AngularJS: How to remove #!/ (bang prefix) from URL?
I already have done $locationProvider.html5Mode(true); but it is not working. Whenever I access http://example.com it goes to http://example.com/#!/. Code is given here:
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ui.router', 'ui.bootstrap']);
myApp.config(['$qProvider', function ($qProvider) {
$qProvider.errorOnUnhandledRejections(false);
}]);
myApp.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider,$locationProvider) {
// For any unmatched url, redirect to EXTRANET home page
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/');
// Now set up the states
$stateProvider
.state('listrole', {
url: "/list-role",
views: {
'main-content': {
templateUrl: rootUrl+ 'views/main.html',
controller: 'rolesCtrl'
}
}
})
$locationProvider.hashPrefix('');
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});
Update
I added $locationProvider.hashPrefix(''); as well but no difference. Also let me tell you that I am enter address in address bar and hitting enter. Am I doing right? how will browser find that it does not need to refresh from server?
Update #2
Ideally I want URL as http://example.com and http://example.com/#!/list-role to http://example.com/list-role. Right now http://example.com/list-role gives 404
Update #3
I am using nginx proxy, if that helps.
Update #4
Erased Cache. Now I can see http://example.com instead of http://example.com/#! but still http://example.com/list-role gives 404
Answer
If you want to remove this prefix, add this code to your config:
appModule.config(['$locationProvider', function($locationProvider) {
$locationProvider.hashPrefix('');
}]);

Update
If you want to remove the whole prefix (# and not only !), you may try this solution:
1) Activate the HTML5 mode and remove the prefix ! in your module config
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
$locationProvider.hashPrefix('');
2) And then set base to / in the <head> on your index.html
<head>
...
<base href="/">
</head>
