How to remove the hash # from the angularjs ng-route
I am trying to use the locationProvider to remove the hashtag from the url routes in angular js but it gives me error.
app.js
var eclassApp = angular.module('eclassApp',
['ngRoute', 'eclassControllers', ]
);
eclassApp.config(['$routeProvider','$locationProvider',
function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider){
$routeProvider.
when('/',{
templateUrl: '/html/student-list.html',
controller: 'StudentsListCtrl',
}).
when('/students/:studentId',{
templateUrl: '/html/student-details.html',
controller: 'StudentDetailsCtrl',
}).otherwise({
redirectTo: '/students'
});
$locationProvider.htmlMode(true);
}]
);
the error:
Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.3.13/$injector/modulerr?p0=eclassApp&p1=TypeE…oogleapis.com%2Fajax%2Flibs%2Fangularjs%2F1.3.13%2Fangular.min.js%3A17%3A1)
Am I missing something?
EDIT: calling the html5Mode function with options object like this
$locationProvider.html5Mode({
enabled:true
})
i get the following error (changed to angular full to get a better explanation of the error istead of the minified version)
Error: [$location:nobase] $location in HTML5 mode requires a <base> tag to be present!
Answer
you can use the $locationProvider like this -
$locationProvider.html5Mode({
enabled: true,
requireBase: false
});
Alternatively, you can use the base tag in your index.html (I suppose this is your landing page)
<head>
<base href="/">
</head>
Removing base tag may cause some side effects in old IE browser like IE9
