Dynamically Adding Route Components

Rather than define each route's component separately, use RouterOutlet which serves as a component placeholder; Angular 2 dynamically adds the component for the route being activated into the <router-outlet></router-outlet> element.

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

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  template: `
    <nav>
      <a [routerLink]="['/component-one']">Component One</a>
      <a [routerLink]="['/component-two']">Component Two</a>
    </nav>

    <router-outlet></router-outlet>
    <!-- Route components are added by router here -->
  `
})
export class AppComponent {}

In the above example, the component corresponding to the route specified will be placed after the <router-outlet></router-outlet> element when the link is clicked.
