AngularJs $watch on $location.search doesn't work when reloadOnSearch is false

Question

My routeProvider for route has reloadOnSearch set to false :

 $routeProvider
     .when(
        \"/film/list\",
         


        

Answer 1

$watch(watchExpression, listener, [objectEquality]);

watchExpression => should be either

1. A string evaluated as expression or
2. A function called with current scope as a parameter

So here, You should pass your first parameter as a function.

JavaScript Example =>

$scope.$watch (
                function () { return $scope.$location.search(); };
                function (value) { console.log(value); } 
              );

Typescript example =>

this.$scope.$watch (
                     () => { return this.$location.search(); },
                     (value: any) => { console.log(value); }
                   ) ;

This did work for me.
