Class Description
This class should not be used directly by an application developer. Instead, use
Location
.
PlatformLocation
encapsulates all calls to DOM apis, which allows the Router to be platform
agnostic.
This means that we can have different implementation of PlatformLocation
for the different
platforms
that angular supports. For example, the default PlatformLocation
is BrowserPlatformLocation,
however when you run your app in a WebWorker you use WebWorkerPlatformLocation.
The PlatformLocation
class is used directly by all implementations of LocationStrategy
when
they need to interact with the DOM apis like pushState, popState, etc...
LocationStrategy
in turn is used by the Location
service which is used directly
by
the Router
in order to navigate between routes. Since all interactions between Router
/
Location
/ LocationStrategy
and DOM apis flow through the PlatformLocation
class
they are all platform independent.
