$locationProvider

Use $locationProvider during module configuration to choose how AngularTS reads and writes browser URLs.

Exact provider members are documented in TypeDoc:

• LocationProvider

HTML5 Mode

HTML5 mode uses the History API for clean URLs. Server routing must return the application shell for deep links.

angular.module('app', []).config(($locationProvider) => {
  $locationProvider.html5ModeConf = {
    enabled: true,
    requireBase: false,
    rewriteLinks: true,
  };
});

Hash Prefix

Hash mode keeps application state after the # fragment. Configure the prefix when you need hashbang-style URLs or compatibility with existing links.

angular.module('app', []).config(($locationProvider) => {
  $locationProvider.hashPrefixConf = '!';
});
