How can I programmatically pass parameters to an auxiliary route in angular2+?
The route for the component that displays the details for a specific product would need a route parameter for the ID
of that product. We could implement this using the following Routes:
export const routes: Routes = [
{ path: '', redirectTo: 'product-list', pathMatch: 'full' },
{ path: 'product-list', component: ProductList },
{ path: 'product-details/:id', component: ProductDetails }
];
Note :id
in the path of the product-details
route, which places the parameter in the path. For example, to see the product-details
page for product with ID
5, you must use the following URL: localhost:3000/product-details/5
Linking to Routes with Parameters
In the ProductList
component you could display a list of products. Each product would have a link to the product-details
route, passing the ID
of the product:
<a *ngFor="let product of products"
[routerLink]="['/product-details', product.id]">
{{ product.name }}
</a>
Note that the routerLink
directive passes an array which specifies the path and the route parameter. Alternatively we could navigate to the route programmatically:
goToProductDetails(id) {
this.router.navigate(['/product-details', id]);
}
The ProductDetails
component must read the parameter, then load the product based on the ID
given in the parameter.
The ActivatedRoute service provides a params
Observable which we can subscribe to to get the route parameters (see Observables)
import { Component, OnInit, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core';
import { ActivatedRoute } from '@angular/router';
@Component({
selector: 'product-details',
template: `
<div>
Showing product details for product: {{id}}
</div>
`,
})
export class LoanDetailsPage implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
id: number;
private sub: any;
constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.sub = this.route.params.subscribe(params => {
this.id = +params['id']; // (+) converts string 'id' to a number
// In a real app: dispatch action to load the details here.
});
}
ngOnDestroy() {
this.sub.unsubscribe();
}
}
The reason that the params
property on ActivatedRoute is an Observable is that the router may not recreate the component when navigating to the same component. In this case the parameter may change without the component being recreated.
Plunkr example
Information from here
In the end, I just needed to use an array to pass my params... See param1
and param2
below.
this.router.navigate(['./', { outlets: { 'list-outlet': ['list', param1, param2]} }]);
Note... I had to change the path in my routing configuration:
{
path: 'list/:param1/:param2',
component: ClaimListComponent,
outlet: 'list-outlet'
}
And then in my ngOnInit
function, I can pull the params out of the router as Muirik shows.
