ng-token-auth passwordResetSuccessUrl not redirecting - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am building a rails app with AngularJs on the front end. When resetting a users' password, the email sends as expected, however the reset link does not redirect to the configured passwordResetSuccessUrl and simply goes to:
http://localhost:8000/auth/password/edit?reset_password_token=KNsWjzizNWNsMqzSss8F
As you can see, the redirect_url is not there, should I see it in the url? Also, when clicking through the link, the app does not fire the auth:password-reset-confirm-success event as noted in ng-token-auth documentation.
here's the request:
{"email":"myemail#gmail.com","redirect_url":"http://localhost:8000/#!/updatePassword"}
the response is a 500 error (i find this odd, the email is sent and no error in the server log) with the message:
{"message":"password reset email sent"}
Here's some relevant configuration code:
function authConfig($authProvider,envServiceProvider) {
let url = envServiceProvider.is('development') ? 'http://localhost:8000' : 'https://miles-board.herokuapp.com';
$authProvider.configure([{
'default': {
apiUrl: url,
emailRegistrationPath: '/users',
confirmationSuccessUrl: window.location.href,
validateOnPageLoad: false,
passwordResetSuccessUrl: url+'/#!/updatePassword'
}},
{'user': {
apiUrl: url,
emailRegistrationPath: '/users',
confirmationSuccessUrl: window.location.href,
validateOnPageLoad: false,
passwordResetSuccessUrl: url+'/#!/updatePassword'
}},
{'team_owner' : {
apiUrl: url,
emailRegistrationPath: '/team_owners',
confirmationSuccessUrl: window.location.href,
validateOnPageLoad: false,
passwordResetSuccessUrl: url+'/#!/updatePassword'
}
}]
);
console.log('is dev: ', envServiceProvider.is('development'))
}
I had issues with the email confirmation, as well, so I assume I've missed something in my set up, but I'm not sure what.
Being new to rails, I have to ask a very newbie question: I have the devise_token_auth gem installed, do I need to install devise as well, or does the devise_token_auth include that?
In my devise_token_auth.rb intializer, I have included this as well:
config.default_password_reset_url = 'http://localhost:8000/#!/updatePassword'
Please let me know if there's any other information I can provide.

Okay, I got this working, here's what I had to do go get it working with an AngularJS front end and Rails back:
Override the PasswordsController create, update, edit, and after_resetting_password_path_for
For the create and update functions, the primary issue was that I needed it to render a json response, so where it says something like respond_with resource I changed to render json: resource, status: <status>, && return (you can change resource and status to what you need for your application, same with the render method)
For edit, instead of using after_sending_reset_password_instructions_path_for, I grabbed the redirect URL from the email and simply do a redirect_to params[:redirect_url]
and I changed after_resetting_password_path_for to redirect where I want the user to be logged in to.
I also had to change the reset_password_instructions.html.erb template. the line which contains edit_password_url to this:
<p><%= link_to t('.password_change_link'), edit_password_url(#resource, reset_password_token: #token, config: 'default', redirect_url: message['redirect-url'].to_s+'?reset_token='+#token).html_safe %></p>
Then in routes.rb, I had to let devise know to use my controller:
mount_devise_token_auth_for 'User', at: 'auth', controllers: { passwords: 'passwords' }
I'm not thrilled about the redirect URL portion in edit, it has a code smell to it that I don't exactly like, but it works. If some one has advice on that front, I would appreciate it!
