How to change router to typescript in angular2?

Question

For example, I use router-link as follows:

<li><a [router-link]="['/start']">Start</a></li>

But how can I change the router to / start using typescript?

Answer 1

A small update related to the strategy of placing hashes.

In recent versions of angular2, the method is binddeprecated, so you can change the location strategy using the method provide.

bootstrap(MyApp, [
  ROUTER_PROVIDERS,provide(LocationStrategy, {useClass: HashLocationStrategy})
]);

Answer 2

I suppose you are asking how to set up routes in Angular 2.

• 1) import and load your router

• 2) Use @RouteConfig to configure routes on the component

• Optional: add hashbang (#) to your URL

Here is an example:

import {Component, View, bind, bootstrap} from 'angular2/angular2';
import {routerInjectables, routerDirectives, Router, RouteConfig} from 'angular2/router';
import {LocationStrategy, Location, HashLocationStrategy } from 'angular2/router'; // options2: HTML5LocationStategy

// Components
import {Home} from 'home';
import {SomewhereElse} from 'somePlace';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-name'
})
@View({
  template: '<router-outlet></router-outlet>',
  directives: [routerDirectives]
})
@RouteConfig([
  {path: '/start', as:  component: Home},
  {path: '/place/:placeId', component: SomewhereElse}
])
class AppName {}

bootstrap(AppName, [
  routerInjectables,
  bind(LocationStrategy).toClass(HashLocationStrategy) // for hashbang routes (/#/)
  // alternative: use HTML5LocationStrategy
]);
