Set ng-href to current page

Question

Is it possible to set ng-href to go to the current page?

eg:

<a ng-href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u={{ window.location.href }}">facebook</a>

When the above runs, I keep getting:

<a ng-href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=">facebook</a>

How are you setting value to `window.location.href` ? This sure doesn't look like native JS. — Aniket Sinha, Jan 28 '15 at 06:47

Thanks Aniket. That's exactly what I ended up doing half an hour after I asked the question. Before that, I was beating around the bush hoping that by putting {{ window.location.href }}, it would automatically compute the js within the double brackets. :P – John Fu Jan 29 '15 at 22:43

ng-href is part of AngularJS and there are a few ways to point to the same page. The method I use do not include the domain so the Angular Router will direct it as needed, like the following.

ng-href="/mySubDomain"

The Docs go into detail about this and give a nice code sample that shows you what you should expect from the route change.
