Use redirectTo if you using also children parameter, is this possible?
An empty child route should do the job:
{ path: 'project/:id', component: ProjectComponent, children: [ { path: '', redirectTo: 'properties', pathMatch: 'full' }, { path: 'properties', component: ProjectPropertiesComponent, }, { path: 'stats', component: ProjectStatsComponent } ] }
j2L4e answer is correct, but I was also forced to set the 'pathMatch' type as 'prefix' ..
pathMatch: 'prefix'
{ path: 'project/:id', component: ProjectComponent, children: [ { path: '', redirectTo: 'properties', pathMatch: 'prefix' }, { path: 'properties', component: ProjectPropertiesComponent, }, { path: 'stats', component: ProjectStatsComponent } ] }
