I want to be able to doe something like:

app.constant('baseURL','http://www.baseurl.com');

and access it from any factory or controller.

Going for constant would be one of the better way as it has ability that we can access it inside the config level or in provider, so that we can take use of them to carry the config level settings.

For usage you could inject the same way as we do inject for service/factory or consider any dependency.

For making it more better you could use Object inside the your app.constant, so that it can carry multiple settings in it.

Constant

app.constant('configSettings', {
   'baseUrl': 'http://www.baseurl.com',
   'someElseSetting': 'settingValue'
   //other setting will also be there.
});

Controller

app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope, configSettings){
   //console.log(configSettings.baseUrl);
   //you could use base URL here
});
