Angular 2 routerLinkActive always active for base path

Question

I have this code for my navbar:

<nav>
  <a [routerLink]="['/']" [routerLinkActive]="['nav-active']">HOME</a>
  <a [routerLink]="['/about']" [routerLinkActive]="['nav-active']">ABOUT</a>
  <a [routerLink]="['/records']" [routerLinkActive]="['nav-active']">RECORDS</a>
</nav>

The problem is the HOME nav point always gets the class because / seems to be always active. Is this avoidable with a small and simple solution?

Thanks for the help

Edit:

this is the solution for now:

[routerLinkActiveOptions]="{ exact: true }"

As suggested by @TomRaine in this answer, you can add the property [routerLinkActiveOptions]="{ exact: true }" to your element:

<nav>
  <a [routerLink]="['/']" 
      [routerLinkActive]="['nav-active']"
      [routerLinkActiveOptions]="{ exact: true }">
    HOME
  </a>
  ...
</nav>
