Does the Angular2.0 router only function with components, not modules?

Currently in the process of adjusting an existing angular application to integrate with the format of this Starter Project. Within my app module, there exists a submodule (tutorial) structured as follows:

https://i.sstatic.net/Q9Dku.png Upon initially accessing the root domain and navigating through router links to

http://localhost:3000/tutorial/chapter/0
, everything functions properly. However, upon refreshing the page or attempting to directly access that link, an error occurs:

Unhandled Promise rejection: Template parse errors:
'my-app' is not a known element:
1. If 'my-app' is an Angular component, verify it's part of this module.
2. If 'my-app' is a Web Component, add "CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA" to '@NgModule.schema' of this component to suppress this message. ("<body>
    [ERROR ->]<my-app>
        <div class="valign-wrapper">
            <div class="preloader-wrapper active valign") a@30:4 ; Zone: <root> ; Task: Promise.then ; Value: Error: Template parse errors:(…) Error: Template parse

This issue seems to arise because instead of linking to the appcomponent with the tutorial submodule as a child, the URL directs to TutorialModule, causing the <my-app></my-app> tags from index.html to go unrecognized. This previously worked, so it's unclear what aspect of this new configuration has triggered the problem.

Shown below is my app.routes.ts:

import { homeComponent } from './components/home/home.component';
import { pluginsComponent } from './components/plugins/plugins.component';
import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';

const appRoutes: Routes = [
  { path: '', component: homeComponent },
  { path: 'tutorial', loadChildren: 'tutorial/tutorial.module', pathMatch: 'prefix'},
  { path: 'plugins', component: pluginsComponent }
];

export const appRoutingProviders: any[] = [];

export const routing = RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes);

and my tutorial.routes.ts:

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

import { tutorialComponent }    from './tutorial.component';
import { chapterComponent }  from './chapter/chapter.component';

const tutorialRoutes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'tutorial',
    component: tutorialComponent,
    children: [
      { path: 'chapter/:id',  component: chapterComponent },
      { path: '', redirectTo: 'chapter/0', pathMatch: 'full'},
    ]
  }
];

export const tutorialRouting = RouterModule.forChild(tutorialRoutes);

Lastly, within my app.ts where I establish the express routes, the following is present:

app.all(/^\/tutorial$/, (req, res) => {
  res.redirect('/tutorial/');
});
app.use('/tutorial/', (req, res) => {
  res.sendFile(resolve(__dirname, '../public/index.html'));
});

To serve the angular index for the tutorial component.

Answer №1

The problem stemmed from the index.html file; I mistakenly used <base href="."> instead of <base href="/">. I have documented this issue in a bug report located here

Answer №2

As mentioned by @micronyks in the comments, it is essential to configure your web server to redirect all requests to your index.html page in order for your app to properly load and navigate to the designated "deep" link.
