Let's presume I got this router config
export const EmployeeRoutes = [
{ path: 'sales', component: SalesComponent },
{ path: 'contacts', component: ContactsComponent }
];
and have navigated to the SalesComponent
via this URL
/department/7/employees/45/sales
Now I'd like to go to contacts
, but as I don't have all the parameters for an absolute route (e.g. the department ID, 7
in the above example) I'd prefer to get there using a relative link, e.g.
[routerLink]="['../contacts']"
or
this.router.navigate('../contacts')
which unfortunately doesn't work. There may be an obvious solution but I'm not seeing it. Can anyone help out here please?
If you are using the new router (3.0.0-beta2), you can use the ActivatedRoute to navigate to relative path as follow:
constructor(private router: Router, private r:ActivatedRoute) {}
///
// DOES NOT WORK SEE UPDATE
goToContact() {
this.router.navigate(["../contacts"], { relativeTo: this.r });
}
current route: /department/7/employees/45/sales
the old version will do: /department/7/employees/45/sales/contacts
As per @KCarnaille's comment the above does not work with the latest Router. The new way is to add .parent
to this.r
so
// Working(08/02/2019)
goToContact() {
this.router.navigate(["../contacts"], { relativeTo: this.r.parent });
}
the update will do: /department/7/employees/45/contacts
