Is it possible to get route parameters from parent in a child route (router-lite)?

Thanks for any help!

Hi @elitastic! In your example, you are already passing the `id` as a route parameter to the `employee-info`, and as I see here, those parameters are read correctly as well. You can see that here: [parameters from parent (forked) - StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/edit/au2-conventions-8fqcru?file=src%2Femployee-info.ts,src%2Femployee-info.html,src%2Femployee.html).

However, I feel that you are looking for a way to avoid having the `:id`route parameter for the `info` route, because it produces `/employee/1/info/1`, which might be aesthetically displeasing. If that’s what bothering you, then you might choose to inject the `IRouteContext` and grab the parameter from the parent node. A [hasty example](https://stackblitz.com/edit/au2-conventions-qs3u1f?file=src%2Femployee.ts,src%2Femployee-info.html,src%2Femployee-info.ts,src%2Femployee.html) looks like below.

```ts
import { resolve } from '@aurelia/kernel';
import { IRouteContext } from '@aurelia/router-lite';

export class EmployeeInfo {
  private readonly id: string = resolve(IRouteContext).parent.node.params.id;
}

```
