feat(router-link): Accept UrlTree as input

🚀 feat(router-link): Accept UrlTree as input

Relevant Package

This feature request is for @angular/router

Description

Currently [routerLink] directive accepts either an array of commands or a string. Since angular uses UrlTree as a model to store urls, it’d be great to extend this directive so that in addition it accepts a UrlTree.

Describe the solution you’d like

Let [routerLink] input accept commands: any[]|string|UrlTree.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

• A different directive for this purpose. But having already a directive for that it’d be great to just extend the API.
• A pipe that converts a UrlTree into a string. The problem is that the params that a UrlTree might include should be extracted and put in their respective inputs. So that doesn’t play nicely with all the features UrlTree have.

Is there any way to pass this “/route?query=string” to routerLink without a serialization?

[routerLink]=“[‘/route?query=string’]” will return “/route%3Fquery%3Dstring”

Not very convenient
