Maybe I am missing something?
In an Angular 2 component, I am simply trying to get the full Activated Route.
I do not want to use location.href.
My constructor is as follows:
constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {} And in ngOnInit() I tried finding the value here to no avail:
this.route.data.url You don't need to use ActivatedRoute for that, you need to use Router to query for the current URL in the form of string:
constructor(r: Router) { console.log(r.url); } 
'/' (although when i logged r by itself and inspected the properties the correct url was in there). Hamed's solution works for me.a simpler solution is to use LocationStrategy class from the @angular/common for representing and reading route state directly from the browser's URL which is more convenient then this.router.url when trying to get the router URL in form of a string.
import {LocationStrategy} from '@angular/common'; export class MyComponent implements OnInit { constructor(private url:LocationStrategy) { } ngOnInit() { //this will log the current url console.log(this.url.path()); } } 
RouterStateSnapshot from @angular/router constructor(state: RouterStateSnapshot) and use it like this let url: string = state.url; and by the way this method is used in the official documentation router guide.
this.route.url.
