Angular: Displaying target URL when resolve fails

Question

I have a simple resolver for a route like /orders/first:

resolve(): Promise<Order> {
    return this.orderService.get()
        .then((response) => response.order)
        .catch(error => Promise.reject(error));
}

I also have an error handler that redirects to an error page:

this.router.navigate(['/error'], { skipLocationChange: true });

I want the URL to be /orders/first so if the user refresh he might be able to view the page. This also make back button return to an incorrect page (previous previous page)

The problem is that the resolver runs before route activation so the URL doesn't change.

Is there a way to do this?

EDIT: Found this workaround:

1. Listen to router event NavigationStart and save route to a variable
2. Set location URL before redirecting to error page: this.location.go(nextRoute.url);
3. Redirect with skipLocationChange set to true

Answer 1

I have achieved this this way:

resolve(
  route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot,
  state: RouterStateSnapshot
): Observable<any>|Promise<any>|any {
  return this.clientService.get(route.params.id)
  .catch( err => {
    const path = this.location.path();
    this.router.navigate(["/" + err.status], {  skipLocationChange: true })
    .then( () => {
      this.location.replaceState(path);
    });

    return Observable.empty();
  })
}

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Router, NavigationError, NavigationExtras } from '@angular/router';
import { Location } from '@angular/common';

@Injectable()
export class RouterService {

    private errorRoot: string;

    constructor(
        private router: Router,
        private location: Location
    ) { }

    setRouteErrorHandler(errorRoot: string = '/error'): void {
        let errorRoute = null;
        this.errorRoot = errorRoot;
        this.router.errorHandler = (error): void => {
            this.router.navigateByUrl(errorRoot, { skipLocationChange: true })
                .then(() => this.location.go(errorRoute.url));
        };

        this.router.events
            .filter(next => next instanceof NavigationError)
            .subscribe((next) => errorRoute = next);
    }
}

And call routerService.setRouteErrorHandler() from AppModule constructor or APP_INITIALIZER
