Angular access component route

Question

I want to access a component's routing URL that is not the current url and store it in a service. So basically if my component is parentComponent and has childComponent then the URL of the child component is

/parentComponent/childComponent

If I navigate to the above URL and call this.router.url in parentComponent's ngOnInit then it correctly returns /parentComponent/childComponent. How do I get just /parentComponent, i.e. the route to the component itself, from the router within the parent component?

Thank you but I'm looking for a more universal approach that also works with nested children – tomcek112 Oct 23 '18 at 12:27
