Replace history and then redirect in AngularJS

Question

When trying to access window.location or window.history directly, how can I do the following in AngularJS:

• Replace history for current location
• Redirect to a new location

For example:

• user goes to "/ # / loc1"
• I want history to show that they went to "/ # / loc2"
• Then redirect to "/ # / loc3"
• If they use browser.back, it should return them to "# / loc2"

Answer 1

Is this what you want?

$location.path('/blahblah').replace(); 

See API Docs for $ location
