Angular Router ActivatedRoute

Question

I want to check the address bar if it contains "admin" or not

Address: http://localhost:4200/admin

constructor(
private route: ActivatedRoute
 ){
  this.route.paramMap.subscribe((paramMap: ParamMap) =>{
  console.log(paramMap.has('/admin'));
  }
)

but it gives me false. I expected true

If you want to do this in constructor, use Location service instead of router:

import { Location } from '@angular/common';

constructor(private location: Location){
  if (this.location.path().startsWith('/admin')) {
    console.log('true');
  }
}

Router.url is initialised with / (and populated with real url later), while Location.path() will return the real url right away.
