How to get Url referrer in Angularjs

There's a button in a page that will redirect to my website, how should I get the page url that redirects to my website in angularjs since we don't have access to the page redirecting 

$rootScope.$on('$locationChangeStart', function(evt:any, absNewUrl:any, absOldUrl:any):void {
     console.log('prev path: ' + absOldUrl);
  });

using this is giving us the current page.

ex: (testingPage.html should redirect to myPage.html how to get testingPage.html url)

The page should hit your website with a query string.

example.com should redirect you to yoursite.com/?ref=example.com, then you would be able to extract the query variable from $location.search(); in the form of {'ref': 'example.com'}.

You can read more about $location here: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$location

Have you tried the window.location object? Like location.href. You also have the $location object in Angular. doc

And then pass it as a parameter in the redirect url like myPage.html?referrer=...
