html5mode(true) issue with NodeJS

[Adnan Kukic]

Hi,

I am having this strange issue with when html5mode is turned on.

Background:  I am running NodeJS Express for the backend, but having AngularJS do the routing on the app.  (Express handles my API routes)

so I capture everything and just render the index.html and let angular do it's thing:

app.get('*', function(req, res) {

res.sendfile('./public/index.html');

});

My angularJS routes look something like:

angular.module("app-name", ['services', 'ngResource'])

.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {

$routeProvider.when('/', {

templateUrl: 'views/homeview.html',

controller: 'homeCtrl'

});

$routeProvider.when('/login', {

templateUrl: 'views/loginView.html',

controller: 'loginCtrl'

});

$routeProvider.when('/register', {

templateUrl: 'views/registerView.html',

controller: 'registerCtrl'

});

               $routeProvider.otherwise({

redirectTo: '/'

});

This works perfectly.  I can access the login and register pages just fine, if i type in a route that doesn't exist like "/kdsaj" it just redirects to "/".

The issue I am having is when trying to capture params or deep-linking. 

So if i have a route that's '/about/contact' or '/users/:userId'  angular crashes each time.  The only error I get is: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

Has anyone experienced this problem before or knows any remedies?

Thanks,

Ado

Some more information:

So i did a console.log on the req.url in node, which would get me the information of the request Url. 

When accessing first level links like /about , or /users  I get nothing in the log (because a new request isn't being made?)

but when trying to access deeper like /about/us or /overview/info, the console spits out:

/user/views/aboutView.html

or 

/user/views/usersView.html

Hope this helps.

Hi Damien,

I did find the solution.  I am very busy right now - but will update this post later this week on how to fix it - it's really easy just has a few steps.

Thanks,
