Routing in Angular 2

You may already know how to create routes using the CouterConfig class, I suppose. So maybe you also have a route like this one:

{ path: 'theme/:themeId', component: ThemeComponent },

The question for me was then: How to get the :themeId inside the ThemeComponent.

The solution is to inject the ActivatedRoute into the component containing all information you need ;-)

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

export class ThemeComponent implements OnInit {
  private themeId: string;

  constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {
  }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.route.params.subscribe((parameter: any) => {
      this.themeId = parameter.themeId;
    });
  }

}

(I was a little bit lazy not implementing a class for the subscribe function.)

Missing something, need more info/help?
