Angular2 - Error: The selector “app-root” did not match any elements

Question

I am learning Angular 2, without prior experience of Angular. I was following this tutorial: https://www.barbarianmeetscoding.com/blog/2016/03/25/getting-started-with-angula

Answer 1

In my case, I had included angular project2's dist content into angular project1's assets dir and I was trying to access it from http://localhost:4200/assets/project2/index.html. Bu Having an iframe inside project1's component.

project1 was created with ng new project1 --prefix project1
project2 was created with ng new project2 --prefix project2.

I was getting Error: The selector "project1-root" did not match any elements.

Not an elegant way to handle 2 angular projects, but I wanted something quick to test, and it didn't work. I ended up including project2 as a separate module in project1.

Guess, listening to elders (to KISS) is a good thing =)
