Can't bind to 'routerLink' since it isn't a known property

Question

Recently, I have started playing with angular 2. It\'s awesome so far. So, i have started a demo personal project for the sake of learning using angular-cli. <

You are missing either the inclusion of the route package, or including the router module in your main app module.

Make sure your package.json has this:

"@angular/router": "^3.3.1"

Then in your app.module import the router and configure the routes:

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

imports: [
        RouterModule.forRoot([
            {path: '', component: DashboardComponent},
            {path: 'dashboard', component: DashboardComponent}
        ])
    ],

Update:

Move the AppRoutingModule to be first in the imports:

imports: [
    AppRoutingModule.
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule,
    HttpModule,
    AlertModule.forRoot(), // What is this?
    LayoutModule,
    UsersModule
  ],
