Exploring some handy features provided by Angular Router

The RouterScroller entity is a very interesting part of the Angular Router. In this post, we're going to have a look at how it works, what makes its features possible and how it can be configured, depending on the developer's needs.

canActivateInterface that a class can implement to be a guard deciding if a route can be activated. If all guards return true, navigation will continue. If any guard returns false, navigation will be cancelled. If any guard returns a UrlTree, current navigation will be cancelled and a new navigation will

In this article we’ll examine these changes and see how they can be used. We’ll also see how switchMap enforces that only one navigation can exist at any one time.

In this article, we’ll explore how to start using these new features. We’ll also understand the motivations behind them, and take a glance at how they are implemented in the Angular sources.

Lazy loading is a useful technique for faster initial page loads. With lazy loading, your application loads faster by shipping only the essential startup code to the browser. Another code is placed inside of feature modules, which are loaded on demand.

Routing is essential for any frontend framework or library. It makes single page applications possible by letting us load the application once, and display different content to the user through client-side routing. It’s easy enough to get started with Angular’s router, but have you ever wondered what really

In the introductory article for this series, we glanced over the architecture of Angular’s router, and defined three pillars of the router: router states, navigation, and lazy loading.

In this short article, we’re going to explore secondary outlets (sometimes called named router outlets), and see the role they play in routing.

The Angular router is a marvel of software engineering. From handling application navigation to enforcing route guards and facilitating lazy loading of modules, Angular’s router is indispensable for most applications.
