Question

#/order/123?status=success

hits the route '/order/:id' and takes to OrderCtrl.

Once we access the $routeParams.query, we want to clear the url to #/order/123. How can this be achieved?

Answer 1

Using the $location service, you can remove the search param by assigning it a null value:

$location.search( 'status', null );

But you should note that, by default, this will reload the current route. If you don’t want to reload the current route, you can disable that in your route definition:

$routeProvider.when( '/order/:id', {
  // yada yada...
  reloadOnSearch: false
});

But the $routeUpdate will still fire and can be reacted to.
