Angular 2 access base href [duplicate]

Answer 1

The Location class has prepareExternalUrl() that takes base href into account.

You can also try to inject constructor(@Inject(APP_BASE_HREF) href:string)

It seems APP_BASE_HREF can't be injected anymore without explicitly providing it.

PlatformLocation provides more details about the URL:

  import {PlatformLocation } from '@angular/common';

  constructor(platformLocation: PlatformLocation) {
    console.log((platformLocation as any).location);
    console.log((platformLocation as any).location.href);
    console.log((platformLocation as any).location.origin);
  }
