Back to previous page without reload

Question

I would like to return user form detail page to previous page (list of users).

If i try to click to back button in the browser, app request is processed via app router and list page is reloaded again.

I would like to add back button into detail which return user to previous page without reload method in ng-init.

Is it possible? And if yes, how to easily solve it?

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

In your app.config enable HTML5 push state through

$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
$locationProvider.hashPrefix('!');

(Make sure to inject $locationProvider)

Now you can watch the location change events and can update your view accordingly using - $locationChangeStart - $locationChangeSuccess

Also you can change the route using $location.path(), $location.url() on your back button.
