Turn off URL manipulation in AngularJS

by

Not sure of the side effects of this, but it gets the job done. Note that it will disable all location manipulation from the angular app, even if intended.

angular.module('sample', [])
    .config( ['$provide', function ($provide){
        $provide.decorator('$browser', ['$delegate', function ($delegate) {
            $delegate.onUrlChange = function () {};
            $delegate.url = function () { return ""};
            return $delegate;
        }]);
    }]);

ES6 variant:

angular.module('sample', [])
    .config(["$provide", $provide => {
        $provide.decorator("$browser", ["$delegate", $delegate => {
            $delegate.onUrlChange = () => { };
            $delegate.url = () => "";

            return $delegate;
        }]);
    }]);

Tested in Chrome 30, IE9, IE10.
