Question

I need to get the full base URL (e.g. http://localhost:5000 or https://productionserver.com) of my Angular 2 app so that I can pass it along to a 3rd party service in the co

Now I'm using the server.ts ngExpressEngine:

import { ngExpressEngine } from '@nguniversal/express-engine';

const {AppServerModuleNgFactory, LAZY_MODULE_MAP} = require('./dist/server/main.bundle');

    const {provideModuleMap} = require('@nguniversal/module-map-ngfactory-loader');

    app.engine('html', ngExpressEngine({
        bootstrap: AppServerModuleNgFactory,
        providers: [
            provideModuleMap(LAZY_MODULE_MAP)
        ]
    }));

And after that I can use in location.service.ts:

constructor(@Optional() @Inject(REQUEST) private request: any,
            @Optional() @Inject(RESPONSE) private response: any,
            @Inject(PLATFORM_ID) private platformId: Object)
{
  if (isPlatformServer(this.platformId))
  {
    console.log(this.request.get('host’)); // host on the server
  } else
  {
    console.log(document.location.hostname); // host on the browser
  }
}
