Consider the following example:



<a routerLink="/user/bob" routerLinkActive="active-link">Bob</a>


The active-link CSS class will be added to the a tag when the current URL is either "/user" or "/user/bob",



How could I enforce an exact match?

  • I want to apply the css when the active route is a child route.

  • If you apply the active route on the child component the parent component doesn't change.

If you want to full match the url. You can add the routerLinkActiveOptions.



e.g.



<a [routerLink]="/user" routerLinkActive="active-link" [routerLinkActiveOptions]="{exact: true}">Bob</a>


Then only when the url is '/user' will add class. The '/user/bob' will not.
