Angular 18 Routing and Navigation Example Tutorial

In this short tutorial, we will share the quick and straightforward way to create the angular 18 routing module. you will learn how to create a separate routing module in angular 18. Here you will learn how to make a routing module in angular 18. If you have a question about how to create a router module in angular 18 then I will give a simple example with a solution.

I will give you step-by-step instructions on how to create a module with routing in your angular 18 application. I will give you a very simple example so you can easily understand how it works.

In this example, I will simply create one admin module and inside the admin module, we will create a home, user, and post component that will call the module route file. you have to just follow a few steps and it will be done and layout will be as below:

Preview:

Step 1: Create New App

You can easily create your angular app using bellow command:

ng new my-module-app

Step 2: Create Component For Module

Now we will add new component to our admin module using bellow command, so let's create home, user and post component for admin module:

ng g component admin/home
ng g component admin/user
ng g component admin/post

run successfully command, it will create folder with files as like bellow path:

src/app/admin/home/*
src/app/admin/user/*
src/app/admin/post/*

There is html file to all three component. so you can simple update that file with your content to checking demo if you want.

Step 3: Add Route for Component

In this step, we will simply add route with created component. so we have to update our admin-routing module file as like bellow code:

src/app/app.routes.ts

import { Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { HomeComponent } from './admin/home/home.component';
import { UserComponent } from './admin/user/user.component';
import { PostComponent } from './admin/post/post.component';
  
export const routes: Routes = [
  {path : 'user', component : UserComponent},
  {path : 'post', component : PostComponent},
  {path : '', component : HomeComponent}
];

Step 4: Update Component HTML File

here, we have to update our app component html file, we need to add links of all route with router-outlet, so let's update it as like bellow:

I used bootstrap class on this file. so if you want to add than then follow this link too: Install Bootstrap 5 to Angular 18.

src/app/app.component.html

<div class="container">
  <nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-primary">
    <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Admin Panel</a>
  
    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
      <ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
        <li class="nav-item active">
          <a class="nav-link" href="#home" routerLink="/">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item">
          <a class="nav-link" href="#user" routerLink="/user">User</a>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item">
          <a class="nav-link" href="#post" routerLink="/post">Post</a>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </nav>
</div>
   
<div class="container">
    <router-outlet></router-outlet>
</div>

Step 5: Import Module to app.components.ts file

In last step, we will simply import our module to app.components.ts file, so, let's update that file as like bellow:

src/app/app.components.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { RouterModule, RouterOutlet } from '@angular/router';
  
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule, RouterOutlet, RouterModule],
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'route';
}

Run Angular App:

All the required steps have been done, now you have to type the given below command and hit enter to run the Angular app:

ng serve

Now, Go to your web browser, type the given URL and view the app output:

http://localhost:4200

I hope it can help you...
