You can tweak the html5mode but that is only functional for links included in html anchors of your page and how the url looks like in the browser address bar. Attempting to request a subpage without the hashtag (with or without html5mode) from anywhere outside the page will result in a 404 error. For example, the following CURL request will result in a page not found error, irrespective of html5mode:

$ curl http://foo.bar/phones

although the following will return the root/home page:

$ curl http://foo.bar/#/phones

The reason for this is that anything after the hashtag is stripped off before the request arrives at the server. So a request for http://foo.bar/#/portfolio arrives at the server as a request for http://foo.bar. The server will respond with a 200 OK response (presumably) for http://foo.bar and the agent/client will process the rest.

So in cases that you want to share a url with others, you have no option but to include the hashtag.

This answer assumes that you are using nginx as reverse proxy and you already did set  locationProvider html5mode to true   - For the people who might still be struggling with all cool stuff above   Surely   maxim grach solution works fine  but for the solution for how to respond to requests that doesn t want the hashtag to be included in the first place what can be done is check if php is sending 404 and then rewrite the url  Following is the code for nginx   In the php location  detect 404 php error and redirect to another location    location     php           fastcgi intercept errors on    error page 404    redirect  request uri       Then rewrite url in redirect location and proxy pass the data  offcourse  put your website url at the place of my blog s url   Request   Question this only after you tried it   location  redirect     rewrite   redirect        1    proxy pass http   www techromance com      And see the magic   And it definitely works  atleast for me

To remove the Hash tag for a pretty URL and also for your code to work after minification you need to  structure your code like the example below   jobApp config    routeProvider    locationProvider       function  routeProvider   locationProvider             routeProvider              when                        templateUrl   views job-list html                   controller   JobListController                              when   menus                     templateUrl   views job-list html                   controller   JobListController                              when   menus  id                     templateUrl   views job-detail html                   controller   JobDetailController                              you can include a fallback by  including  otherwise               redirectTo    jobs                            check browser support         if window history  amp  amp  window history pushState                  locationProvider html5Mode true   will cause an error  location in HTML5 mode requires a  tag to be present  Unless you set baseUrl tag after head tag like so   lt head gt   lt base href     gt               to know more about setting base URL visit  https   docs angularjs org error  location nobase              if you don t wish to set base URL then use this           locationProvider html5Mode                    enabled  true                   requireBase  false

Be sure to check browser support for the html5 history API     if window history  amp  amp  window history pushState        locationProvider html5Mode true

User · Answer

Follow 2 steps-  1  First set the  locationProvider html5Mode true  in your app config file  For eg -  angular module  test     ui router     config function  stateProvider   urlRouterProvider   locationProvider     locationProvider html5Mode true    urlRouterProvider otherwise               2 Second set the  lt base gt  inside your main page  For eg -     lt base href     gt     The  location service will automatically fallback to the hash-part method for browsers that do not support the HTML5 History API

According to the documentation  You can use    locationProvider html5Mode true  hashPrefix            NB  If your browser does not support to HTML 5  Dont worry  D it have   fallback to hashbang mode  So  you don t need to check with if window history  amp  amp  window history pushState         manually   For example  If you click   lt a href   other  gt Some URL lt  a gt    In HTML5 Browser  angular will automatically redirect to example com other  In Not HTML5 Browser  angular will automatically redirect to example com    other

Step 1  Inject the  locationProvider service into the app config s constructor  Step 2  Add code line  locationProvider html5Mode true  to the app config s constructor   Step 3  in the container  landing  master  or layout  page  add  html tag such as  lt base href     gt  inside the  tag   Step 4  remove all     for routing config from all anchor tags  For examples  href   home  becomes href  home   href   about  becomes herf  about   href   contact  becomes href  contact     lt ul class  nav navbar-nav  gt        lt li gt  lt a href  home  gt Home lt  a gt  lt  li gt        lt li gt  lt a href  about  gt About us lt  a gt  lt  li gt        lt li gt  lt a href  contact  gt Contact us lt  a gt  lt  li gt   lt  ul gt

If you are in  NET stack with MVC with AngularJS  this is what you have to do to remove the      from url     Set up your base href in your  Layout page   lt head gt   lt base href     gt   lt  head gt  Then  add following in your angular app config    locationProvider html5Mode true  Above will remove     from url but page refresh won t work e g  if you are in  yoursite com about  page refreash will give you a 404  This is because MVC does not know about angular routing and by MVC pattern it will look for a MVC page for  about  which does not exists in MVC routing path  Workaround for this is to send all MVC page request to a single MVC view and you can do that by adding a route that catches all    url    routes MapRoute      name   App       url     url        defaults  new           controller    Home   action    Index
