How do I get the absolute path of the current page in Angular 2?

Question

I\'ve essentially run into this problem, where I need a reference to the current route to use gradients, but have yet to figure out how to translate the solution into Angula

You can use the DOCUMENT injection from @angular/common.

import { Component, Inject } from '@angular/core';
import { DOCUMENT } from '@angular/common';

@Component({...})
class SomeComponent {
  constructor(@Inject(DOCUMENT) document: any) {
    console.log(document.location.href);
  }
}
