angular encode url search string

how do i encode the keyword that get sent to the server and then decode it?

I can't search for keywords containing chars like .? or / at the moment.

The code displaying is wrong because endpoint returns a object.

 self.search = function (keyword) {
            var endpoint = $location.path(baseEndpoint + "search/").search(keyword),
                deferred = $q.defer();

            $http.get(HttpRequestUrlHelper.ensureUniqueRequestUrl(endpoint), {
            }).success(function (response) {
                deferred.resolve(response);
            }).error(function (error) {
                deferred.reject(error);
            });

            return deferred.promise;
        }

If i use encodeURIComponent() my url is encoded but my controller isn't hit:

request url => /todo/search/Leka%20med%20barnen.?UniqueKey=1404655031784 angular.js:9159
GET http://localhost:49195/todo/search/Leka%20med%20barnen.?UniqueKey=1404655031784 404 (Not Found)
Solution

  • Ended up making a query string instead:

    var endpoint = baseEndpoint + "search?keyword=" + keyword,
