I need to switch to a new state in my AngularJS app. I am using ui-router to manage the states. The current URL contains query parameters that I use. The URL for the new state should not contain those query parameters. I tried setting the inherit option to false in calls to both $state.go and $state.transitionTo, but neither removed the query parameters. Is that another way to do this?

This sounds like something ui.router definitely does not do. Could you post a Plunkr that reproduces the behavior so we could see it in action? –  Nate Abele Dec 4 '13 at 12:51
    
I started creating a Plunkr, but realized I can't demonstrate the problem in that way. The idea is that the Angular app is accessed with a URL that contains query parameters. I need to process those and remove them from the URL on app startup. Daniel Tabuenca suggested that I try using the History API. That worked for me. In the function I pass to app.config() I just call this: history.replaceState(null, null, '/'); –  Mark Volkmann Dec 5 '13 at 16:14
    
Okay, but you should really be using the $location service. –  Nate Abele Dec 6 '13 at 3:12
