How to build custom URL by adding ?&params in Angular?

Question

I'm trying to build a custom URL and update the URL as the user selects items in my dashboard.

For example, after clicking a few items the URL could/should look like:

#/dashboard?&portfolio=GOOG&ticker1=GOOG

Currently the URL only ends in /dashboard (console.log($location.path());)

How would I update the $location.path() to add params like so? There's plenty of questions/answers and guides on getting params from the URL, but how would you update the URL in the first place?

Say if you want to add the following:

• ?&portfolio=GOOG&ticker1=GOOG

Answer 1

just organize your params in an object, like

var params = {
   portfolio: GOOG,
   ticker1:GOOG
}

and use,

$location.url('/dashboard ').search(params);

Hope it helps !!!

I think I'm understanding what you're saying. I believe you could use a PHP GET function to do that. A GET function in PHP will add the information you're trying to communicate to the backend to the URL, while the POST function does not.
