The app I am working on contains various states (using ui-router), where some states require you to be logged in, others are publicly available.
I have created a method that validly checks whether a user is logged in, what I am currently having issues with is actually redirecting to our login-page when necessary. It should be noted that the login page is not currently placed within the AngularJS app.
app.run(function ($rootScope, $location, $window) {
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function (event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams) {
if (toState.data.loginReq && !$rootScope.me.loggedIn) {
var landingUrl = $window.location.host + "/login";
console.log(landingUrl);
$window.open(landingUrl, "_self");
}
});
});
The console.log shows the intended url properly. The line after that, I have tried practically everything from $window.open to window.location.href and no matter what I've tried no redirect happens.
EDIT (RESOLVED):
Found the issue.
var landingUrl = $window.location.host + "/login";
$window.open(landingUrl, "_self");
The variable landingUrl was set to 'domain.com/login', which would not work with $window.location.href (which was one of the things I tried). However after changing the code to
var landingUrl = "http://" + $window.location.host + "/login";
$window.location.href = landingUrl;
it now works.
It might help you! demo

I believe the way to do this is
$location.url('/RouteTo/Login');
Edit for Clarity
Say my route for my login view was
/Login
, I would say$location.url('/Login')
to navigate to that route.For locations outside of the Angular app (i.e. no route defined), plain old JavaScript will serve:
Not sure from what version, but I use 1.3.14 and you can just use:
No need to inject
$location
or$window
in the controller and no need to get the current host address.It seems that for full page reload
$window.location.href
is the preferred way.https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/$location
You have to put:
<html ng-app="urlApp" ng-controller="urlCtrl">
This way the angular function can access into "window" object
