Passing parameter inside $location.path in Angular

Question

I'm just trying to use $location.path() in my controller but also passing a custom variable as a parameter. So it would look something like this I guess:

$scope.parameter = 'Foo';  $location.path('/myURL/' + $scope.parameter); 

But that doesn't work. Anyone know how this is supposed to be done in Angular?

Answer 1

to add Parameters you should use $location.search() method so:

$location.path('/myURL/').search({param: 'value'}); 

$location methods are chainable.

this produce :

/myURL/?param=value 

Answer 2

The another way to add parameter to url is:

 $location.path('/myURL/'+ param1); 

and you can define route to myPage.html:

config(['$routeProvider', function ($routeProvider) {         $routeProvider.when('/myURL/:param1', {             templateUrl: 'path/myPage.html',             controller: newController             });     }]); 

The parameter can then be accessed in newController as follows:

var param1= $routeParams.param1;
