angularjs - Is it possible to get the current $location in a directive in Angular JS?

Question

Something along the lines of: link: function($scope, element, attrs, $location) {

Is this possible?

Answer 1

In the declaration of the directive, inject the location service.

app.directive('myDirective', ['$location', function($location) {

 return {
  link: function(scope, elem, attrs) {
   // path() and url() can be used as getters or setters
   console.log($location.url());
   console.log($location.path());
  }
 };
}]);

If you are attempting to get the current location, use location.path() or, alternatively, use the $route service.
