Is there a way to build a dynamic navigation/menu based on registered routes in Angular 2?

Question

I'm currently struggling to find a way to build a dynamic navigation based on routes registered in the application.

As far as I see there is no simple way to get a list of all routes using Router or RouteRegistry classes.

But, there is a private _rules property inside of RouteRegistry class, but unfortunately with no getter for it.

Is there any specific reason why I can't access this parameter outside the RouteRegistry?

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You can store the routes in an array outside of the component so you can pass it to @RouteConfig(...) and also load into your component and analyze it to generate the menu.

The router is currently reworked therefore things that currently aren't that easy might become better soon.
