Explain Routing in Angular

The Angular router is the main foundation of the the platform. It lets developers create Single Page Applications with several views and switch between them. The @angular/router package contains Angular Router, is sophisticated routing library with multiple router outlets, path matching algorithms, easy route parameter access, and route guards to protect components.

How Routing handles in Angular

 

Key Components of Angular Routing:

Routes (Route Configuration):

• This is an array of JavaScript objects that define the mapping between URL paths and the components that should be displayed.
• Each route object typically has:
  • path: The URL segment. This can be static (e.g., 'home'), dynamic with parameters (e.g., 'products/:id'), or a wildcard ('**') for a 404 page.
  • component: The Angular component to render when the path matches.
  • redirectTo: Used to redirect from one path to another.
  • children: For defining nested (child) routes.
  • loadChildren: For lazy loading modules.

Routing in ASP.NET MVC

Conventional routing: this sort of routing is defined by calling the MapRoute method, by setting its unique name, URL pattern, and a few default settings.

• URL routing will consider the domain name. The URL pattern "{controller}/{action}/{id}" resembles localhost:1234/{controller}/{action}/{id}. 
• The default controller and action method will be used to handle requests when the URL does not contain any more information following the domain name.
• When ASP.NET MVC starts, it registers one or more patterns with the framework route table to tell the routing engine what to do with requests matching those patterns. When a request is received by the routing engine during runtime, it checks the URL against its URL patterns and returns the response.

 

Attribute-based routing is defined by specifying the Route attribute in the controller's action method.
