id number

navigationTrigger "imperative" | "popstate" | "hashchange"

Properties

Property Description
navigationTrigger?: 'imperative' | 'popstate' | 'hashchange'

Identifies the trigger of the navigation.

  • 'imperative'--triggered by router.navigateByUrl or router.navigate.
  • 'popstate'--triggered by a popstate event
  • 'hashchange'--triggered by a hashchange event
restoredState?: { [k: string]: any; navigationId: number; } | null

This reflects the state object that was previously supplied to the pushState call. This is not null only when the navigation is triggered by a popstate event.

The router assigns a navigationId to every router transition/navigation. Even when the user clicks on the back button in the browser, a new navigation id will be created. So from the perspective of the router, the router never "goes back". By using the restoredState and its navigationId, you can implement behavior that differentiates between creating new states and popstate events. In the latter case you can restore some remembered state (e.g., scroll position).

See NavigationExtras for more information.
