Using HTML5 pushstate on angular.js

Question

I am trying to implement html5's pushstate instead of the # navigation used by Angularjs. I have tried searching google for an answer and also tried the angular irc chat room with no luck yet.

This is my controllers.js:

function PhoneListCtrl($scope, $http) {
    $http.get('phones/phones.json').success(function(data) {
        $scope.phones = data;
    });
}

function PhoneDetailCtrl($scope, $routeParams) {
  $scope.phoneId = $routeParams.phoneId;
}

function greetCntr($scope, $window) {
    $scope.greet = function() {
    $("#modal").slideDown();
    }
}

app.js

angular.module('phoneapp', []).
    config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider){
        $routeProvider.
            when('/phones', {
                templateUrl: 'partials/phone-list.html',
                controller: PhoneListCtrl
            }).
            when('/phones/:phoneId', {
                templateUrl: 'partials/phone-detail.html',
                controller: PhoneDetailCtrl
            }).
            otherwise({
                redirectTo: '/phones'
            });
    }])

Inject $locationProvider into your config, and set $locationProvider.html5Mode(true).

http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$locationProvider

Simple example:

JS:

myApp.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
  $locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
  $routeProvider
    .when('/page1', { template: 'page1.html', controller: 'Page1Ctrl' })
    .when('/page2', { template: 'page2.html', controller: 'Page2Ctrl' })
});

HTML:

<a href="/page1">Page 1</a> | <a href="/page2">Page 2</a>

Could I see a code sample for this when there's already config() for routeProvider? Not sure if I'm supposed to be creating a new config() for this or adding it to the first as an array of configs, and also not sure what the configFn should be (docs.angularjs.org/api/angular.module)

I have done the same but when i click /phones/:phoneId the template url become phones/partials/phone-detail.html and firebug net tab shows html page not found

I am also getting page not found whenever I navigate to a given url in the browser (e.g. /home instead of /). Have you tried enabling html5 for your own site?

You have to configure your server to allow you to pull pages correctly. When you try to navigate to mysite.com/hello, it is trying to GET that page from your server. Instead, you want the browser to GET mysite.com and then use angular to find the browser's location is /hello and go there. So you need to configure your server to give back the mysite.com data no matter which subdomain is entered.

I'd say put your rest API at /api or something, and then make everything but /api/* give out the index.html.
