There’s a tutorial in the Angular Docs, Milestone 5: Route guards. One possible way to achieve this is by using your AuthGuard to check for your login status and store the url on your AuthService.
AuthGuard
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import {
CanActivate, Router,
ActivatedRouteSnapshot,
RouterStateSnapshot
} from '@angular/router';
import { AuthService } from './auth.service';
@Injectable()
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate {
constructor(private authService: AuthService, private router: Router) {}
canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot): boolean {
let url: string = state.url;
return this.checkLogin(url);
}
checkLogin(url: string): boolean {
if (this.authService.isLoggedIn) { return true; }
// Store the attempted URL for redirecting
this.authService.redirectUrl = url;
// Navigate to the login page with extras
this.router.navigate(['/login']);
return false;
}
}
AuthService or your LoginService
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Http, Response } from '@angular/http';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
@Injectable()
export class AuthService {
isLoggedIn: boolean = false;
// store the URL so we can redirect after logging in
public redirectUrl: string;
constructor (
private http: Http,
private router: Router
) {}
login(username, password): Observable<boolean> {
const body = {
username,
password
};
return this.http.post('api/login', JSON.stringify(body)).map((res: Response) => {
// do whatever with your response
this.isLoggedIn = true;
if (this.redirectUrl) {
this.router.navigate([this.redirectUrl]);
this.redirectUrl = null;
}
}
}
logout(): void {
this.isLoggedIn = false;
}
}
I think this will give an idea how things work, of course you probably need to adapt to your code
