Using $routeProvider to redirect to routes outside of Angular

Question

I\'ve written part of a web application in Angular. To ensure that all routes are covered, I wanted to add a redirectTo property to the $routeProvider

Answer 1

You could do something like this:

$routeProvider.when('/404', {
    controller: ['$location', function($location){
        $location.replace('/');
    }]
}).otherwise({
    redirectTo: '/404'
});

It is essentially the same thing, only it uses less code.
