Current behavior

When you configure home page to have path = '', and use NgxFeatureToggleRouteGuard with redirectTo = '', redirect does not happen.

Expected behavior

Redirect to route where path = ''.

Reproduction of the problem

Use this snippet in your app routing module:

const ROUTE_DATA = {
  redirectTo: '', // home page
  featureToggle: [
    'FlagName'
  ]
};

const ROUTES: Routes = [
  { 
    path: '',
    component: HomePageComponent,
    pathMatch: "full"
  },
  { 
    path: 'Guard',
    component: GuardedComponent,
    canActivate: [NgxFeatureToggleRouteGuard],
    data: ROUTE_DATA
  }
];

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Many apps set their home page with path = ''. This limitation prevents that design.
