Answer 1

2.0.0-alpha.36 (2015-08-31)

• routerInjectables was renamed to ROUTER_BINDINGS

2.0.0-alpha.41 (2015-10-13)

• ROUTER_BINDINGS was renamed to ROUTER_PROVIDERS

USE ROUTER_PROVIDERS

ROUTER_PROVIDERS is used to simplify bootstrapping the router.

It includes:

• RouterRegistry - the collection of registered routes
• LocationStrategy = PathLocationStrategy - match by path

ROUTER_PROVIDERS provides 'sane' defaults and should be used unless you need to need a different route LocationStrategy.

Change:

bootstrap(DashboardAppComponent);

To:

bootstrap(DashboardAppComponent, [
  ROUTER_PROVIDERS
]);

2.0.0-alpha.38 (2015-10-03)

Route aliases need to be CamelCase (technically PascalCase)

Note: this was mentioned already in Pardeep's answer under #3

If you want to include a link to a route in your template via router-link you have to make sure the alias (ie the name property) of the route is PascalCase.

If you use plan to use router-link modify the route to:

{ path: '/employees', component: EmployeesComponent, name: 'Employees'}

Then you can add the link in your template with:

Employees Link

RouterLink dynamically inserts a href that matches the route path.

Note: Reading the issue/pr it appears this change was made to prevent users from confusing the binding with the route url

Tip:

If you want to simplify your view directives use ROUTER_DIRECTIVES

It includes:

• RouterLink
• RouterOutlet
