AngularJS change url with $location - angularjs

I'm trying to change the URL with AngularJS,
but not with a redirect, just change the URL
after an event.
What I need is this:
www.myurl.com/inbox/1 to this www.myurl.com/inbox/25
In other words, just change the last Id.
I'm trying to do this:
$location.path('/inbox/'+id);
But what I'm getting is this:
www.myurl.com/inbox/1#/inbox/25

Angular enforces the idea of one page web app. Browsers don't take any actions on change of anything after '#' value. So the best practice is to add variable attributes in url after '#' value which will keep the base url and attribute look clean on browser's address bar as well as solve your problem. My advice is to keep username, page no. , or any specific attribute id after '#' value.
In your case you should use something like above said
www.myUrl.com/#/inbox/25
or
www.myUrl.com/inbox/#/25

usually angular URLs look like
www.myurl.com/#/inbox/1
in which case
$location.url('/inbox/25');
should work for you

For that you should use .url() instead of .path()
$location.url(`/inbox/${id}`)

Pretty url with Angularjs/.htaccess

I've been struggling with this for a week now. I use Anguarjs and I set the html5mode(true) to get rid of the hash sign "#" that you needed in the url before.
Everything works fine amd my URL logic works with Query Parameters.
www.domain.com/thecurrentpage/?title=banana
And it changes and refresh the page when I click on something else and then it displays the right content.
I just want to be able to have a link like:
www.domain.com/thecurrentpage/banana
And come to the same page.
That actually will point you to the first one with query params.
I feels like I've tried everything in the .htaccess file with rewrite rules and everything with angular routing. I just don't get it.
you want to use the : syntax in your routing.
In your routing add a route like this:
/thecurrentpage/:title
Then you can use:
$routeParams.title
To get the value "banana"

Use Angular's $location to get URL parameters from URL string instead of current URL

Can I (re)use Angular's $location or another Angular module to get URL parameters from a url? Or do I need to add (yet) another separate JS package to do this?
I have a URL string which I want to get the URL parameters from (aka searchstring). I know there's logic to do this in Angular.js, because $location has the search method. This returns the url parameters part as an object. For instance for a url https://www.domain.org/cool?minPrice=40&maxPrice=50 I can get the maxPrice value using: $location.search().maxPrice.
But this works only for the current url in the browser bar. I'm setting up an ngMock function that has to get url params from a URL passed in as a string parameter. I DON'T want a DIY solution as there is so much debate about what is correct, performant, etc due to things you might not think of it at first like:
- bad performance of regexp
- needing to url encode parameters
- order dependence, etc.
So I'd love to get this gift-wrapped. And ideally as an included-in-Angular solution so there's also no work for wrapping things up in an Angular service :P.
Note: If it's not possible I'll probably use uri.js, which I used to satisfaction in a non-Angular project a while ago.

AngularJS: How to provide a search facility and cause route change passing in params?

I need to be able to offer a search facility that will show results, I suppose allowing this route to be be bookmarkable.
What are my options here?
Do I just need to create a new route and place a resolve on there so that i can call my rest service and only display the page when its ready. Then i presume I would force a change of route via my existing controller ?
Problem I see is that I need to store a number of items on the URL, all the search params otherwise it won't be bookmarkable. Is the only way to do this by passing ugly querystrings ?
And how would I access the querystrings from angularjs so i could extract my params that i need to send along to the rest service.
I have tried googling for something similar or an example but I can't seem to find anything.
Has anyone done something similar, any pointers would be really helpful.
thanks
The $location service has a search method that acts as both a getter and a setter for querystring parameters.
It will return an object that corresponds to your parameters:
{
foo:123,
bar:'Kittens'
}

AngularJS: How to clear query parameters in the URL?

