[Fixed] How to pass a parameter to routerLink that is somewhere inside the URL?

Issue

I know I can pass a parameter to routerLink for routes such as

/user/:id

by writing

[routerLink]="['/user', user.id]"

but what about routes such as this one:

/user/:id/details

Is there a way to set this parameter or should I consider a different URL scheme?

Solution

In your particular example you’d do the following routerLink:

[routerLink]="['user', user.id, 'details']"

To do so in a controller, you can inject Router and use:

router.navigate(['user', user.id, 'details']);
