How can i get current URL in emberjs from afterModel? I tried using `window.location.href` but it returns url of the previous route. Also i’m using `location: 'history'`. Any ideas what could be the problem?

To get the current url from a route instance, you can call `this.get('router.url')`. The reason you are getting the previous route’s URL is because of Ember’s run loop. Getting the url in afterModel resolves before the transition completes, giving you the route you were in before. To solve this you can wrap the call in an `Ember.run.next`:

```auto
afterModel: function (model){
    _this = this;

    Ember.run.next(function(){
        console.log _this.get('router.url')
    });
}
		

```

How about `transition.targetName`

```javascript
afterModel: function(model, transition) {
  console.log(Ember.get(transition, 'targetName'));
}

```

@manoit88 That is better. Using transition promise, i can easily get url after the transition is complete. Thanks 🙂

```auto
transition.then ->
  url = window.location.href

```

I’ve spent some time in that module in the past fixing a bug.