My AngularJS application needs to have access to the user's LinkedIn profile. In order to do that I need to redirect the user to a LinkedIn URL which contains a callback redirect_uri parameter which will tell LinkedIn to redirect the user back to my webapp and include a "code" query param in the URL. It's a traditional Oauth 2.0 flow.
Everything works great except that LinkedIn redirects the user back to the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/?code=XXX&state=YYY#/users/123/providers/LinkedIn/social-sites
I would like to remove ?code=XXX&state=YYY from the URL in order to make it clean. The user does not need to see the query parameters I received from LinkedIn redirect.
I tried $location.absUrl($location.path() + $location.hash()).replace(), but it keep the query params in the URL.
I am also unable to extract the query parameters, e.g. "code", using ($location.search()).code.
It seems like having ? before # in the URL above is tricking Angular.
I use
$location.search('key', null)
As this not only deletes my key but removes it from the visibility on the URL.
I ended up getting the answer from AngularJS forum. See this thread for details
The link is to a Google Groups thread, which is difficult to read and doesn't provide a clear answer. To remove URL parameters use
$location.url($location.path());
To remove ALL query parameters, do:
$location.search({});
To remove ONE particular query parameter, do:
$location.search('myQueryParam', null);
To clear an item delete it and call $$compose
if ($location.$$search.yourKey) {
delete $location.$$search.yourKey;
$location.$$compose();
}
derived from angularjs source : https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/c77b2bcca36cf199478b8fb651972a1f650f646b/src/ng/location.js#L419-L443
You can delete a specific query parameter by using:
delete $location.$$search.nameOfParameter;
Or you can clear all the query params by setting search to an empty object:
$location.$$search = {};
At the time of writing, and as previously mentioned by #Bosh, html5mode must be true in order to be able to set $location.search() and have it be reflected back into the window’s visual URL.
See https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/1521 for more info.
But if html5mode is true you can easily clear the URL’s query string with:
$location.search('');
or
$location.search({});
This will also alter the window’s visual URL.
(Tested in AngularJS version 1.3.0-rc.1 with html5Mode(true).)
Need to make it work when html5mode = false?
All of the other answers work only when Angular's html5mode is true. If you're working outside of html5mode, then $location refers only to the "fake" location that lives in your hash -- and so $location.search can't see/edit/fix the actual page's search params.
Here's a workaround, to be inserted in the HTML of the page before angular loads:
<script>
if (window.location.search.match("code=")){
var newHash = "/after-auth" + window.location.search;
if (window.history.replaceState){
window.history.replaceState( {}, "", window.location.toString().replace(window.location.search, ""));
}
window.location.hash = newHash;
}
</script>
If you want to move to another URL and clear the query parameters just use:
$location.path('/my/path').search({});
Just use
$location.url();
Instead of
$location.path();
If you are using routes parameters just clear $routeParams
$routeParams= null;
How about just setting the location hash to null
$location.hash(null);
if you process the parameters immediately and then move to the next page, you can put a question mark on the end of the new location.
for example, if you would have done
$location.path('/nextPage');
you can do this instead:
$location.path('/nextPage?');
I've tried the above answers but could not get them to work. The only code that worked for me was $window.location.search = ''
I can replace all query parameters with this single line: $location.search({});
Easy to understand and easy way to clear them out.
The accepted answer worked for me, but I needed to dig a little deeper to fix the problems with the back button.
What I noticed is that if I link to a page using <a ui-sref="page({x: 1})">, then remove the query string using $location.search('x', null), I don't get an extra entry in my browser history, so the back button takes me back to where I started. Although I feel like this is wrong because I don't think that Angular should automatically remove this history entry for me, this is actually the desired behaviour for my particular use-case.
The problem is that if I link to the page using <a href="/page/?x=1"> instead, then remove the query string in the same way, I do get an extra entry in my browser history, so I have to click the back button twice to get back to where I started. This is inconsistent behaviour, but actually this seems more correct.
I can easily fix the problem with href links by using $location.search('x', null).replace(), but then this breaks the page when you land on it via a ui-sref link, so this is no good.
After a lot of fiddling around, this is the fix I came up with:
In my app's run function I added this:
$rootScope.$on('$locationChangeSuccess', function () {
$rootScope.locationPath = $location.path();
});
Then I use this code to remove the query string parameter:
$location.search('x', null);
if ($location.path() === $rootScope.locationPath) {
$location.replace();
}

cakephp pagination: how to set a different 'page' parameter

Is there any way to configure a different param for the current page number?
for example, I have this paginated url:
http://localhost/petproject/posts/index/page:2
And I would like to have the url like this:
http://localhost/petproject/posts/index/my_custom_page_param:2
Thank you!
You could simply use the router to transform the URL into something else that matches your needs by adding a rewrite rule for that URL. Without researching it further I think this is the most easy solution.
Another one might be to check in Controller::beforeFilter() if your custom named arg is set and copy/set it to params['named']['page'].
Or extend the Paginator component and create your customized version of it.
