How to get current route

The new V3 router has a url property.

this.router.url === '/login'

Angular RC4:

You can import Router from @angular/router

Then inject it:

constructor(private router: Router ) {

}

Then call it's URL parameter:

console.log(this.router.url); //  /routename

Inject Location to your component and read location.path(); You need to add ROUTER_DIRECTIVES somewhere so Angular can resolve Location. You need to add import: [RouterModule] to the module.

Update

In the V3 (RC.3) router you can inject ActivatedRoute and access more details using its snapshot property.

constructor(private route:ActivatedRoute) {
  console.log(route);
}

or

constructor(private router:Router) {
  router.events.subscribe(...);
}

See also Angular 2 router event listener

Use this

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

constructor(private router: Router) {
    router.events.filter(event => event instanceof NavigationEnd)
        .subscribe(event => {
            console.log(event);
        });
}

And in main.ts import

import 'rxjs/add/operator/filter';

EDIT

Modern way

import {filter} from 'rxjs/operators';

router.events.pipe(
    filter(event => event instanceof NavigationEnd)
)
    .subscribe(event => {
        console.log(event);
    });
