[routerLinkActive] directive
You can switch to the latest version Angular 10.
Lets you add a CSS class to an element when the link's route becomes active.
This directive lets you add a CSS class to an element when the link's route becomes active.
Consider the following example:
<a routerLink="/user/bob" routerLinkActive="active-link">Bob</a>
When the url is either '/user' or '/user/bob', the active-link class will
be added to the a
tag. If the url changes, the class will be removed.
You can set more than one class, as follows:
<a routerLink="/user/bob" routerLinkActive="class1 class2">Bob</a>
<a routerLink="/user/bob" [routerLinkActive]="['class1', 'class2']">Bob</a>
You can configure RouterLinkActive by passing exact: true
. This will add the classes
only when the url matches the link exactly.
<a routerLink="/user/bob" routerLinkActive="active-link" [routerLinkActiveOptions]="{exact:
true}">Bob</a>
You can assign the RouterLinkActive instance to a template variable and directly check
the isActive
status.
<a routerLink="/user/bob" routerLinkActive #rla="routerLinkActive">
Bob {{ rla.isActive ? '(already open)' : ''}}
</a>
Finally, you can apply the RouterLinkActive directive to an ancestor of a RouterLink.
<div routerLinkActive="active-link" [routerLinkActiveOptions]="{exact: true}">
<a routerLink="/user/jim">Jim</a>
<a routerLink="/user/bob">Bob</a>
</div>
This will set the active-link class on the div tag if the url is either '/user/jim' or '/user/bob'.
