Escape '/' in angularjs variables

Question

I would like to know how I can escape / in angularjs so that I can send it as a path variable to call a restful service. As of now I am getting 404 whenever I try to send a url with path variable values having /; even if I encode it doesn't work.

For example

http://monish.home.com/payment/9a2c1ae67d4ff85e561679fcff/credit/%252B8VMWj/YBC%252FNj3l/fetch/options

Is there a way where I can encode and escape the /?

Seriously, your question's example contains payment details for a transaction and you want to bypass URL specifications that say encoding a forward slash is a security risk. You don't work for Sony do you? — Reactgular

Yes, its called encodeURIComponent

var a = 'http://monish.home.com/payment/9a2c1ae67d4ff85e561679fcff/credit/%252B8VMWj/YBC%252FNj3l/fetch/options'
encodeURIComponent(a); // result: "http%3A%2F%2Fmonish.home.com%2Fpayment%2F9a2c1ae67d4ff85e561679fcff%2Fcredit%2F%25252B8VMWj%2FYBC%25252FNj3l%2Ffetch%2Foptions"

I dont think it works.. i tried it but doesnt work for forward slash /

what doesn't work? This encodes the / just as you asked

try it in your console

I have fixed this issue and there is a peculiar solution to this.. 1. You have encode the creditId encodeURIComponent() for eg encodeURIComponent(creditId) 2. Secondly you have to encode the whole url in service using encodeURI() for eg encodeURI('/payment/'+id+'/credit/'+creditId+'/fetch/options') ..remember here encodeURIComponent doesnt work hence use the first option of encodeURI().. Now this sanitizes the whole url and will work fine
