Angular 2 router no base href set

I am getting an error and can't find why. Here is the error:

Does anyone know why the router is throwing this? I am using angular2 beta

here is my code:

import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
import { RouteConfig, ROUTER_DIRECTIVES } from 'angular2/router';
import {LoginComponent} from './pages/login/login.component';
import {DashboardComponent} from './pages/dashboard/dashboard.component';
@Component({
    selector: 'app',
    directives:[ROUTER_DIRECTIVES],
    template:`
        <div class="wrapper">
            <router-outlet></router-outlet>
        </div>`
})
@RouteConfig([
    { path: '/',redirectTo: '/dashboard' },
    { path: '/login',name:'login',component: LoginComponent },
    { path: '/dashboard',name:'dashboard',component: DashboardComponent,}
])
export class AppComponent {
}

Angular 7,8 fix is in app.module.ts 

import {APP_BASE_HREF} from '@angular/common';

inside @NgModule add

providers: [{provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue: '/'}]

Check your index.html. If you have accidentally removed the following part, include it and it will be fine 

<base href="/">

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">

it is just that add below code in the index.html head tag

   <html>
    <head>
     <base href="/">
      ...

that worked like a charm for me.

With angular 4 you can fix this issue by updating app.module.ts file as follows:

Add import statement at the top as below:

import {APP_BASE_HREF} from '@angular/common';

And add below line inside @NgModule

providers: [{provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue: '/my/app'}]

I had faced similar issue with Angular4 and Jasmine unit tests; below given solution worked for me

Add below import statement

import { APP_BASE_HREF } from '@angular/common';

Add below statement for TestBed configuration:

TestBed.configureTestingModule({
    providers: [
        { provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue : '/' }
    ]
})

You can also use hash-based navigation by including the following in app.module.ts

import { LocationStrategy, HashLocationStrategy } from '@angular/common';

and by adding the following to the @NgModule({ ... })

@NgModule({
  ...
  providers:    [
      ProductService, {
          provide: LocationStrategy, useClass: HashLocationStrategy
      }
  ],
  ...
})

Angular 2 Development with TypeScript

“HashLocationStrategy—A hash sign (#) is added to the URL, and the URL segment after the hash uniquely identifies the route to be used as a web page fragment. This strategy works with all browsers, including the old ones.”

Excerpt From: Yakov Fain Anton Moiseev. “Angular 2 Development with TypeScript.”

https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/router.html

Add the base element just after the <head> tag. If the app folder is the application root, as it is for our application, set the href value exactly as shown here.

The <base href="/"> tells the Angular router what is the static part of the URL. The router then only modifies the remaining part of the URL.

<head>
  <base href="/">
  ...
</head>

Alternatively add

>= Angular2 RC.6

import {APP_BASE_HREF} from '@angular/common';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [routing /* or RouterModule */], 
  providers: [{provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue : '/' }]
]);

in your bootstrap.

In older versions the imports had to be like

< Angular2 RC.6

import {APP_BASE_HREF} from '@angular/common';
bootstrap(AppComponent, [
  ROUTER_PROVIDERS, 
  {provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue : '/' });
]);

< RC.0

import {provide} from 'angular2/core';
bootstrap(AppComponent, [
  ROUTER_PROVIDERS, 
  provide(APP_BASE_HREF, {useValue : '/' });
]);

< beta.17

import {APP_BASE_HREF} from 'angular2/router';

>= beta.17

import {APP_BASE_HREF} from 'angular2/platform/common';
