Angular2 - How do you console.log the current route?

Question

I am struggling to get this to work.

<li [class.active]="router.isRouteActive(router.generate(['/SomeRoute']))">

To bug test this I want to console.log the current route to see what the actual route is, but am not sure how to go about doing this in Angular2?

Answer 1

what you are looking for is the location service

console.log(location.path())

Answer 2

You can use RouteRegistry to find out information about other routes inside other component's code:

recognize(url: string, ancestorInstructions: Instruction[]) : Promise<Instruction>

Given a URL and a parent component, return the most specific instruction for navigating the application into the state specified by the url

Official docs: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/api/router/RouteRegistry-class.html
