angularjs - null is getting returned when $location.search is used -

i using $location.search params url gives null. url http://localhost/site/?user=12345.

app.controller('urlcontroller', ['$scope', '$log','$location', function($scope,$log,$location) {      var testsearch = $location.search();     console.log(testsearch);  }])  

i want value 12345 user parsing url. how can achieved.

how can parse params url. checked documentation https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$location

you need use $window

so:

var qstring = $window.location.search.substring(1);

the substring(1) removes ?

you can use function, one, parse object

string.prototype.parsequerystring = function () {     var query = {};     var = this.split('&');     (var in a)     {         var b = a[i].split('=');         query[decodeuricomponent(b[0])] = decodeuricomponent(b[1]);     }      return query;  } 

and call with:

var qparts = qstring.parsequerystring();

issues $location

there known issues $location depending on html5 mode etc. $window doesn't have issue. e.g https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/7239
