$location.path(path) vs $location.url(url) in AngularJS

Question

I\'ve seen these calls:

$location.url(\'/path/to/something/\' + id + \'/index\');

and

$location.path(\'/path/to/something/\' +         


        

Answer 1

$location.path() allows you to extract out a specific part of your depending on your search string after the slash and excluding the parameters I guess. And if you don't have a search string then it works the same way as the $location.url() method does.
