How to go back to last page when having child router?
Please see comments in code for details. Thanks
export class OneProductComponent {
prevUrlPath:string = '';
constructor(private _router: Router) {}
routerOnActivate(next:ComponentInstruction, prev:ComponentInstruction) {
this.prevUrlPath = prev.urlPath;
}
goBack() {
// I have to manually add "products/" here, but if I need
// go back to root home page. Then I shouldn't add "products/" here.
// Is there a smart way to to this?
this._router.navigateByUrl(`products/${this.prevUrlPath}`);
}
}
The angular 2 documentation on routing suggests that you use the window object instead https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/tutorial/toh-pt5.html#!#find-our-way-back
goBack() {
window.history.back();
}
