angularJS routing: unnecessary params in url

In my app if I receive password reset instructions I go to server with url like:

/changepass?key=1231231231212312

in controller I have such code:

  if (typeof $routeParams.key !== 'undefined') {
    $scope.changePassword();
  }

but when I change password and want to login in same view, I go to another location, but this ?key=123123123 is still there. What did I do wrong, and how to go to empty: /company without any keys?

$scope.login = function() {
        ***
                $location.path('/company');
                ***
      };

also I tried $scope.$apply($location.path('/company')); but still when I go to company after login I have params in url. How to solve this?

In routing:

    .when('/signin', {
        templateUrl: 'views/authorization.html',
        controller: 'AuthorizationCtrl'
    })
    .when('/changepass', {
        templateUrl: 'views/authorization.html',
        controller: 'AuthorizationCtrl'
    })
Solution

  • There are two ways by using which you can achieve this

    • $location#url

    $location.url($location.path('/company'));

    • $location.search

    $location.search('key', null);

    When you are using angularjs you can use its built in functions like angular.isDefined

    if(angular.isDefined($routeParams.key)){
     $scope.changePassword();
}
