Angular ActivatedRoute data returns an empty object

Edit: the problem is that I was trying to access the ActivatedRoute from a Component which is outside the <router-outlet>. So it looks like that this is the intended behaviour.

However I still think that my answer below can be useful to anyone who is trying to accomplish the same thing.

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';import { Router, RoutesRecognized } from '@angular/router';@Component({...})export class MyComponent implements OnInit {  private routeData;  constructor(private router: Router) { }  ngOnInit() {    this.router.events.subscribe((data) => {      if (data instanceof RoutesRecognized) {        this.routeData = data.state.root.firstChild.data;      }    });  }}

doing this way this.routeData will hold the route data that I needed (in my case the page title).

I Don't know the version spoken, but as of Angular 6,this worked for me:

(Ofcourse thanks to shinDath)

  routeData;  ngOnInit() {    //child route param doesnt go up to parent route params.    this.router.events.subscribe((val) => {      if (val instanceof ActivationEnd) {        if(!$.isEmptyObject(val.snapshot.params)){          this.routeData = val.snapshot.params;        }      }    });  }

Get route custom data for component outside <router-outlet> (Angular 8):

constructor(private router: Router) {}    ngOnInit() {    this.router.events.subscribe(data => {      if (data instanceof ActivationStart) {        console.log(`Custom data`, data.snapshot.data);      }    });  }
