You and Angular: A Quest for the Elusive Domain URL (with Laughter)
Ah, Angular. The land of dependency injection, components, and reactive forms. But sometimes, even the bravest Angular developers get lost in the wilderness of the DOM, desperately seeking a simple piece of information: the domain URL. Fear not, fellow adventurer, for this guide will be your compass!

| How To Get Domain Url In Angular |
The Usual Suspects: Browsing for Answers (Literally)
First, let's check the usual suspects. Is it hiding in plain sight in your browser's address bar? No? Well, that's a bit disappointing, but don't fret! We have other tricks up our sleeve (or should we say, component).
Tip: Reading on mobile? Zoom in for better comfort.
Embrace the Obvious (with a Twist): The Window Object to the Rescue
Angular might be a fancy framework, but sometimes, good old vanilla Javascript comes in handy. Enter the window object, a global treasure trove of browser information. We can access it using window.location. This might sound a bit too...obvious, but don't underestimate its power! window.location holds a bunch of goodies, including the hostname property, which is precisely the domain URL you've been searching for!
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
Here's a code snippet to prove it (don't worry, it won't break into your toaster):
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
const domainUrl = window.location.hostname;
console.log("A-ha! The domain URL is:", domainUrl);
See? Magic! (Okay, maybe not magic, but definitely Javascript wizardry).
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.

But Wait, There's More! (Because Angular Doesn't Like Keeping Things Simple)
While the window object is a great solution, some Angular purists might scoff at using a global variable. For them, we present Document injection. Yes, you can inject the Document object into your component and access document.defaultView.location.hostname to achieve the same result. Isn't dependency injection fun? (Insert sarcastic eye roll here).
So You've Found the Domain URL: Now What? (Besides Gloating)
Now that you have the domain URL, the possibilities are endless! Use it for logging, building dynamic URLs, or maybe even creating a hilarious notification that says "Hey, you're still on my website!" The choice is yours, brave adventurer.
Remember, with a little humor and these handy techniques, conquering the domain URL in Angular is a breeze. Now get out there and build something awesome!
