I have a component where I select a set of image objects. I want to pass these selected images to my new route, CreateAlbum. The data it nested and wouldn\'t be suitable to
sender html
<a [routerLink]="['../../../print/attendance/',{data:userDetails | json}]">link</a>
receiver ts
ngOnInit() {
this.route.params.subscribe(params=>
{
this.data=JSON.parse(params['data'])
}
);
}
Unless you want users to manipulate the query string in the addressbar, do a "atob" and "btoa" before sending and after receiving the data. Just a little security
Also, if you don't want to have a subscription, you can use the Route snapshot param as follows (just that it doesn't keep on updating like an observable, so unless the component gets re-init, it won't be getting updated value if any. Hence a good place to get the value is in the ngOnInit event handler
// before
this._router.navigate(["/welcome/" + atob(userName)]);
// after
ngOnInit() {
this.userName = btoa(this.route.snapshot.params['userName']);
}
You can pass data using router, for example
{ path: 'form', component: FormComponent ,data :{data :'Test Data'} },
and your component
import { ActivatedRoute, Router } from '@angular/router';
export class FormComponent {
sub: any;
constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) { }
ngOnInit() {
this.sub = this.route
.data
.subscribe(value => console.log(value));
}
}

But this may not be the preferred way, you can use parent child communication or make a service common and share data between them
. Check below references for doing that.
Parent child communication
Share data using service
See https://angular.io/guide/router for an in-depth example. Scroll down to this code snippet:
gotoHeroes(hero: Hero) {
let heroId = hero ? hero.id : null;
// Pass along the hero id if available
// so that the HeroList component can select that hero.
// Include a junk 'foo' property for fun.
this.router.navigate(['/heroes', { id: heroId, foo: 'foo' }]);
}
To get the value of 'id' in the target component:
ngOnInit() {
this.heroes$ = this.route.paramMap.pipe(
switchMap((params: ParamMap) => {
// (+) before `params.get()` turns the string into a number
this.selectedId = +params.get('id');
return this.service.getHeroes();
})
);
}
this.router.navigate(['path', { flag: "1"}]);
I hope this will work. Try using Query Parameters.
<nav>
<a [routerLink]="['/component1']">No param</a>
<a [routerLink]="['/component2']" [queryParams]="{ page: 99 }">Go to Page 99</a>
</nav>
or
opencomponent2(pageNum) {
this.router.navigate(['/component2'], { queryParams: { page: pageNum } });
}
In child component :
constructor(
private route: ActivatedRoute,
private router: Router) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.sub = this.route
.queryParams
.subscribe(params => {
// Defaults to 0 if no query param provided.
this.page = +params['page'] || 0;
});
}
I have studied this on rangle.io website. Try this if it works for you. otherwise https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/cookbook/component-communication.html#!#bidirectional-service is only option.
