Angular 2 and web apis

Question

I m playing with angular 2 for a while and now I wanted to make some fun stuff using web apis like geolocation (using navigator object) and browser Notifications.

I know how to inject window object inside of my application, but I can't find anything concerning Notification or navigator objects.

Angular2 - How to inject window into an angular2 service

Does anybody knows how can I inject them inside of a component ?

Thanks for your help

You cannot inject them unless you wrap it in some service, and even if you do so you will inject a service and not an API. Other than injecting you can simply use the following:

yourWindowObject.navigator.geolocation

to reach the browser geolocation or any other window property.

Haven't seen `$window` mentioned in Angular2. – Günter Zöchbauer Mar 29 '16 at 07:03
@GünterZöchbauer you are right, edited that. Anyway one can always create a variable called `$window`... – smnbbrv Mar 29 '16 at 07:04
Sure :D, but I'd say in your question it's quite essential what `$window` points to. – Günter Zöchbauer Mar 29 '16 at 07:06
