The code to get router data changes as well:
The information from the current route is accessible through the ActivatedRoute object. This is an observable and inside your component you can subscribe for changes. However in this sample I used the snapshot property which captures only the state on the moment we navigated to the component(which is sufficient for this example).
More information about the “new new” router can be found in the documentation: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/router.html
