I want to detect a route from the current component and tried something like that. But it is triggered on every route starts and ends. Instead of this, how can I detect only the route changes when routes from this DetailsComponent?

export class DetailsComponent {

    constructor(private router: Router) {

        this.router.events.subscribe((event: Event) => {
            if (event instanceof NavigationStart) {
            }

            if (event instanceof NavigationEnd) {
            }
        });

   }
}

I need to get the url while navigation from this DetailsComponent and make an operation if the url is not /employees.

The reason your events continue to be detected, is because you are not unsubscribing from router.events when your DetailsComponent is destroyed.

If you simply unsubscribe, it should work for you:

export class DetailsComponent {
  private sub = this.router.events
    .pipe(
      filter(event => event instanceof NavigationStart),
      map(event => event as NavigationStart),  // appease typescript
      filter(event => event.url !== '/employees')
    )
    .subscribe(
      event => console.log('[DetailsComponent] NOT going to "/employees"!', event)
    );

  constructor(private router: Router) { }

  ngOnDestroy() {
    console.log('>> STOP listening to events for DetailsComponent');
    this.sub.unsubscribe();
  }

}

Here's a StackBlitz example.
