Replace history and then redirect in AngularJS

Question

While trying to access window.location or window.history directly, how can I do the following in AngularJS:

1. Replace the history for current location
2. Redirect to a new location

For example:

• user goes to "/#/loc1"
• I want the history to show they went to "/#/loc2"
• Then redirect to "/#/loc3"
• If they use the browser.back, it should return them to "#/loc2"

Answer 1

Is this what you want?

$location.path('/blahblah').replace();

See API Docs for $location
