How to use ActivatedRoute in Angular 5?

Question

I am trying to do exactly the same thing as in this post: Angular 4 get queryString

I am using Angular 5.2.5.

ActivatedRoute seems to be the thing to use to

Answer 1

I made the two changes Arun suggested. Then, to fix the "No provider for ActivatedRoute" error, I made the changes shown below.

1) I added this line to the app.module.ts:

import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router';

2) I added this line to the imports array of the @NgModule in app.module.ts:

RouterModule.forRoot([])

This article gave me the fix: Angular error: no provider for ActivatedRoute

Now it compiles. Hooray!
