angular - Angular2: Using routes, how to display the navigation bar after successfully logged in?

Question

I'm trying to show the navigation bar, once the user successfully do.

For example:

How To Change "showMenu" property in "AppComponent" inside the "LoginComponent"? Important: I am using routes.

app.ts:

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  template: `<div *ngIf="showMenu">
               <fnd-menu-nav></fnd-menu-nav>
             </div>
             <router-outlet></router-outlet>
              `,
  directives: [ROUTER_DIRECTIVES, MenuNavComponent]
})
@RouteConfig([
  { path: '/login', name: 'Login', component: LoginComponent, useAsDefault: true },
  { path: '/welcome', name: 'Welcome', component: WelcomeComponent }
])
export class AppComponent {
  public showMenu : boolean;
}

login.component.ts:

@Component({
  selector: 'fnd-login',
  templateUrl: './fnd/login/components/login.component.html',
  providers: [LoginService]
})
export class LoginComponent {
  /* .. other properties */

  constructor(private _router: Router, private _loginService: LoginService ) {
  }
  /* .. other methods  */
  /* .. other methods  */


  private onLoginSuccessfully(data : any) : void {
    /* --> HERE: Set showMenu in AppComponent to true. How? */
    this._router.navigate(['Welcome']);

  }
}

Or this design is not the best way to solve it?

I recently did something similar and here is how I did it. First, you need to create a NavBarComponent at the root of your app. And in the NavBarComponent you reference (what I call) a GlobalEventsManager which is a service that you inject where you need it.

Here is a look at the GlobalEventsManager:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { BehaviorSubject } from "rxjs/BehaviorSubject";
import { Observable } from "rxjs/Observable";

@Injectable()
export class GlobalEventsManager {

    private _showNavBar: BehaviorSubject<boolean> = new BehaviorSubject<boolean>(false);
    public showNavBarEmitter: Observable<boolean> = this._showNavBar.asObservable();

    constructor() {}

    showNavBar(ifShow: boolean) {
        this._showNavBar.next(ifShow);
    }


}
