How to directly access module's constant in HTML on AngularJS

I want to use several constants directly in html (and few times in controllers).

For example, this is main app module:

angular.module('website', [])
.constant('ROUTES', (function () {
    return {
        SIGN_IN: '/sign/in'
  }
})())
.config([..., 'ROUTES', function(..., ROUTES {
    $routeProvider.when(ROUTES.SIGN_IN, {templateUrl: 'pages/sign_in.html', controller:     'SignInController'});
}]);

So this is clear, how to use constants from controllers.

But how can I do something like this:

<html ng-app="website"> 
<body>
<a href="{{ROUTES.SIGN_IN}}">Sign in</a>
</body>
</html>

The point is to keep all routes in one place. So, can i do this, or may be i choosed wrong way?

IMHO the better way to do this is use the $rootScope In html every scope inherits from the $rootScope, so if a variable isn't present in the current scope angular use the one declared in $rootScope.

A good way is to initialize this in the run "phase"

angular.module('myApp')
  .run(function ($rootScope) {
      $rootScope.ROUTES = ROUTES
   });

Slightly similar to other answers but IMO cleaner:

angular.module('website')
    .constant("ROUTES", {
        SIGN_IN: "/sign/in"
    })
    .run(function ($rootScope, ROUTES) {
        $rootScope.ROUTES = ROUTES;
    });

And:

<a href="{{ROUTES.SIGN_IN}}">Sign in</a>
