Angular 5 Child routing empty path overrides root empty path?

Question

i tried the following setup.

The routing for the root:

const routes: Routes = [
    {path: 'home', loadChildren: 'app/home/home.module#HomeModule'},
    {path: 'note', loadChildren: 'app/note/note.module#NoteModule'},
    ...
    {path: '', redirectTo: 'home', pathMatch: 'full'},
    {path: '**', redirectTo: 'home', pathMatch: 'full'}
];

export const Routing: ModuleWithProviders = RouterModule.forRoot(routes);

The routing for one child:

const routes: Routes = [
    {path: '', component: NoteContainerComponent},
    ...
];

export const NoteRouting: ModuleWithProviders = RouterModule.forChild(routes);

So if i navigate to localhost:4200 i would expect to be redirected to localhost:4200/home but instead there is no url redirect happening but The note route is loaded. Shouldn't the empty note route only match if i do something like localhost:4200/note ? All routes in child routing should only apply if the parent of the child is loaded.

Is it not possible to have empty path on child routes?

Answer 1

So i finally found the issue, i had the modules wich i wanted to load lazy imported in my root module. This caused the issue, because the RouterModule.forChild was applied as it was .forRoot
