Router getCurrentNavigation always returns null

January 26, 2023 by Tarik

You’re calling the method getCurrentNavigation too late. The navigation has finished.

You need call the getCurrentNavigation method inside of the constructor:

constructor(private router: Router) {
    this.name = this.router.getCurrentNavigation().extras.state.someData;
}

Or if you want to access the navigation in ngOnInit you can do following:

ngOnInit() {
    this.name = history.state.someData;
}
