Angular add slash before hash in url

Question

When I try to add a hash to the url, for example:

<a href="#whatever">whatever</a> 

or

 window.location.hash = 'whatever'; 

he adds '/' in front of the hash world

 => www.mysite.com/#whatever 

but it should be

 => www.mysite.com#whatever 

I know this is caused by angular, but I can find a way to prevent it.
Is there a way to prevent this behavior?

thanks

Answer 1

Turn on html5 mode:

 .config(function($locationProvider) { $locationProvider.html5Mode(true); })

Answer 2

For new users in the AngularJS world, the configuration must be defined when the module is declared. For example:.

 var someModule = angular.module("someModule", [/* dependent modules come here */], function ($locationProvider) { $locationProvider.html5Mode({ enabled: true }); });
