In Angular 6 how make case insensitive url pattern?
You need a UrlSerializer as follow:
import { DefaultUrlSerializer, UrlTree } from '@angular/router';
export class LowerCaseUrlSerializer extends DefaultUrlSerializer {
parse(url: string): UrlTree {
return super.parse(url.toLowerCase());
}
}
And then added it as a provider in the app.module.ts
providers: [
{
provide: UrlSerializer,
useClass: LowerCaseUrlSerializer
}
]
You should add this provide statement to the app.module.ts
import { DefaultUrlSerializer, UrlTree } from '@angular/router';
export class LowerCaseUrlSerializer extends DefaultUrlSerializer {
parse(url: string): UrlTree {
// Optional Step: Do some stuff with the url if needed.
// If you lower it in the optional step
// you don't need to use "toLowerCase"
// when you pass it down to the next function
return super.parse(url.toLowerCase());
}
}
And
@NgModule({
imports: [
...
],
declarations: [AppComponent],
providers: [
{
provide: UrlSerializer,
useClass: LowerCaseUrlSerializer
}
],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
This will work, configure the route to NotFoundComponent with wild character like below
{path:'**',component:NotFoundComponent}
then, in the NotFoundComponent.ts file, add the below lines inside ngOnInit()
if(this.route.snapshot.url[0].path.toLowerCase()!==this.route.snapshot.url[0].path)
this.router.navigate([this.route.snapshot.url[0].path.toLowerCase()]);
You have to import ActivatedRoute,Router from '@angular/router' and inject in constructor like below
constructor(private route:ActivatedRoute,
private router:Router) { }
Here if condition in ngOnInit() makes sure that it won't route or navigate infinitely
Inspired by this thread, the following variant is supposed to lower-case only the UrlSegments in the URL part - and leave the query params alone.
The idea is to let DefaultUrlSerializer parse the URL to an UrlTree - and then go through the UrlTree and lowercase segments.
export class LowerCaseUrlSerializer extends DefaultUrlSerializer {
parse(url: string): UrlTree {
const urlTree = super.parse(url);
this.lowerCaseSegments(urlTree.root);
return urlTree;
}
private lowerCaseSegments(urlSegmentGroup: UrlSegmentGroup) {
if (urlSegmentGroup.hasChildren()) {
Object.entries(urlSegmentGroup.children).forEach(
([key, value]) => this.lowerCaseSegments(value)
);
}
urlSegmentGroup.segments.forEach((segment) => segment.path = segment.path.toLowerCase());
}
}
