Angular $locationProvider.html5Mode with $window variables

Question

I recently run into problems with google indexing because of angular routing. So, the solution that I found was using $locationProvider.html5Mode.

But now I created another problem, the $window variables loose their value when the user navigates between the same page application routes.

There is any way that I can keep the value of an $window variable between controllers using $locationProvider.html5Mode set to true? (In the same page app).

Answer 1

I was doing:

window.location.href = "/base/some_route/";

turns out I should be doing:

$location.path("/someroute");

Hope that this will save time to someone.
