In Angular 5 you can easily obtain and modify a copy of the urlTree by parsing the current url. This will include query params and fragments.
let urlTree = this.router.parseUrl(this.router.url);
urlTree.queryParams['newParamKey'] = 'newValue';
this.router.navigateByUrl(urlTree);
The "correct way" to modify a query parameter is probably with the createUrlTree like below which creates a new UrlTree from the current while letting us modify it using NavigationExtras.
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
constructor(private router: Router) { }
appendAQueryParam() {
const urlTree = this.router.createUrlTree([], {
queryParams: { newParamKey: 'newValue' },
queryParamsHandling: "merge",
preserveFragment: true });
this.router.navigateByUrl(urlTree);
}
In order to remove a query parameter this way you can set it to undefined
or null
.
