How can I determine the URL of my application?

Question

I am using Angularjs and ui-router. In my application I have an email feedback form and the email text will contain the URL of the application. But when I run the application this could be:

localhost:1828 or the www.domain.name

Is there a way in my application that I could get the URL and the port so I could add this into the email?

Yes you can. However, this is more a back end than a front end feature - you don't want somebody to fake the URL if you do it from the client side. Thus - which backend are you using? Update the tag with that backend — callmekatootie, Aug 03 '15 at 14:14

You can inject $location service to your controller/service. And use like this:

$location.port();
$location.host();

copied from: Get protocol, domain, and port from URL

var full = location.protocol+'//'+location.hostname+(location.port ? ':'+location.port: '');

Since you are using ui-router, you can use the $stateParams and $stateProvider to get the current url. See this for more information.

You can also use the URL Parameters feature to get the current url
