Retrieving the active component and path

Question

With Angular2, how would I retrieve the current active component and path?

For example I might have the following routes:

{ path: \'\', component:

Yes you can check current active component using router snapshot-

import { Router,ActivatedRoute }      from '@angular/router';

constructor(public route : ActivatedRoute) {
    var snapshot = route.snapshot;
    console.log(snapshot._routeConfig.component.name); //This will give you the name of current active component
  }

Note- snapshot._routeConfig.component.name it will give you the active component name, and if you want url you can also get it by .url instead of name
