If 'router-outlet' is an Angular component, then verify that it is part of this module.

If 'router-outlet' is an Angular component, then verify that it is part of this module.

If you are working with Angular, you may come across the 'router-outlet' component. This component is used to define the location where the router will display the content of the current route. In order to use this component, you need to make sure that it is part of the current module.

Method 1: Verify it in the module.ts file

The first method to verify if 'router-outlet' is part of the current module is to check the module.ts file. This file is where you declare all the components, directives, and modules that are part of the current module.

Open the module.ts file and look for the 'declarations' array. This array should contain all the components that are part of the current module. Verify if 'router-outlet' is included in this array. If it is not included, add it to the array.


import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { HomeComponent } from './home/home.component';
import { AboutComponent } from './about/about.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    HomeComponent,
    AboutComponent,
    // add router-outlet if it's not included
  ],
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    RouterModule.forRoot([
      { path: '', component: HomeComponent },
      { path: 'about', component: AboutComponent },
    ])
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Method 2: Verify it in the HTML template

The second method to verify if 'router-outlet' is part of the current module is to check the HTML template file. This file is where you define the layout of the current component.

Open the HTML file of the component that uses 'router-outlet'. Look for the location where you want to display the content of the current route. Verify if 'router-outlet' is used in this location. If it is not used, add it to the location.


<!-- app.component.html -->
<header>
  <nav>
    <a routerLink="home">Home</a>
    <a routerLink="about">About</a>
  </nav>
</header>

<main>
  <router-outlet></router-outlet>
</main>

These are the two methods to verify if 'router-outlet' is part of the current module. Make sure to use one of these methods when working with Angular and 'router-outlet'.
