Why am I getting 'router-outlet' is not a known element error in my Angular application?

Are you encountering the error 'router-outlet is not a known element' in your Angular application? This issue can be quite perplexing, but the solution is often straightforward. Let's delve into the possible causes and fixes.

This typically occurs under specific conditions, all related to the correct inclusion of router components and modules.

Common Causes and Fixes

Missing Import of RouterModule

In most cases, this error occurs because the RouterModule is not imported in the module where the router-outlet is being used. Angular needs this module to properly interpret and handle routing directives.

Solution: Ensure you import RouterModule in your module file (usually app.module.ts or a feature module).
