[Router question/FR] How to expose route name? #5180

TL;DR

Is there a way to get the name property of a Route, or the complete info of it? If there isn't I think it would be super awesome to have it.

Long and boring story

I've asked in gitter's chatroom and after a brief brainstorm I couldn't get a definitive answer, so I'm asking here.

The use case for this is to create a breadcrumb where the name of the route would be extremely useful.

I have this simple route

{path: '/index', component: RoutingIndex, name : 'Index'}

And I want to get the name property so I can use it dynamically

class RoutingIndex {
   constructor(router: Router) {
       this.routeName = router.getThisParticularRouteName(); // Returns 'Index'
   }
}

This is just for a name property, but exposing all the info it would be nice too and you could name it RouteInfo or so and make it injectable and I totally came up with that name, I didn't steal it from anyone. Note that this one would be not the same as RouteData

Something like this

constructor(routeInfo: RouteInfo) {
     // Get the name for this particular route
     routeInfo.getName()
}

My workaround so far is this little piece of code

constructor(router: Router) {
    router.registry._rules.forEach((val) => {
        val.names.forEach((v, k) => console.log(v, k)); 
        // 'k' is the route name and 'v' is a lot of weird things
});

Not good, I'm iterating over something private, but it's one solution so far.

A shorter one would be this

{path: '/index', component: RoutingIndex, name : 'Index', data : {'name':'Index'}}

But that seems a little redundant and I would have to repeat it in every route and yes, I'm super lazy.

Any advice? Am I missing something obvious? Please don't say use the data property
