[javascript] Angular 2 How to redirect to 404 or other path if the path does not exist

I was trying to redirect 404 / other path if the path does not exist in angular 2

I tried research there is some method for angular 1 but not angular 2.

Here is my code :

@RouteConfig([
{
    path: '/news',
    name: 'HackerList',
    component: HackerListComponent,
    useAsDefault: true
},
{
    path: '/news/page/:page',
    name: 'TopStoriesPage',
    component: HackerListComponent
},
{
    path: '/comments/:id',
    name: 'CommentPage',
    component: HackerCommentComponent
}
])

So example if I redirect to /news/page/ then it works and it return me an empty page how do you handle this kind of case happen?

My preferred option on 2.0.0 and up is to create a 404 route and also allow a ** route path to resolve to the same component. This allows you to log and display more information about the invalid route rather than a plain redirect which can act to hide the error.

Simple 404 example:

{ path '/', component: HomeComponent },
// All your other routes should come first    
{ path: '404', component: NotFoundComponent },
{ path: '**', component: NotFoundComponent }

To display the incorrect route information add in import to router within NotFoundComponent:

import { Router } from '@angular/router';

Add it to the constructior of NotFoundComponent:

constructor(public router: Router) { }

Then you're ready to reference it from your HTML template e.g.

The page <span style="font-style: italic">{{router.url}}</span> was not found.

As shaishab roy says, in the cheat sheet you can find the answer.

But in his answer, the given response was :

{path: '/home/...', name: 'Home', component: HomeComponent}
{path: '/', redirectTo: ['Home']},
{path: '/user/...', name: 'User', component: UserComponent},
{path: '/404', name: 'NotFound', component: NotFoundComponent},

{path: '/*path', redirectTo: ['NotFound']}

For some reasons, it doesn't works on my side, so I tried instead :

{path: '/**', redirectTo: ['NotFound']}

and it works. Be careful and don't forget that you need to put it at the end, or else you will often have the 404 error page ;).

As Angular moved on with the release, I faced this same issue. As per version 2.1.0 the Route interface looks like:

export interface Route {
    path?: string;
    pathMatch?: string;
    component?: Type<any>;
    redirectTo?: string;
    outlet?: string;
    canActivate?: any[];
    canActivateChild?: any[];
    canDeactivate?: any[];
    canLoad?: any[];
    data?: Data;
    resolve?: ResolveData;
    children?: Route[];
    loadChildren?: LoadChildren;
} 

So my solutions was the following:

const routes: Routes = [
    { path: '', component: HomeComponent },
    { path: '404', component: NotFoundComponent },
    { path: '**', redirectTo: '404' }
];

make sure ,use this 404 route wrote on the bottom of the code.

syntax will be like

{
    path: 'page-not-found', 
    component: PagenotfoundComponent
},
{
    path: '**', 
    redirectTo: '/page-not-found'
},

Thank you
