AngularJS current route path?

Question

this may sound strange, but I need to check for current route path in my controller. I wasnt able to find the answer.

I have 3 routes: the default "/", "Report" and "Preview".

How can I check the route in the controller?

    constructor(
        private dataService: DataService,
        private $scope: ng.IScope,
        private $location: ng.ILocationService,
        private $route, // what type should it be (for typescript)?
        private $routeParams: IRouteParams,
        private $log: ng.ILogService) {

        var xxx = $route.current; // doesnt work, undefined always
    }

The $location service has two methods you can use $location.path() and $location.url()

The AngularJS documentation should be clear enough:

• $location.path() - Returns the curent path of the current route
• $location.url() - Returns the full url
