remove hashtag # in url by angularjs

[saade]

• I'm submitting a ...
• [x] support request

I'm trying to remove the # from url, if i try to access: http://localhost:8000 my app works, but if i need to navigate to other page like: http://localhost:8000/home the page becomes blank.

i have done:

In my angular routes:

$locationProvider.html5Mode({
        enabled: true,
        requireBase: true
    });

on index.blade.php:

<base href="/">

and finally, after reading this thread: #407 in my handler.php:

public function render($request, Exception $e)
    {
        return view('index');
    }

but the page becomes blank.

• Laravel & Angular version: 3.4.x

I had success with:

return response()->view('index', [], 404);

is this correct and safe to use?

Hi @SaadeMotion Please take a look at this thread

I don't think it's a good idea to return 404s

Just return response()->view('index'); ??

As noted here, you can enable HTML5 mode in ui-router by writing: $locationProvider.html5Mode(true) and then in Laravel you need a Catch all route
