Specifies a root URI to use for relative navigation.

For example, consider the following route configuration where the parent route has two children.

[{
  path: 'parent',
  component: ParentComponent,
  children: [{
    path: 'list',
    component: ListComponent
  },{
    path: 'child',
    component: ChildComponent
  }]
}]

The following go() function navigates to the list route by interpreting the destination URI as relative to the activated child route

@Component({...})
 class ChildComponent {
   constructor(private router: Router, private route: ActivatedRoute) {}

   go() {
     this.router.navigate(['../list'], { relativeTo: this.route });
   }
 }

Sets query parameters to the URL.

// Navigate to /results?page=1
this.router.navigate(['/results'], { queryParams: { page: 1 } });

Sets the hash fragment for the URL.

// Navigate to /results#top
this.router.navigate(['/results'], { fragment: 'top' });

DEPRECATED: Use queryParamsHandling: "preserve" instead to preserve query parameters for the next navigation.

How to handle query parameters in the router link for the next navigation. One of:

• merge : Merge new with current parameters.
• preserve : Preserve current parameters.

// from /results?page=1 to /view?page=1&page=2
this.router.navigate(['/view'], { queryParams: { page: 2 },  queryParamsHandling: "merge" });

When true, preserves the URL fragment for the next navigation

// Preserve fragment from /results#top to /view#top
this.router.navigate(['/view'], { preserveFragment: true });

When true, navigates without pushing a new state into history.

// Navigate silently to /view
this.router.navigate(['/view'], { skipLocationChange: true });

When true, navigates while replacing the current state in history.

// Navigate to /view
this.router.navigate(['/view'], { replaceUrl: true });

Developer-defined state that can be passed to any navigation. Access this value through the Navigation.extras object returned from router.getCurrentNavigation() while a navigation is executing.

After a navigation completes, the router writes an object containing this value together with a navigationId to history.state. The value is written when location.go() or location.replaceState() is called before activating this route.

Note that history.state does not pass an object equality test because the router adds the navigationId on each navigation.
