Loading External URL in Angular2 router-outlet

Question

I am developing an application using Angular2. I have a component with the following template:

<div>
  <router-outlet></router-outlet>
</div>

Can someone please help me how to load an external URL 'www.example.com' in this div?

Answer 1

Just create a component to render inside <ng-outlet> by using the routing config. Then you component template inside should have an <iframe> pointing to your external site.

import {Component, OnInit} from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-external-page',
    templateUrl: './external-page.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./external-page.component.css']
})

export class ExternalPageComponent implements OnInit {

    title = 'app works!';

    constructor(private _stellarService: StellarService) {
    }

    ngOnInit(): void {
    }

}

Then your component template should look like

<div>
    <iframe src="yourexternalpage url"></iframe>
</div>

Having a code like the one above, only remaining step if to configure a route in your routing.
