RouterLink does not work












60















My routing in the angular2 apps works well. But i am going to make some routeLink based on this:



Here is my routing:



const routes: RouterConfig = [
{ path:'home' , component: FormComponent },
{ path:'about', component: AboutComponent },
{ path:'**' , component: FormComponent }
];


And here is the links that i made:



<ul class="nav navbar-nav item">
<li>
<a routerLink='/home' routerLinkActive="active">Home</a>
</li>
<li>
<a routerLink='/about' routerLinkActive="active">About this</a>
</li>
</ul>


I expect that, when i click on them it navigates to the respected component, but they do not perform anything?

    Maybe you forgot to add directives: [ROUTER_DIRECTIVES], to your component's metadata. Without that, Angular won't know to parse the routerLinks.

The code you are showing there is absolutely correct.



I suspect that your problem is that you are not importing RouterModule (which is where RouterLink is declared) into the module which uses this template.



I had a similar problem and it took me some time to solve as this step is not mentioned in the documentation.



So go to the module that declares the component with this template and add:



import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router';


then add it to your modules imports e.g.



@NgModule({
imports: [
CommonModule,
RouterModule
],
declarations: [MyTemplatesComponent]
})
export class MyTemplatesModule { }


Along with having the correct import statements, you'll also need a place for that routerLink to be shown, which is in the <router-outlet></router-outlet> element, so that also needs to be placed somewhere in your HTML markup so the router knows where to display that data.

        Yes, the bracket notation works (and is valid syntax with as specific purpose), but it's not a solution to this question.

      The links are wrong, you have to do this:



      <ul class="nav navbar-nav item">
      <li>
      <a [routerLink]="['/home']" routerLinkActive="active">Home</a>
      </li>
      <li>
      <a [routerLink]="['/about']" routerLinkActive="active">About this
      </a>
      </li>
      </ul>


      You can read this tutorial

      • this was it! <a [routerLink]="['/home']" routerLinkActive="active">Home</a> I was following the tutorial which had me put the routerLinkActive in the < li > tag. when I placed it in the < a tag it now works! Many thanks!!!! this is excellent!

      • BTW, I do have all the other tags/suggested elements in place already. Now this feature works (sort of). I have to follow the rest of the tutorial because I notice that when I select other rows, even though the value for the selected row is being passed (I see it in the url) only the first row is being rendered. But that will be another topic. Many thanks again for this great help.

                        Yes, the bracket notation works (and is valid syntax with as specific purpose), but it's not a solution to this question.

I have to follow the rest of the tutorial because I notice that when I select other rows, even though the value for the selected row is being passed (I see it in the url) only the first row is being rendered. But that will be another topic. Many thanks again for this great help.

                      BTW, I do have all the other tags/suggested elements in place already. Now this feature works (sort of). I have to follow the rest of the tutorial because I notice that when I select other rows, even though the value for the selected row is being passed (I see it in the url) only the first row is being rendered. But that will be another topic. Many thanks again for this great help.
