Location is a service that applications can use to interact with a browser's URL. Depending on which LocationStrategy is used, Location will either persist to the URL's path or the URL's hash segment.
Location is responsible for normalizing the URL against the application's base href.
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {Location} from '@angular/common';
@Component({
selector: 'app-component'
})
class AppCmp {
constructor(_location: Location) {
//Changes the browsers URL to the normalized version of the given URL,
//and pushes a new item onto the platform's history.
_location.go('/foo');
}
backClicked() {
//Navigates back in the platform's history.
this._location.back();
}
forwardClicked() {
//Navigates forward in the platform's history.
this._location.back();
}
}
