How to detect url change in angular 2?

Question

A route change can be detected using the router.events stream. ( How to detect a route change in Angular 2? ).

But I'm not sure how to detect a change in the browser URL.

Answer 1

You can enter Location and subscribe to it

 constructor(location:Location) { location.subscribe(val => console.log(val); } 

As Harry said. It only notifies popState events (router or similar code changing the url)
