Exploring the world of child routing in Angular 17

I've been experimenting with child routing in Angular and encountered some confusion.

Can someone explain the difference between the following two routing configurations?

{path:'products',component:ProductsComponent,children:[{path:'details/:id',component:ProductDetailsComponent}]}

and

{path:'products',component:ProductsComponent},

{path:'products',children:[{path:'details/:id',component:ProductDetailsComponent}]},

The first one seems to change the URL but doesn't navigate to the ProductDetailsComponent. However, the second configuration works as expected and takes me to the ProductDetailsComponent.

I'm working on implementing children routing in angular 17 and would appreciate any insights or clarifications.

Answer №1

From my understanding, the second option can be simplified as follows:

{path:'products',component:ProductsComponent},

{path:'products/details/:id',component:ProductDetailsComponent},

This configuration essentially means that...

To address why the first option did not work, it is important to consider the following:

  • The ProductsComponent must include a router-outlet within the HTML. This allows the product details to load within it. Essentially, if there are child components, they will be rendered within the component configured for that path (ProductsComponent). If you want to render the contents of the product details within the product component, follow this method. Otherwise, consider the alternative routing approach below:

  • For an alternative method of routing, you can try the following:

routing

 { 
      path:'products',
      children:[
          {path: '', component: ProductsComponent},
          {path: 'details/:id', component: ProductDetailsComponent},
      ],
 },

In this setup, "products" serves as the base path. When it's just "products," the ProductsComponent will be rendered. If it's "details/:id," then the ProductDetailsComponent will be rendered. This approach is recommended for readability purposes!
