How to pass in variables to components within a route definition












0















I'm setting up a ULR route that behind the scenes will use an existing component and pass in a parameter without it showing up in the browsers URL block. Routes define a path in the URL to a component. How do I pass a parameter within its definition?



This is for an Angular 7 website.



We have a docview component that shows formatted docs in a browser based on data passed in as a parameter sDocName. You could see our policy (doc #3) using the following URL route...



http://oursitename.com/docview;sDocName=3


We want to add a route path to that same component, but within that route def, we would like to pass in the parameter for the doc # so it doesn't show in the URL block in the browser... mostly to make it easier for people to type the URL in manually. I'm expecting something like this to work...



const appRoutes: Routes = [
{ path: 'docview', component: DocviewComponent },
{ path: 'policy', component: DocviewComponent, data:['sDocName=3'] }
]


This does not work, but something like it should…any thoughts?



We expect that the URL will ultimately look like this...



http://oursitename/policy
