These are my working codes (they are in a module): component.html: <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row flex-nowrap"> <div class="col-auto px-0"> <div id="sidebar" class="collapse collapse-horizontal show border-end"> <div class="card" style="max-width: 100%;"> <div class="card-header" [ngClass]="{ 'text-bg-secondary': 0 === 0 }"> <h5>Documents List</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <ul class="list-group list-group-flush"> <li class="list-group-item d-flex justify-content-between align-items-start" *ngFor="let t of dataSource() | paginate: {itemsPerPage:10,currentPage}; index as i" (click)="selectedRow(t, i)" [ngClass]="{ 'text-bg-primary': t === rowSelected }">{{ t.title }}</li> </ul> </div> <div class="card-footer"> <pagination-controls (pageChange)="p = $event"></pagination-controls> </div> </div> </div> </div> <main class="col ps-md-2 pt-2"> <a href="#" data-bs-target="#sidebar" data-bs-toggle="collapse" class="border rounded-3 p-1 text-decoration-none" [attr.aria-expanded]="true"><i class="bi bi-list bi-lg py-2 p-1"></i> Pdf Document</a> <router-outlet></router-outlet> </main> </div> </div> in routing.module.ts const routes: Routes = [ { path: 'books/:folder', component: DocViewerComponent, //children: [{ // path: './:title', // component: PdfViewerComponent //}] }, { path: 'books/:folder/:title', component: PdfViewerComponent, } ]; component.ts selectedRow(row: any, index: number) { this.router.navigate(['/doc/books', this.fileFolder, row.title], { relativeTo: this.activatedRoute }) } It is working because path:'books/:folder' and path:'books/:folder/:title' are different children (when it displays pdf file the list from dataSource is disappeared). My goal is to put the PdfViewerComponent component as a child of the DocViewerComponent component. However, I don't know how to navigate it from the DocViewerComponent component to the child PdfViewerComponent component. I tried put name in the and it still doesn't work. I appriciated for any inputs/ideas. Thank you. Continue reading...
