Routing between modules in Angular 2

It turns out that lazy loading didn't work properly in RC5, just upgraded to RC6 and it all worked.

It's not necessary to import components into main(app) module,

If you are loading routes lazily you may just define path like below,

// In app module route
{
 path: 'dashboard',
 loadChildren: 'app/dashboard.module#DashboardModule'
}

// in dashboard module
const dashboardRoutes: Routes = [
  { path: '',  component: DashboardComponent }
];

export const dashboardRouting = RouterModule.forChild(dashboardRoutes);

@NgModule({
  imports: [
   dashboardRouting
  ],
  declarations: [
    DashboardComponent
  ]
})
export class DashboardModule {
}

OR

You may just import the DashboardModule in the main module and it will work if the routes are not lazily loaded.

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule,
    DashboardModule,
    routing
  ],
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  providers: [
    appRoutingProviders
  ],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule {
}
