Retrieving the active component and path

Question

With Angular2, how would I retrieve the current active component and path?

For example I might have the following routes:

{ path: \'\', component:

Yah, the angular 2 starter guide covers all that, basically you need to inject ActivatedRoute on your component then you can retrieve the information you want by subscribing to the route params.

I would really recommend you to do the angular tutorial tour of heroes, it is actually pretty good learning material that they provided.

Inject ActivatedRoute, on your component constructor:

constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {
}

ngOnInit() {
    this.route.params.subscribe(params => {
      console.log(params['id']);
    });
  }
