Answer 1

You cannot map two path with the same exact segments as parameter. However, you can manually dispatch to the correct component. You can for exemple use this code.

Routes

export const EmployeeManagementRoutes: RouterConfig = [
{
path: 'employee-management',
component: EmployeeManagementComponent,
children: [
  { 
    path: '',  
    component: EmployeeManagementTableComponent,
    pathMatch: 'full'
  },
  { 
    path: ':type/:param',  
    component: EmployeeManagementTableComponent 
  }
]
}
];

Parameter dispatch

this.route.params.subscribe(
        params => {  
            this.logger.log("Param "+params);
                let type = params['type'];
                this.logger.log("Type "+type);
                let p = params['params'];
                if(type === "employee"){
                    if(p.match(/\d+/)){
                        let id = +p;
                        this.logger.log("ID "+id);
                        this.editEmployee(id);
                    } else {
                        let option = p;
                        this.logger.log("Option "+option);
                        this.doEmployeeOption(option);  
                    }
                }else if(type === "department"){
                    if(p){
                        let option = p;
                        this.logger.log("Option "+option);
                        this.doDepartmentOption(option);
                    }
                }
        },
        //Error
        err => this.logger.error(err),
        //Complete
        () => {}
    );
