As of Angular 6+, this is handled slightly differently than in previous versions. As @BeetleJuice mentions in the answer above, paramMap is new interface for getting route params, but the execution is a bit different in more recent versions of Angular. Assuming this is in a component:
private _entityId: number;
constructor(private _route: ActivatedRoute) {
// ...
}
ngOnInit() {
// For a static snapshot of the route...
this._entityId = this._route.snapshot.paramMap.get('id');
// For subscribing to the observable paramMap...
this._route.paramMap.pipe(
switchMap((params: ParamMap) => this._entityId = params.get('id'))
);
// Or as an alternative, with slightly different execution...
this._route.paramMap.subscribe((params: ParamMap) => {
this._entityId = params.get('id');
});
}
I prefer to use both because then on direct page load I can get the ID param, and also if navigating between related entities the subscription will update properly.
