Location class

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.

Note: it's better to use Router#navigate service to trigger route changes. Use Location only if you need to interact with or create normalized URLs outside of routing.

Location is responsible for normalizing the URL against the application's base href. A normalized URL is absolute from the URL host, includes the application's base href, and has no trailing slash:

• /my/app/user/123 is normalized
• my/app/user/123 is not normalized
• /my/app/user/123/ is not normalized

Example

import 'package:angular/angular.dart';
import 'package:angular_router/angular_router.dart';

@Component(
  // Should only be provided at the root.
  providers: [routerProviders],
)
class AppComponent {
  AppComponent(Location location) {
    location.go('/foo');
  }
}

Methods

back() → void

Navigates back in the platform's history.

forward() → void

Navigates forward in the platform's history.

go(String path, [String query = '']) → void

Changes the browsers URL to the normalized version of the given URL, and pushes a new item onto the platform's history.

hash() → String

Creates a combined hash code for a number of objects.

override

normalize(String url) → String

Given a string representing a URL, returns the normalized URL path without leading or trailing slashes

normalizePath(String path) → String

Normalizes path for navigation.

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.

inherited

path() → String

Returns the normalized URL path.

prepareExternalUrl(String url) → String

Given a string representing a URL, returns the platform-specific external URL path. If the given URL doesn't begin with a leading slash ('/'), this method adds one before normalizing. This method will also add a hash if HashLocationStrategy is used, or the appBaseHref if the PathLocationStrategy is in use.

replaceState(String path, [String query = '']) → void

Changes the browsers URL to the normalized version of the given URL, and replaces the top item on the platform's history stack.

subscribe(void onNext(Object), [void onThrow(Object)?, void onReturn()?]) → Object

Subscribe to the platform's popState events.

toString() → String

A string representation of this object.

inherited

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool

The equality operator.

Static Methods

joinWithSlash(String start, String end) → String

Given 2 parts of a url, join them with a slash if needed.

normalizeQueryParams(String params) → String

Given a string of url parameters, prepend with '?' if needed, otherwise return parameters as is.

stripTrailingSlash(String url) → String

If url has a trailing slash, remove it, otherwise return url as is.
