Answer 1

you should create a separate module for routing and add your router info in this module.

like this:

routing.module.ts file structure

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';

import { LoginComponent } from './user/login/login.component'; //your component

const routes: Routes = [
    { path: 'login', component: LoginComponent}
  ];

@NgModule({
  imports: [ RouterModule.forRoot(routes) ],
  exports: [
      RouterModule
   ] 
})
export class RoutingModule { };

import RouterModule and config your routs info then export your config (in export section of router module) for another module like app.module.

then import and inject your routing module to your base module app.module

like this:

app.module.ts file structure

import { RoutingModule } from './routing.module';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [],
  imports: [
    RoutingModule
  ],
  exports: [],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}
