mode(true); in one of your config files.
angular.module('app', []).config(function ($locationProvider) {
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});
For more information on html5 mode vs hashbang mode, have a look at the official angular documentation
Keep one thing in mind though, in html5 mode, your app might not be able to handle page refreshes properly without some server side url re-routing. More information in one of the stack overflow posts here: Reloading the page gives wrong GET request with AngularJS HTML5 mode
Man, just follow advises here and it's gonna be alright. Removing the fragment identifier from AngularJS urls (# symbol).
And one more usefull link https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/$location.
I trying to make an application that contains multiple views as template. The templates are under the js/app/pages/ folder. And I have 2 templates to show and route. My routing section is:
var app = angular.module("myApp", ['ngRoute', 'ngMaterial']);
app.config(function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/Page', {
templateUrl: 'js/app/pages/Page.html',
controller: 'pageController',
reloadOnSearch: false
})
.when('/Settings', {
templateUrl: 'js/app/pages/Settings.html',
controller: 'settingsController',
reloadOnSearch: false
})
.when('/Admin', {
templateUrl: 'js/app/pages/Admin.html',
controller: 'adminController',
reloadOnSearch: false
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/Page'
});
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});
And my html file contains
<div id="menu"></div>
<div ng-view></div>
Menu div contains menu elements that route me between the pages. For example, when I run this site on browser, URL will be localhost/Page, and when I click the settings button URL change with localhost/Settings. But when I press the F5 button in my keyboard. Page gives me error The resource cannot be found..
I search on the internet "how to refresh routing page in angularjs" and find some solutions but I couldn't make them work for me. I tried $route.reload() and $routeUpdate() method but that does not work for me. Maybe I'm wrong in something.
If you are using Apache server this should work run this in terminal
sudo a2enmod rewrite && sudo service apache2 restart
works for me
Solved! I couldn't manage refresh with ngRoute. Then i convert it into ui-router. I declare the states by urls. And the refresh is working. Thanks for comments and answers. Maybe this will help someone.
Actually when you are pressing F5 from keyboard, it is hitting to your server for that page, not angular because you don't have any # sign between your URL. For angular, URL should be like as - localhost/#/Page
Use html5mode
A great article about it here
to init its very simple
.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
// other routes here
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});
When you "reload a page", you whole app will reinit again. That means if you are not on the main page, and the sub route you are at missing some data, you will likely get an error.
You should look into resolve attribute for routes, so for example,
.when('/Settings', {
templateUrl: 'js/app/pages/Settings.html',
controller: 'settingsController',
reloadOnSearch: false,
resolve: {
resourceone: function(){return whatsneeedtoberesolvehere;}
}
})
that way no matter where your app is reloaded, it will have the necessary data to boot the page
Just keep the # in URL, you don't have to put extra effort to manage reloads etc. you can think a "#" in URL represent a specific state in single page application.
Otherwise it can be managed by module rewriting, that map the url with hashed version URL internally for AngularJs app.
I have a specific logic sequence in my app, and I want a simple way to force my app to start from the welcome page.
I am using this:
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/pages/welcome');
the problem is that otherwise just play with the unknown URLs and redirect them to the welcome, whereas I want to redirect to the welcome in all cases, even in the registered states.
Simply try location.hash = '#/'; like the following:
angular.module('app', []).config(function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
location.hash = '#/';
$stateProvider
.state('welcome', {
url : '/pages/welcome',
templateUrl: 'views/welcome.html',
controller : 'WelcomeCtrl'
});
// if none of the above states are matched, use this as the fallback
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/pages/welcome');
})
i think you are redirecting to page not any state. You need to mredirect to state.
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/state1");
