[SOLVED] How do I use router-link to point to a route that looks like this '/users/:id/messages'?

How do I use router-link to point to a route that looks like this '/users/:id/messages'?

On all of the examples that I see for the new component router the ID is always at the end of the route like this:

@RouteConfig([
    {path: '/email/:id', component: email, as: 'email'},
])

Which you would need a router-link like this to access it:

<a [router-link] = "['./email', {id:1234}">Emails</a>

My question is, how would I write my router-link if my route had the following format?

@RouteConfig([
    {path: '/user/:id/messages', component: email, as: 'email'},
])

When I manually type '/user/1234/messages' into my address bar I can successfully get to the page. But I can't seem to figure out the router-link format that will do the same thing.

Solution

@brandonroberts answered this question HERE. Basically, the router-link will try to find the route by it's name.

@RouteConfig([
    {path: '/user/:id/messages', component: email, as: 'Email'},
])

So in the example above the name is Email. So the router link-would have to be written like this:

<a [router-link] = "['./Email', {id:1234}">Emails</a>

So router-link will look for a route named "Email" and once it finds it, it will fill in the parameters.

Thanks Brandon for the help!
