linkPathLocationStrategy

linkDescription

PathLocationStrategy is a LocationStrategy used to configure the Location service to represent its state in the path of the browser's URL.

If you're using PathLocationStrategy, you must provide a APP_BASE_HREF or add a base element to the document. This URL prefix that will be preserved when generating and recognizing URLs.

For instance, if you provide an APP_BASE_HREF of '/my/app' and call location.go('/foo'), the browser's URL will become example.com/my/app/foo.

Similarly, if you add <base href='/my/app'/> to the document and call location.go('/foo'), the browser's URL will become example.com/my/app/foo.
