How to find out which route the user is in?

Question

JavaScript

I use ui-router, when switching between routes, I need to catch where the user is now.
Found function

$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess',
                function (event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams){
                    // console.log(fromState.url);
                    // console.log(toState.url);
                }
            );

Displays the current position of the user and everything seems to be ok, but you need to make the whole thing callable,
I tried to wrap the whole thing in a function, but crap, I can’t get data from the internal $rootScope function.
Also, declaring a variable global and redefining it does not work, it is not redefined.
What are the possible solutions, is it really so difficult to get the user's current route?
There are analogues for location.path, etc. ?

Answer 1

$rootScope.$on('$locationChangeStart', function() {
                leftButtonTranslate();

            });

Answer 2

get yourself a simple json and write there all the information that you need, when it happens
and in general it’s far from the fact that you set the task correctly, which is probably why you don’t see a solution
