How to go back last page


Actually you can take advantage of the built-in Location service, which owns a "Back" API.

Here (in TypeScript):

import {Component} from '@angular/core';import {Location} from '@angular/common';@Component({  // component's declarations here})class SomeComponent {  constructor(private _location: Location)   {}  backClicked() {    this._location.back();  }}

Edit: As mentioned by @charith.arumapperuma Location should be imported from @angular/common so the import {Location} from '@angular/common'; line is important.


In the final version of Angular 2.x / 4.x - here's the docs https://angular.io/api/common/Location

/* typescript */import { Location } from '@angular/common';// import stuff here@Component({// declare component here})export class MyComponent {  // inject location into component constructor  constructor(private location: Location) { }  cancel() {    this.location.back(); // <-- go back to previous location on cancel  }}


<button backButton>BACK</button>

You can put this into a directive, that can be attached to any clickable element:

import { Directive, HostListener } from '@angular/core';import { Location } from '@angular/common';@Directive({    selector: '[backButton]'})export class BackButtonDirective {    constructor(private location: Location) { }    @HostListener('click')    onClick() {        this.location.back();    }}

Usage:

<button backButton>BACK</button>
