Angular ActivatedRoute data returns an empty object

Solution 1:

Edit: the problem is that I was trying to access the ActivatedRoute from a Component which is outside the <router-outlet>. So it looks like that this is the intended behaviour.

However I still think that my answer below can be useful to anyone who is trying to accomplish the same thing.

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Router, RoutesRecognized } from '@angular/router';

@Component({...})
export class MyComponent implements OnInit {
  private routeData;

  constructor(private router: Router) { }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.router.events.subscribe((data) => {
      if (data instanceof RoutesRecognized) {
        this.routeData = data.state.root.firstChild.data;
      }
    });
  }
}

doing this way this.routeData will hold the route data that I needed (in my case the page title).

Solution 2:

Get route custom data for component outside <router-outlet> (Angular 8):

constructor(private router: Router) {}
    
ngOnInit() {
    this.router.events.subscribe(data => {
      if (data instanceof ActivationStart) {
        console.log(`Custom data`, data.snapshot.data);
      }
    });
  }

Solution 3:

I Don't know the version spoken, but as of Angular 6, this worked for me:

(Ofcourse thanks to shinDath)

  routeData;
  ngOnInit() {
    //child route param doesnt go up to parent route params.
    this.router.events.subscribe((val) => {
      if (val instanceof ActivationEnd) {
        if(!$.isEmptyObject(val.snapshot.params)){
          this.routeData = val.snapshot.params;
        }
      }
    });
  }

Solution 4:

This is part of my code (NOTE: I'm using Angular 8):

constructor(private _router: Router, private _route: ActivatedRoute) {}

ngOnInit() {
  ...
  this.listenRouting();
}

listenRouting() {
    this._router.events.subscribe((router: any) => {
      routerUrl = router.url;
      if (routerUrl && typeof routerUrl === 'string') {
        routerList = routerUrl.slice(1).split('/');
        console.log("data.breadcrumbs", this._route.snapshot.routeConfig.children.find(child => child.path === routerList[routerList.length - 1]).data.breadcrumbs);
        ...
      }
    });
}

So data is "hiding" under ActivatedRoute.snapshot.routeConfig.children Array. Each child contains, among other things, data. In my case data is configured in routing.module, e.g.:

const routes: Routes = [
  { path: "facility-datas",
    component: FacilityTerminal,
    data: {
      breadcrumbs: "b ft"
    }
  },
...
];
