How to update the URL without triggering a reload?

[Eric Jain]

I'd like to be able to do e.g. $location.search('q', query) without
having the page reload. It looks like this can be accomplished by
setting reloadOnSearch to false for the route. But this breaks the
back button in the browser, as well as direct editing of the URL.
Suggestions?

I think that you are missing a listener for the $routeUpdate event which would get notified whenever params change.

Once you disable the controller reloading, you are responsible for propagating the $location param changes to your model.

Thanks. Looks like this is the equivalent for 10.6.0?

this.$watch(function() { return $route.current.params; }, function() {
this.refresh();
});

I think that it should be more like:

this.$on('$routeUpdate', function() {

  //refresh

});

You're sure that's supposed to work with 10.6.0?

Looks like the function never gets called...

For the record: I got $on('$routeUpdate') to work after upgrading to
1.0.0r1.
