Angular2 get current route's alias

Question

I\'m able to get current route\'s path like: /about, /, /news with location.path(). But how can I get its alias instead (the \'as\' part in the definition of a route)?

Answer 1

For >= Angular2 RC.x (new router)

There are no aliases anymore in the new router.

You can get the relative route of the local component

  routerOnActivate(curr:RouteSegment, prev?:RouteSegment, currTree?:RouteTree, prevTree?:RouteTree):void {
    console.log(curr.stringifiedUrlSegments);
  }

or the full path using

constructor(private router:Router) {}

  routerOnActivate(curr:RouteSegment, prev?:RouteSegment, currTree?:RouteTree, prevTree?:RouteTree):void {
    console.log(this.router.serializeUrl(tree));
  }

or

constructor(router:Router, private location:Location) {
  router.changes.subscribe(() => {
    console.log(this.location.path());
  });
}
