Angular Module Routing
Organizing Application Navigation within Modules
Introduction
Angular routing is a fundamental concept for structuring and organizing your application's navigation flow. It allows you to define routes that map URLs to specific components, enabling users to navigate seamlessly between different parts of your application.
Module Routing
Module routing in Angular involves defining routes within a specific module, allowing you to isolate navigation within that module. This approach promotes code organization and modularity. Here's a breakdown of how it works:
Defining Routes in a Module
To implement module routing, you need to define routes within the module's configuration. This is typically done in the @NgModule
decorator's imports
array.
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
const routes: Routes = [
{ path: '', component: HomeComponent },
{ path: 'products', component: ProductsComponent }
];
@NgModule({
imports: [RouterModule.forChild(routes)],
exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class ProductsModule { }
Accessing Routes
To navigate between components within a module, you can use the Angular Router's RouterLink
directive. This directive binds a URL to a specific route, creating a clickable link.

You can also define child routes within a module to create nested navigation structures.
Summary
- Module routing allows you to organize your application's navigation flow within specific modules.
- Define routes in a module's configuration using the
@NgModule
decorator'simports
array. - Use the
RouterLink
directive to create clickable links that navigate to specific routes within a module.
