How to get the host in angular2

Question

I'm looking for a way to get the host of the current URL using Angular2. So on

 http://example.com/myapp.html

I want to get:

 example.com

(in angular1 I used $location.host() to parse it out. Is there something similar?)

Answer 1

Well, there's the old fashioned window.location JavaScript object. It has all of the elements that compose a url under it. Try printing it to the console to take a look:

console.log(window.location);

Edit:

What you actually need is window.location.host

See: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/obj_location.asp

Answer 2

window.location.*** it is as mentioned above. Here's the visual representation of different location properties: http://bl.ocks.org/abernier/3070589
