Regarding $location.search, the docs say,
Return search part (as object) of current url when called without any parameter.
In my
In my NodeJS example, I have an url "localhost:8080/Lists/list1.html?x1=y" that I want to traverse and acquire values.
In order to work with $location.search() to get x1=y, I have done a few things
my list1.js has
var app = angular.module('NGApp', ['ngRoute']); //dependencies : ngRoute
app.config(function ($locationProvider) { //config your locationProvider
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true).hashPrefix('');
});
app.controller('NGCtrl', function ($scope, datasvc, $location) {// inject your location service
//var val = window.location.href.toString().split('=')[1];
var val = $location.search().x1; alert(val);
$scope.xout = function () {
datasvc.out(val)
.then(function (data) {
$scope.x1 = val;
$scope.allMyStuffs = data.all;
});
};
$scope.xout();
});
and my list1.html has
<head>
<base href=".">
</head>
<body ng-controller="NGCtrl">
<div>A<input ng-model="x1"/><br/><textarea ng-model="allMyStuffs"/></div>

If you just need to look at the query string as text, you can use: $window.location.search
If your $location.search()
is not working, then make sure you have the following:
1) html5Mode(true)
is configured in app's module config
appModule.config(['$locationProvider', function($locationProvider) {
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
}]);
2) <base href="/">
is present in your HTML
<head>
<base href="/">
...
</head>
