Send data through routing paths in Angular

Question

Is there anyway to send data as parameter with router.navigate? I mean, something like this example, as you can see the route has a data parameter, but doing this it's not working:

this.router.navigate(["heroes"], {some-data: "othrData"})

because some-data is not a valid parameter. How can I do that? I don't want to send the parameter with queryParams.

Answer 1

There is a lot of confusion on this topic because there are so many different ways to do it.

Here are the appropriate types used in the following screen shots:

private route: ActivatedRoute
private router: Router

1) Required Routing Parameters:

2) Route Optional Parameters:

3) Route Query Parameters:

4) You can use a service to pass data from one component to another without using route parameters at all.

For an example see: https://blogs.msmvps.com/deborahk/build-a-simple-angular-service-to-share-data/

I have a plunker of this here: https://plnkr.co/edit/KT4JLmpcwGBM2xdZQeI9?p=preview

Best I found on internet for this is ngx-navigation-with-data. It is very simple and good for navigation the data from one component to another component. You have to just import the component class and use it in very simple way. Suppose you have home and about component and want to send data then

HOME COMPONENT

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxNavigationWithDataComponent } from 'ngx-navigation-with-data';

@Component({
 selector: 'app-home',
 templateUrl: './home.component.html',
 styleUrls: ['./home.component.css']
})
export class HomeComponent implements OnInit {

constructor(public navCtrl: NgxNavigationWithDataComponent) { }

 ngOnInit() {
 }

 navigateToABout() {
  this.navCtrl.navigate('about', {name:"virendta"});
 }

}

ABOUT COMPONENT

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxNavigationWithDataComponent } from 'ngx-navigation-with-data';

@Component({
 selector: 'app-about',
 templateUrl: './about.component.html',
 styleUrls: ['./about.component.css']
})
export class AboutComponent implements OnInit {

 constructor(public navCtrl: NgxNavigationWithDataComponent) {
  console.log(this.navCtrl.get('name')); // it will console Virendra
  console.log(this.navCtrl.data); // it will console whole data object here
 }

 ngOnInit() {
 }

}
