I'm building a basic AngularJS Login page and the $window.location.href did not re-direct the page to a new html in my system, hosted by WAMP. I even tried re-directing it to google. Nothing happens. I tried all the available solutions here and nothing seems to work. Any solutions ?
JS followed by HTML
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.name = 'World';
$scope.submit = function() {
if ($scope.username && $scope.password) {
var user = $scope.username;
var pass = $scope.password;
if (pass == "admin" && user == "admin@admin.com") {
alert("Login Successful");
$window.location.href = "http://google.com"; //Re-direction to some page
} else if (user != "admin@admin.com") {
alert("Invalid username");
} else if (pass != "admin" && user == "admin@admin.com") {
alert("Invalid password");
}
} else {
alert("Invalid Login");
}
}
});
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>

In angular js you can use $location
. Inject it in your controller :
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, $location) { ... }
And if you want to redirect to google use its url()
method :
$location.url('http://google.fr');
you can also use path()
method for relative url :
$location.path('home'); // will redirect you to 'yourDomain.xx/home'
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$location
It is worth noting the current documentation for $location
. Specifically the quote:
When should I use $location?
Any time your application needs to react to a change in the current URL or if you want to change the current URL in the browser.
What does it not do?
It does not cause a full page reload when the browser URL is changed. To reload the page after changing the URL, use the lower-level API, $window.location.href.
If you need to redirect the browser to a new page, $window.location is definitely recommended.
Try this,
var homeApp = angular.module('HomeApp', []);
homeApp.controller('HomeController', function ($scope, $http, $window) {
$scope.loginname = "Login To Demo App";
$scope.login = function () {
var name = $scope.username;
var pwd = $scope.password;
var req = {
method: 'POST',
url: '../Account/LoginAccount',
headers: {
'Content-Type': undefined
},
params: { username: name, password: pwd }
}
$http(req).then(function (responce) {
var url = '';
if (responce.data == "True") {
url = '../Account/WelcomePage';
$window.location.href = url;
}
else {
url = '../Account/Login';
$window.location.href = url;
}
}, function (responce) {
});
}
});
You can use $window.location.href
in AngularJS
app.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope,$window) {
$scope.formData = {};
$scope.submitForm = function (formData){
$window.location.href = "jobs";
};
})
Angular has its own location handler named $location
which I prefer to use in angular app;
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, $location) {
inject to your controller and use as following;
$location.path('http://foo.bar')
My two cents -
I could not get $window.location.href
or $location.path
to work to navigate away from a page. In the documentation for $location
(under caveats) it says:
The $location service allows you to change only the URL; it does not allow you to reload the page. When you need to change the URL and reload the page or navigate to a different page, please use a lower level API, $window.location.href.
$location Caveats
Documentation for $window is... lacking. Regardless, neither of the services worked for me in the controller (though $location.path works in my index.run
file).
In this project I am using ui-router, so doing this worked:
$state.go('state.name');
-- where state.name is the string of the state/page name to which the user wants to go, i.e. 'index.users'
