In my application i am passing parameters for controller and read it using javascript as below.
localhost:8080/app/conroller#parameter=value
now problem is if i open my conroller in url and than append #parameter=value than only it works.
but i want to put whole link in anchor tag.
and when i click outside application than it automatically reroute localhost:8080/app/conroller and don't accept parameters.Although when opening that url if i apped #parameter=value* part than it works perfect.
i am using html5mode = true.
i search lots of document but didnt find right solution for this.
Not exactly sure if I get what you are asking but I think this is what you are getting at:
href="/app/conroller#parameter=value" target="_self"
Try adding the target self.
If that doesn't work you could try setting a base url <base href="/"></base>
You could try using ? for the query parameter instead of the #
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.
if my present URL is : xzy.com/#/home/new
$location.hash() gives home/new and $location.path also gives home/new
What is the difference in the two?
If inside the controller of home/new I write $location.hash("#/home/new") or $location.path("/home/new") both do not reload the partial but if I do location.href="#/home/new", it reloads the partial. Why is this?
Also, if inside the partial there is a <a href="#/home/new"> that will also reload the partial.
Why doesn't setting the path/hash reload the partial?
There are two parts to the route.
The first "hash" is really there just for browser compatibility and won't show if you are in HTML5 mode.
For example, given this URL:
http://localhost/spa.htm
If you set:
$location.path('/myPath');
you will get:
http://localhost/spa.htm#/myPath
In this case, the "hash" is just for the browser to hold the URL, the method is path. Note also when you call path without a preceding / it is added, i.e. 'myPath' becomes '/myPath'.
If you subsequently set:
$location.hash('myHash');
You will get:
http://localhost/spa.htm#/myPath#myHash
Finally, let's assume you did not set the path first, then you'll get:
http://locahost/spa.htm#/#myHash
If you are using HTML5 mode, the path is appended without the initial hash.
The first hash is used to append the route, the second is a reference to content on the page. For example, if you use the $anchorScroll service it will respond to what is placed in $location.hash() and not in $location.path().
To summarize:
http://localhost/spa.htm#{path}#{hash}
I had a similar question this morning then Google led me here.
Inspired by other answers and some Googlings I've done, here is my result:
for example, given a browser url:
http://localhost:8080/test.html#!/testpath#testhash%20with%20someothers
in AngularJS ,
url is
/testpath#testhash
path is
/testpath
in another word , from left to right ,path starts at the first character in url and ends at the # or ? or the end of url.
path always start with '/' .so ,if no path is specified ,the path is set as "/" rather than ""
hash is
testhash%20with%20someothers
in another word ,hash starts at the next character of # in url and ends at the end of url
location.href is not implemented in AngularJS. when you say: location.href="#",it behaves like clicking an anchor tag :
click
when invoke the method $location.path,$location.hash as setters, they do change the browser url to match your demands.
And ,why you want AngularJS to RELOAD a page at all? :)
The reason for the second part of your question, why it is not redirecting might be:
You might need to update the binding, with $scope.$apply , this is required when you are using the code other than angular like native javascript, jquery code
for example:
$scope.$apply(function(){
$location.path("#/home/new");
})
I'm new to AngularJS. So far I have been working with a page in root (/), and I haven't seen any issues with the navigation.
Now I added a path - "entries". I see AngularJS is appending the path again, so
http://localhost:9000/entries
becomes:
http://localhost:9000/entries#/entries
And also a request with parameters, like:
http://localhost:9000/entries?par1=a&par2=1
becomes:
http://localhost:9000/entries?par1=a&par2=1#/entries?par1=a&par2=1
I read: $location doc
But still I don't quite understand what's going on here. Is this correct behaviour? If not, how do I turn it off?
This is the correct behavior. Changing paths in angular does not actual correspond to a change in the URL itself, just the fragment (what comes after the #). This is how angular (and JS frameworks in general) keep track of your location and changes it without refreshing.
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();
}
