How to get reference to the current router from ViewModel

Question

In my viewmodel class, how do I get a reference to the current Router?

What I really want to do is get the current ModuleId.

In Durandal, there was system.getModuleId, but there is no system in Durandal, so I figure the router is going to have that information.

Answer 1

The way to get a reference to the current router:

import {inject} from 'aurelia-framework'
import {router} from 'aurelia-router'

@inject(router)
constructor(router)
{
    this.router = router; //Do something with router.
}

Note: Do not inject "AppRouter" It's a different router. If you add a route to AppRouter, it will not work. It will work if you import Router.

One way (not sure, the optimal one) to access current moduleId is in activate hook of your class:

activate(params, routeConfig) {
    console.log(routeConfig.moduleId);
}
