Question

What analog deprecated-router method generate in new Router 3.0.0? Early it can take something like this:

How do it on new router?

Answer 1

https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/api/router/index/Router-class.html#!#createUrlTree-anchor

var urlTree = this._router.createUrlTree(['Profile']);

You can pass the result to

this._router.navigate(/*string|UrlTree);

or get the URL

var url = this._router.createUrlTree(['Profile']).toString();

Edit: As of Angular 6, you pass the result to NavigateByUrl:

this._router.navigateByUrl(string|UrlTree);
