一种程序化的方式是在组件本身中完成。我在这个问题上挣扎了三周，但最终放弃了angular文档，转而阅读了让routerlinkactive工作的实际代码，这是我能找到的最好的文档了。

    import {
  Component,AfterContentInit,OnDestroy, ViewChild,OnInit, ViewChildren, AfterViewInit, ElementRef, Renderer2, QueryList,NgZone,ApplicationRef
}
  from '@angular/core';
  import { Location } from '@angular/common';

import { Subscription } from 'rxjs';
import {
  ActivatedRoute,ResolveStart,Event, Router,RouterEvent, NavigationEnd, UrlSegment
} from '@angular/router';
import { Observable } from "rxjs";
import * as $ from 'jquery';
import { pairwise, map } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { filter } from 'rxjs/operators';
import {PageHandleService} from '../pageHandling.service'
@Component({
  selector: 'app-header',
  templateUrl: './header.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./header.component.scss']
})




export class HeaderComponent implements AfterContentInit,AfterViewInit,OnInit,OnDestroy{

    public previousUrl: any;
    private subscription: Subscription;


      @ViewChild("superclass", { static: false } as any) superclass: ElementRef;
      @ViewChildren("megaclass") megaclass: QueryList<ElementRef>;


  constructor( private element: ElementRef, private renderer: Renderer2, private router: Router, private activatedRoute: ActivatedRoute, private location: Location, private pageHandleService: PageHandleService){
    this.subscription = router.events.subscribe((s: Event) => {
      if (s instanceof NavigationEnd) {
        this.update();
      }
    });


  }


  ngOnInit(){

  }


  ngAfterViewInit() {
  }

  ngAfterContentInit(){
  }



private update(): void {
  if (!this.router.navigated || !this.superclass) return;
      Promise.resolve().then(() => {
        this.previousUrl = this.router.url

        this.megaclass.toArray().forEach( (superclass) => {

          var superclass = superclass
          console.log( superclass.nativeElement.children[0].classList )
          console.log( superclass.nativeElement.children )

          if (this.previousUrl == superclass.nativeElement.getAttribute("routerLink")) {
            this.renderer.addClass(superclass.nativeElement.children[0], "box")
            console.log("add class")

          } else {
            this.renderer.removeClass(superclass.nativeElement.children[0], "box")
            console.log("remove class")
          }

        });
})
//update is done
}
ngOnDestroy(): void { this.subscription.unsubscribe(); }


//class is done
}

注意: 对于编程方式，请确保添加router-link，并且它接受一个子元素。如果你想要改变它，你需要在superclass.nativeElement上去掉子元素。

基于https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/6407#issuecomment-190179875对@alex-correia-santos的回答进行了小改进

import {Router, RouteConfig, ROUTER_DIRECTIVES} from 'angular2/router';
// ...
export class App {
  constructor(private router: Router) {
  }

  // ...

  isActive(instruction: any[]): boolean {
    return this.router.isRouteActive(this.router.generate(instruction));
  }
} 

像这样使用它:

<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
    <li [class.active]="isActive(['Home'])">
        <a [routerLink]="['Home']">Home</a>
    </li>
    <li [class.active]="isActive(['About'])">
        <a [routerLink]="['About']">About</a>
    </li>
</ul>

在Angular2 RC2中，你可以使用这个简单的实现

<a [routerLink]="['/dashboard']" routerLinkActive="active">Dashboard</a>

这将添加类active的元素与匹配的url，阅读更多关于它在这里

首先在.ts中导入RouterLinkActive

import {RouterLinkActive} from '@angular/router';

现在在HTML中使用RouterLinkActive

<span class="" routerLink ="/some_path" routerLinkActive="class_Name">Value</span></a>

为类“class_Name”提供一些css，因为当这个链接被激活/单击时，你会在span检查时发现这个类。

下面是使用RouteData根据当前路由样式化菜单栏项的方法:

routecconfig包含了tab(当前路由)的数据:

@RouteConfig([
  {
    path: '/home',    name: 'Home',    component: HomeComponent,
    data: {activeTab: 'home'},  useAsDefault: true
  }, {
    path: '/jobs',    name: 'Jobs',    data: {activeTab: 'jobs'},
    component: JobsComponent
  }
])

一份布局:

  <li role="presentation" [ngClass]="{active: isActive('home')}">
    <a [routerLink]="['Home']">Home</a>
  </li>
  <li role="presentation" [ngClass]="{active: isActive('jobs')}">
    <a [routerLink]="['Jobs']">Jobs</a>
  </li>

类:

export class MainMenuComponent {
  router: Router;

  constructor(data: Router) {
    this.router = data;
  }

  isActive(tab): boolean {
    if (this.router.currentInstruction && this.router.currentInstruction.component.routeData) {
      return tab == this.router.currentInstruction.component.routeData.data['activeTab'];
    }
    return false;
  }
}

对于angular 5用户来说，简单的解决方案是将routerLinkActive添加到列表项中。

routerLinkActive指令通过routerLink指令与路由相关联。

它接受一个类数组作为输入，如果它的路由当前是活动的，它将把这些类添加到它所附加的元素中，如下所示:

<li class="nav-item"
    [routerLinkActive]="['active']">
  <a class="nav-link"
     [routerLink]="['home']">Home
  </a>
</li>

如果我们当前正在查看主路由，上述操作将为锚标记添加一类active。
