Window Location injection

For testing purposes you might want to inject window.location object in your component.
You can achieve this with custom InjectionToken mechanism provided by Angular.

export const LOCATION_TOKEN = new InjectionToken<Location>('Window location object');

@NgModule({
  providers: [
    { provide: LOCATION_TOKEN, useValue: window.location }
  ]
})
export class SharedModule {}

//...

@Component({
})
export class AppComponent {
  constructor(
    @Inject(LOCATION_TOKEN) public location: Location
  ) {}
}
