「とおり」と「ように」の違いは何ですか

<div class='writeup-body'>Often, the <span class='info-highlight' data-term='名詞・めいし'>noun</span> <span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='289'>とおり</span> carries the meaning of 'in that way', or 'just like that'. In its kanji form, <span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='289'>とおり</span> will be written as 通（とお）り, and literally means 'street', or 'way'. However, it is regularly used to indicate the level of 'sameness' one thing has with another. This 'sameness' meaning appears when <span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='289'>とおり</span> is used as a <span class='info-highlight' data-term='接尾語・せつびご'>suffix</span>.<br><span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='289'>とおり</span> (or どおり) may be used with verbs or nouns.
