How do you deal with route-based urls?

Question

Let's say we have a collection of entities, like articles and we need to generate a list of it with the corresponding urls to a particular article.

If we didn't use angularjs then a list item could look like (twig):

<li>
    <a href="{{ path('article', {'id': article.id}) }}">{{ article.name }}</a>
</li>

But, because of I'm using angularjs - I cannot use this solution since I iterate over articles on client side and don't have access to server side url generator.

I've came into 2 conclusions:

1. (the one I use) I generate the url with id: 0 and then in angularjs controller just replace 0 which acts as a placeholder with an actual id value

2. To generate an array of urls serverside and pass it into angularjs

I don't like any of the solutions much though.

Are there better options?
