Routing and navigation
Routing and navigation
In Angular, routing and navigation are essential concepts for building single-page
applications (SPAs).
They allow you to create a seamless user experience by navigating between
different views or components without the need to reload the entire page.
Let's introduce routing and navigation to angular application
Step 1: Create a new Angular project
ng new your-project-name
cd your-project-name

Step 2: Generate Components
ng generate component home
ng generate component about

Setup routes In the src/app/app-routing.module.ts file.
Step 3: Define the paths and corresponding components
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { HomeComponent } from './home/home.component';
import { AboutComponent } from './about/about.component';
const routes: Routes = [
{ path: '', component: HomeComponent },
{ path: 'about', component: AboutComponent },
];
@NgModule({
imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class AppRoutingModule { }

In the src/app/app.module.ts file, import the
Step 4: AppRoutingModule and add it to the imports array:
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
// ...
],
imports: [
// ...
AppRoutingModule,
],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
Let's introduce routing and navigation to angular application
In your component templates (e.g.,
Step 5: src/app/app.component.html), create navigation links
using the routerLink directive:
<nav>
<a routerLink="/">Home</a>
<a routerLink="/about">About</a>
</nav>
<router-outlet></router-outlet>
Let's introduce routing and navigation to angular application
n the component template where you want to display the
Step 6: routed components (e.g., src/app/app.component.html),
add the <router-outlet></router-outlet> tag. This is
where Angular will render the routed components.
Run your application
Step 7:
ng serve

Understand
What is the purpose of the <router-outlet></router-outlet> tag in an
Angular component template?
a) It displays routing information in the browser's console.
b) It defines the route configuration for lazy loading.
c) It renders the components associated with the current route.

Apply
How do you configure route parameters in Angular?
a) Using the queryParams property in the route configuration.
b) By defining a params property in the route configuration.
