Answer 3

In Angular 8 you should do like this.router.events.subscribe((event: Event) => {})

Example:

import { Component } from '@angular/core'; 
import { Router, Event } from '@angular/router';
import { NavigationStart, NavigationError, NavigationEnd } from '@angular/router';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<router-outlet></router-outlet>`
})
export class AppComponent {

    constructor(private router: Router) {
        //Router subscriber
        this.router.events.subscribe((event: Event) => {
            if (event instanceof NavigationStart) {
                //do something on start activity
            }

            if (event instanceof NavigationError) {
                // Handle error
                console.error(event.error);
            }

            if (event instanceof NavigationEnd) {
                //do something on end activity
            }
        });
   }
}

In angular 6 and RxJS6:

import { filter, debounceTime } from 'rxjs/operators';

 this.router.events.pipe(
      filter((event) => event instanceof NavigationEnd),
      debounceTime(40000)
    ).subscribe(
      x => {
      console.log('val',x);
      this.router.navigate(['/']); /*Redirect to Home*/
}
)

Capture route change events in the following manner...

import { Component, OnInit, Output, ViewChild } from "@angular/core";
import { Router, NavigationStart, NavigationEnd, Event as NavigationEvent } from '@angular/router';

@Component({
    selector: "my-app",
    templateUrl: "app/app.component.html",
    styleUrls: ["app/app.component.css"]
})
export class AppComponent {

    constructor(private cacheComponentObj: CacheComponent,
        private router: Router) {

        /*  Route event types
            NavigationEnd
            NavigationCancel
            NavigationError
            RoutesRecognized
        */
        router.events.forEach((event: NavigationEvent) => {

            //Before Navigation
            if (event instanceof NavigationStart) {
                switch (event.url) {
                case "/app/home":
                {
                    //Do Work
                    break;
                }
                case "/app/About":
                {
                    //Do Work
                    break;
                }
                }
            }

            //After Navigation
            if (event instanceof NavigationEnd) {
                switch (event.url) {
                case "/app/home":
                {
                    //Do Work
                    break;
                }
                case "/app/About":
                {
                    //Do Work
                    break;
                }
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

Answer 6

I would write something like this:

ngOnInit() {
this.routed = this.router.events.map( event => event instanceof NavigationStart )
  .subscribe(() => {
  } );
}

ngOnDestroy() {
this.routed.unsubscribe();
}
