Navigate relative with Angular 2 Router (Version 3)

After doing some more research I came across with

this.router.createUrlTree(['../step2'], {relativeTo: this.activatedRoute});

and

this.router.navigate(['../step2'], {relativeTo: this.activatedRoute});

First approach (Router.createUrlTree API) did not work for me, i.e. nothing happened. Second approach (Router.navigate API) works.

However, second approach uses NavigationExtras (second argument) which is documented with @experimental. Hopefully there won't be big changes with the next release again... and NavigationExtras will be stable.

Any other suggestions/approaches, please do not hesitate to answer to my question above.

It seems that there were changes in Angular 7.1. There is an answer in another post how to solve it with Angular 7.1. Please refer to https://stackoverflow.com/a/38634440/42659.

First, inject router & ActivatedRoute on constructor

constructor(private route:ActivatedRoute,private router:Router) { }

then use to Click Event:

onEditClick(){        this.router.navigate(['edit'],{relativeTo:this.route});

You navigate to the expected page.In my scenario, I wanted to go recipe /1 to edit the recipe.http://localhost:4200/recipes/1/edit

Note: the routes are case sensitive so make sure you match the casing across

This worked for me for Angular 8:
From the parent component / page, to navigate to the sub page using typescript:

this.router.navigate(['subPage'], { relativeTo: this.route });

My router in the parent's module looks like this:

const routes: Routes = [  {    path: '',    component: MyPage,    children: [      { path: 'subPage', component: subPageComponent}    ]  }];

And on the parent's html page use the following to navigate using a link:

<a [routerLink]="'subPage'">Sub Page Link</a><router-outlet></router-outlet>
