Angular2 get current route's alias

Question

I\'m able to get current route\'s path like: /about, /, /news with location.path(). But how can I get its alias instead (the \'as\' part in the definition of a route)?

Answer 1

You should not use location, instead you should use Router instance.

In your component, inject it in constructor with:

constructor(public router: Router)

than, you could obtain name of component with:

this.router.currentInstruction.component.routeName

I am not sure how you obtain as from router config. But RouterLink directive should be right spot to start with: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/api/router/RouterLink-directive.html
