How to use Querystring with $location.path() in AngularJS

Question

I want to redirect user to another page after successful login using query string. If I copy & paste to browser\'s address bar http://example.com/#/login?ref=/path

Answer 1

It should be

$location.path('/login').search('ref', '/path/to/redirect')

Answer 2

I had the same problem.

I want to change path and search the same time.

It is possible by doing this:

$location.$$search ={foo:'bar', buz:'buz'}
$location.$$path = '/some/path'
$location.$$compose()

It is not documented and it could broke at any new angular version.
