How to know the current route in Angular 2

[Ping Chen]

I have defined some routes in AppComponent. It works fine, I can change route by clicking router-links.

But in AppComponent, I want to find out the current route I'm in, don't know how.

Thanks.

Just subscribe to the router

constructor(router: Router) {
 
     router.subscribe((url) => console.log(url));

}

That URL will hold the path of the route you are in. If you want the Instruction, complement it with "recognize" :

constructor(router: Router) {
 
     router.subscribe((url) => {
          
          // Current URL

          router.recognize(url).then((instruction) => {
              
             console.log(instruction); // Current instruction

          });

     });

}

This doesn't seem to be working with angular 2.0.0-beta.0
