$location in AngularJs

The $location function in AngularJS gives the browser access to URLs. It allows you to interact with the URL in the browser's address bar, such as accessing the current URL, editing the URL, or navigating to a different URL.

Basic Uses

Enter $location in your controller or service.

angular.module('myApp').controller('MyController', ['$scope', '$location', function($scope, $location) {
   // Controller logic
}]);

Accessing the current URL.

var currentUrl = $location.absUrl();

Getting or Setting the Path

var path = $location.path(); // Gets the current path (e.g., '/home')
$location.path('/newPath'); // Sets the path to '/newPath'

Navigating to a Different URL

$location.url('/newUrl'); // Changes the full URL to '/newUrl'

Changing URL and Keep Browser History

$location.path('/newPath').search({ param: 'value' });

Reloading the current Route

$location.path($location.path()).search($location.search());
  • $location allows you to interact with URLs in AngularJS applications.
  • Use $location.path() to get or set the path portion of the URL.
  • Use $location.url() to set or get the full URL.


Important for single page applications (SPAs) where navigation takes place without full page redirection.
