I’m migrating a larger Aurelia 1 application and I have trouble getting the active route in components.

I’m using the _aurelia/router_ and I’m following the example in [Router Recipes - The Aurelia 2 Docs](https://docs.aurelia.io/routing/router-recipes#getting-the-currently-active-route)

I’m doing this in _attached_ and if i delay the check for a few milliseconds it works, so it looks like it’s a timing issue. Should’t the router be ready in _attached_ or is there a later component lifecycle step I could use?
