Executing code after router.navigate in Angular2

Question

I wonder if there is a way to execute something after i navigate to a different "view" using angular router.

this.router.navigate(["/search", "1", ""]);
// Everything after navigate does not not get executed.
this.sideFiltersService.discoverFilter(category);

Answer 1

this.router.navigate returns a promise so you can simply use:

this.router.navigate(["/search", "1", ""]).then(()=>{
  // do whatever you need after navigation succeeds
});
