Obviously the beta for Angular2 is newer than new, so there’s not much information out there, but I am trying to do what I think is some fairly basic routing.
Hacking about with the quick-start code and other snippets from the https://angular.io website has resulted in the following file structure:
angular-testapp/
app/
app.component.ts
boot.ts
routing-test.component.ts
index.html
With the files being populated as follows:
index.html
<html>
<head>
<base href="https://stackoverflow.com/">
<title>Angular 2 QuickStart</title>
<link href="http://stackoverflow.com/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">

<!-- 2. Configure SystemJS -->
<script>
System.config({

}
}
});
System.import('app/boot')
.then(null, console.error.bind(console));
</script>
</head>
<!-- 3. Display the application -->

</html>
boot.ts
import {bootstrap} from 'angular2/platform/browser'
import {ROUTER_PROVIDERS} from 'angular2/router';
import {AppComponent} from './app.component'
bootstrap(AppComponent, [
ROUTER_PROVIDERS
]);
app.component.ts
import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
import {RouteConfig, ROUTER_DIRECTIVES, ROUTER_PROVIDERS, LocationStrategy, HashLocationStrategy} from 'angular2/router';
import {RoutingTestComponent} from './routing-test.component';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
template: `
<h1>Component Router</h1>
<a [routerLink]="['RoutingTest']">Routing Test</a>
<router-outlet></router-outlet>
`
})
@RouteConfig([
{path:'/routing-test', name: 'RoutingTest', component: RoutingTestComponent, useAsDefault: true},
])
export class AppComponent { }
routing-test.component.ts
import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
import {Router} from 'angular2/router';
@Component({
template: `
<h2>Routing Test</h2>
<p>Interesting stuff goes here!</p>
`
})
export class RoutingTestComponent { }
Attempting to run this code produces the error:
EXCEPTION: Template parse errors:
Can't bind to 'routerLink' since it isn't a known native property ("
<h1>Component Router</h1>
<a [ERROR ->][routerLink]="['RoutingTest']">Routing Test</a>
<router-outlet></router-outlet>
"): AppComponent@2:11
I found a vaguely related issue here; router-link directives broken after upgrading to angular2.0.0-beta.0. However, the “working example” in one of the answers is based on pre-beta code – which may well still work, but I would like to know why the code I have created is not working.
Any pointers would be gratefully received!
