Passing data to Router Angular 2 [duplicate]

Answer 1

As others have said, use a service.

I have a simple example here:

https://blogs.msmvps.com/deborahk/build-a-simple-angular-service-to-share-data/

import { Injectable } from ‘@angular/core’;
@Injectable() 
export class DataService { 
  serviceData: string; 
}

Or now in Angular v6 and higher:

import { Injectable } from ‘@angular/core’;
@Injectable({
   providedIn: 'root'
}) 
export class DataService { 
  serviceData: string; 
}
