I\'ve started to write a new angular 2 project and I found that I installed 2 angular router:

1. \"@angular/router\": \"2.0.0-rc.1\",

Answer 1

This helped me get started with the new router: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/router.html

EDIT: Above link is empty for now.. cached version thanks to tylerjgarland: https://web.archive.org/web/20160416143350/https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/router.html

I also found Misko Hevery's router talk from ng-conf helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8yAdeshpcw

UPDATE: It appears that the RC1 Router is being abandoned? https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/9088 Perhaps that is why the docs disappeared rather than being completed...

UPDATE 2: The RC2 Router has now been released: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/router.html

The Component Router is in alpha release. This is the recommended Angular 2 router and supersedes the earlier deprecated beta and v2 routers.

this line in package.json for the new alpha router:

"@angular/router": "3.0.0-alpha.7",

as I found out here: Installing Angular 2 RC2 w/ new component router
