How can I decode part of the query string of a URL in my AngularJS application?

Question

I have this code:

var search = $location.search();
    if (angular.isDefined(search.load) && search.load != null) {
        if (search.load = "confirmEmail")
            authService.confirmEmailUserId = search.userId;
            authService.confirmEmailCode = search.code;
            $state.transitionTo("auth.content", {
                content: search.load
            });
    }

It's in the app.run and it looks at the URL used to open the app.

But search.code was encoded with the C#

 var callbackUrl  = "http://localhost:2757/index.html" +
                    "?load=email" +
                    "&userId=" + user.Id +
                    "&code=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(code);

How can I get back the original value of code before it was passed to UrlEncode?

You could use the decodeURIComponent() JavaScript function. This function takes as parameter an URL encoded string and returns its unencoded form.

In your case, you could either decode the entire URL

var search = decodeURIComponent($location.search());

or just the code part

authService.confirmEmailCode = decodeURIComponent(search.code);
