Angular2 Exception: Can't bind to 'routerLink' since it isn't a known native property

Tags:

angular

Obviously the beta for Angular2 is newer than new, so there's not much information out there, but I am trying to do what I think is some fairly basic routing.

Hacking about with the quick-start code and other snippets from the https://angular.io website has resulted in the following file structure:

angular-testapp/     app/         app.component.ts         boot.ts         routing-test.component.ts     index.html 

With the files being populated as follows:

index.html

<html>    <head>     <base href="/">     <title>Angular 2 QuickStart</title>     <link href="../css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">      <!-- 1. Load libraries -->     <script src="node_modules/angular2/bundles/angular2-polyfills.js"></script>     <script src="node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js"></script>     <script src="node_modules/rxjs/bundles/Rx.js"></script>     <script src="node_modules/angular2/bundles/angular2.dev.js"></script>     <script src="node_modules/angular2/bundles/router.dev.js"></script>      <!-- 2. Configure SystemJS -->     <script>       System.config({         packages: {                   app: {             format: 'register',             defaultExtension: 'js'           }         }       });       System.import('app/boot')             .then(null, console.error.bind(console));     </script>    </head>    <!-- 3. Display the application -->   <body>     <my-app>Loading...</my-app>   </body>  </html> 

boot.ts

import {bootstrap}    from 'angular2/platform/browser' import {ROUTER_PROVIDERS} from 'angular2/router';  import {AppComponent} from './app.component'  bootstrap(AppComponent, [     ROUTER_PROVIDERS ]); 

app.component.ts

import {Component} from 'angular2/core'; import {RouteConfig, ROUTER_DIRECTIVES, ROUTER_PROVIDERS, LocationStrategy, HashLocationStrategy} from 'angular2/router';  import {RoutingTestComponent} from './routing-test.component';  @Component({     selector: 'my-app',     template: `         <h1>Component Router</h1>         <a [routerLink]="['RoutingTest']">Routing Test</a>         <router-outlet></router-outlet>         ` })  @RouteConfig([     {path:'/routing-test', name: 'RoutingTest', component: RoutingTestComponent, useAsDefault: true}, ])  export class AppComponent { } 

routing-test.component.ts

import {Component} from 'angular2/core'; import {Router} from 'angular2/router';  @Component({     template: `         <h2>Routing Test</h2>         <p>Interesting stuff goes here!</p>         ` }) export class RoutingTestComponent { } 

Attempting to run this code produces the error:

EXCEPTION: Template parse errors: Can't bind to 'routerLink' since it isn't a known native property ("         <h1>Component Router</h1>         <a [ERROR ->][routerLink]="['RoutingTest']">Routing Test</a>         <router-outlet></router-outlet>         "): AppComponent@2:11 

I found a vaguely related issue here; router-link directives broken after upgrading to angular2.0.0-beta.0. However, the "working example" in one of the answers is based on pre-beta code - which may well still work, but I would like to know why the code I have created is not working.

Any pointers would be gratefully received!

>=RC.5

import the RouterModule See also https://angular.io/guide/router

@NgModule({    imports: [RouterModule],   ... }) 

>=RC.2

app.routes.ts

import { provideRouter, RouterConfig } from '@angular/router';  export const routes: RouterConfig = [   ... ];  export const APP_ROUTER_PROVIDERS = [provideRouter(routes)]; 

main.ts

import { bootstrap } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic'; import { APP_ROUTER_PROVIDERS } from './app.routes';  bootstrap(AppComponent, [APP_ROUTER_PROVIDERS]); 

<=RC.1

Your code is missing

  @Component({     ...     directives: [ROUTER_DIRECTIVES],     ...)} 

You can't use directives like routerLink or router-outlet without making them known to your component.

While directive names were changed to be case-sensitive in Angular2, elements still use - in the name like <router-outlet> to be compatible with the web-components spec which require a - in the name of custom elements.

register globally

To make ROUTER_DIRECTIVES globally available, add this provider to bootstrap(...):

provide(PLATFORM_DIRECTIVES, {useValue: [ROUTER_DIRECTIVES], multi: true}) 

then it's no longer necessary to add ROUTER_DIRECTIVES to each component.
