Angular
$locationProvider
is listening on URL fragment change and with default settings it enfoces!
as a hash prefix. This was causing conflict with react-router when its usinghashHistory
. Both are trying to add their own prefix (angular !#, react #) and that was causing infinite loop.By removing angular default prefix, this conflict was resolved. Note that react
hashHistory
(repo: https://github.com/ReactTraining/history) can be configured with hashbang prefix and we can add it if need be, but both $locationProvider and ReactRouter must have the same prefix in order to work alongside each other.because we are currently not using any angular client-side routing, no existing angular components should be affected.
