$location.state()

This method is getter / setter.

Return the history state object when called without any parameter.

Change the history state object when called with one parameter and return $location. The state object is later passed to pushState or replaceState.

NOTE: This method is supported only in HTML5 mode and only in browsers supporting the HTML5 History API (i.e. methods pushState and replaceState). If you need to support older browsers (like IE9 or Android < 4.0), don't use this method.
