I have an angular 2 app, and I use router to navigate between views, like everyone else. Here is how my path for a particular component look like:
{
path: 'home/view1/:viewID',
component: ViewComponent,
children: [
{ path: 'pane/:paneId/section/:sectionId', component: SectionEditComponent },
{ path: '**', component: ViewEditComponent }
]
},
Now, I have two buttons on the ViewComponent, to load SectionEditComponent for section1 and section2.
Path1: pane/1/section/1
Path2: pane/1/section/2
ViewComponent template:
<div class="col-md-8" style="background-color: white; height: 100%">
<button (click)="loadPath(1)">Path1</button>
<button (click)="loadPath(2)">Path2</button>
<router-outlet></router-outlet>
</div>
Now, when I navigate from Path1->Path2 or Path2->Path1 within same ViewComponent, the ngOnInit() is not called, thus not loading the new path, even though the url actually change according to the new section ID.
Is this known or expected behavior? Is there anything that I'm doing wrong?
