Angular2: how to “reload” page with router (recheck canActivate)?

Question

I have routers with canActivate: [ AuthGuard ] and validation inside AuthGuard

How to force check canActivate in same router url ?

Answer 1

My temporary solution:

auth.service.ts

import { Injectable, Injector } from '@angular/core';
import { ActivatedRoute, Router, RouterStateSnapshot } from '@angular/router';

@Injectable()
export class AuthService {

  constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute,
              private router: Router,
              private injector: Injector) {
    this.forceRunAuthGuard();
  }

  // Dirty hack for angular2 routing recheck
  private forceRunAuthGuard() {
    if (this.route.root.children.length) {
      // gets current route
      const curr_route = this.route.root.children[ '0' ];
      // gets first guard class
      const AuthGuard = curr_route.snapshot.routeConfig.canActivate[ '0' ];
      // injects guard
      const authGuard = this.injector.get(AuthGuard);
      // makes custom RouterStateSnapshot object
      const routerStateSnapshot: RouterStateSnapshot = Object.assign({}, curr_route.snapshot, { url: this.router.url });
      // runs canActivate
      authGuard.canActivate(curr_route.snapshot, routerStateSnapshot);
    }
  }

}

app.routes.ts

  { path: 'faq', canActivate: [ AuthGuard ], component: FaqComponent },
  { path: 'about', canActivate: [ AuthGuard ], component: AboutUsComponent },
  { path: 'upgrade', canActivate: [ AuthGuard ], component: UpgradeComponent },

This code runs AuthGuard again.
