Passing data through Angular2 router
I hope this will work. Try using Query Parameters.
<nav> <a [routerLink]="['/component1']">No param</a> <a [routerLink]="['/component2']" [queryParams]="{ page: 99 }">Go to Page 99</a> </nav>
or
opencomponent2(pageNum) { this.router.navigate(['/component2'], { queryParams: { page: pageNum } }); }
In child component :
constructor( private route: ActivatedRoute, private router: Router) {} ngOnInit() { this.sub = this.route .queryParams .subscribe(params => { // Defaults to 0 if no query param provided. this.page = +params['page'] || 0; }); }
I have studied this on rangle.io website. Try this if it works for you. otherwise https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/cookbook/component-communication.html#!#bidirectional-service is only option.
See https://angular.io/guide/router for an in-depth example. Scroll down to this code snippet:
gotoHeroes(hero: Hero) { let heroId = hero ? hero.id : null; // Pass along the hero id if available // so that the HeroList component can select that hero. // Include a junk 'foo' property for fun. this.router.navigate(['/heroes', { id: heroId, foo: 'foo' }]);}
To get the value of 'id' in the target component:
ngOnInit() { this.heroes$ = this.route.paramMap.pipe( switchMap((params: ParamMap) => { // (+) before `params.get()` turns the string into a number this.selectedId = +params.get('id'); return this.service.getHeroes(); }) );}
Unless you want users to manipulate the query string in the addressbar, do a "atob" and "btoa" before sending and after receiving the data. Just a little security
Also, if you don't want to have a subscription, you can use the Route snapshot param as follows (just that it doesn't keep on updating like an observable, so unless the component gets re-init, it won't be getting updated value if any. Hence a good place to get the value is in the ngOnInit event handler
// beforethis._router.navigate(["/welcome/" + atob(userName)]);// afterngOnInit() { this.userName = btoa(this.route.snapshot.params['userName']);}
