Angular 2 Routes not working while navigating through browser URL
I'm supposing that when you're navigating from user/:username/
to /user/:username/detail
you need your UserComponent
to hide everything that's on his template and show the DetailComponent
So to achieve that you'll need a component that will load its children component :
parent.component.html
<router-outlet></router-outlet>
routes.ts
Now let's set the routes so that user/:username/
will load in the parent component
// user routes
export const userRoutes : Routes = [
{
path: '',
component: UserComponent // the '' path will load UserComponent
},
{
path: 'detail',
component: DetailComponent
},
{
path: 'friends',
component: FriendsComponent
},
{
path: 'profile',
component: ProfileComponent
}
]
//app routes
const appRoutes: Routes = [
{
path: '',
component: HomeComponent
},
{
path: 'photos',
component: PhotosComponent
},
{
path: 'posts',
component: PostsComponent
},
{
path: 'users',
component: UserListComponent
},
{
path: 'user/:username',
component: ParentComponent, //This component will load its children
children: userRoutes
},
{
path: 'videos',
component: VideosComponent
}
]
export const AppRoutes = RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes);
export const appRoutingProviders: any[] = [];
So, what is happening here is that when you navigate to user/:username
ParentComponent
is loaded then UserComponent
loaded in parent component's outlet (since the ''
path correspond to user/:username
)
Here is a working example : Github
When you access user/myuser
it will display : user works !
user/myuser/details
will display : details works ! as you can see below (Without using a routerlink)

I have some problems with routes for an Angular project, mainly with the third level of child routes. The routes are working prefectly while navigating on the app. (
routerLink
) and the problem arise when accessing the URL through the browser URL.My Angular version is 2.4.0
I am testing on dev server withng serve
.For a project with the given structure,
. ├── photos ├── posts ├── users │ ├── detail │ │ ├── address │ │ ├── family │ │ ├── information │ │ └── phones │ ├── friends │ └── profile └── videos
The following is the code,
// user routes export const userRoutes : Routes = [ { path: 'detail', component: DetailComponent }, { path: 'friends', component: FriendsComponent }, { path: 'profile', component: ProfileComponent } ] //app routes const appRoutes: Routes = [ { path: '', component: HomeComponent }, { path: 'photos', component: PhotosComponent }, { path: 'posts', component: PostsComponent }, { path: 'users', component: UserListComponent }, { path: 'user/:username', component: UserComponent, children: userRoutes }, { path: 'videos', component: VideosComponent } ] export const AppRoutes = RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes); export const appRoutingProviders: any[] = [];
and is registered as,
@NgModule({ declarations: [ // declarations ], imports: [ AppRoutes ], providers: [ appRoutingProviders ], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { }
So the Application works well with the RouterLink
[routerLink]="['/user', username, 'detail']
but when I navigate the browser
<host>/user/myuser/detail
it raise exceptionUncaught (in promise): Error: Cannot find primary outlet to load 'DetailComponent'
Whats wrong? Thanks.
NB: I have setup
<router-outlet>
and is working perfectly on routerLink and the problem arises when the navigate through full url in browser.
