How do I pass data to Angular routed components?

Question

In one of my Angular 2 routes\'s templates (FirstComponent) I have a button

first.component.html

Answer 1

Some super smart person (tmburnell) that is not me suggests re-writing the route data:

let route = this.router.config.find(r => r.path === '/path');
route.data = { entity: 'entity' };
this.router.navigateByUrl('/path');

As seen here in the comments.

I hope someone will find this useful
