Deep-Linking within a Single Component

This is a use-case study in Angular about deep-linking within a component.

We have a route with dynamic properties. The assigned component needs to modify the route's dynamic property on certain user actions. No reactivation of the component should happen, e.g. ngOnInit is only run once.

For example, there is an accordion which updates the dynamic property whenever the user expands or collapses an item.

Furthermore, the component should also support deep linking. So if the id is already set, it would automatically expand the item in ngOnInit.

This repository shows how to do that via two different approaches:

1. Programmatically: The user action is not triggered via clicking on a link. In this case, we need to update the URL programmatically.
2. routerLink: The user triggers the action via clicking on a link that contains the updated route.

To see how it works, just start the Angular application. The sidemenu contains the links to both approaches.
