Change route params without reloading in Angular 2

As of RC6 you can do the following to change URL without change state and thereby keeping your route history

import {OnInit} from '@angular/core';

import {Location} from '@angular/common'; 
// If you dont import this angular will import the wrong "Location"

@Component({
  selector: 'example-component',
  templateUrl: 'xxx.html'
})
export class ExampleComponent implements OnInit
{
  constructor( private location: Location )
  {}

  ngOnInit()
  {    
    this.location.replaceState("/some/newstate/");
  }
}
