I'm following the simple quickstart app from the Angular2 docs and I'm using a spring backend to run it. My problem is that the angular router ditched the hashtag from the URL so what should have been example.com/#/dashboard is now example.com/dashboard.
I am using the LocationStrategy method specified in a bunch of posts on StackOverflow. Below is my simple example:
File: main.ts
///<reference path="../node_modules/angular2/typings/browser.d.ts"/>
import {bootstrap} from 'angular2/platform/browser'
import {provide} from 'angular2/core';
import {LocationStrategy, HashLocationStrategy} from 'angular2/router';
import {TestComponent} from './simple/test.component'
bootstrap(
TestComponent,
[
provide(LocationStrategy, { useClass: HashLocationStrategy })
]
);
File: test.component.ts
import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
import {RouteConfig, ROUTER_DIRECTIVES, ROUTER_PROVIDERS } from 'angular2/router';
@Component({
selector: 'test1',
template: "<h1>This is test1 component</h1>"
})
export class Test1 { };
@Component({
selector: 'test2',
template: "<h1>This is test2 component</h1>"
})
export class Test2 { };
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
template: `
<h1>This is my test app</h1>
<nav>
<a [routerLink]="['Test1']">Test1</a>
<a [routerLink]="['Test2']">Test2</a>
</nav>
<router-outlet></router-outlet>
`,
directives: [ROUTER_DIRECTIVES],
providers: [ROUTER_PROVIDERS]
})
@RouteConfig([
{
path: '/test1',
name: 'Test1',
component: Test1
},
{
path: '/test2',
name: 'Test2',
component: Test2
}
])
export class TestComponent { }
File: index.html
<html>
<head>
<base href="/">
<title>This is an Angular 2 test</title>

System.import('app/main').then(null, console.error.bind(console));

I'm using Angular2 2.0.0-beta.9 and this is the behavior that I see. Note that none of the 2 paths in the @RouteConfig are marked with useAsDefault: true.
When I try to open up http://localhost:8080/#/test1 the page opens fine, but when I click on one of the 2 anchors in the TestComponent template, the hashtag gets dropped.
Then if I set path1 to be useAsDefault: true, the hashtag gets dropped immediately even when I try to visit http://localhost:8080/#/test1.
Can someone please tell me if I'm doing something wrong or if that's a bug? I just want to get the hashtag back in the URL.
