I am using prerender.io to render angular 6 pages using headless chrome. The problem is that the renderer does not render the router links and the link information gets lost.
This is especially problematic, given that the purpose of rendering is SEO.
For example, a button with [routerLink]="previewLink", will be rendered to a button with no router link.
Here is a live example
rendered page with no links
https://prerender.io/raw-html?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fiveabook.com%2Fbooks&adaptiveType=desktop
No href and no router link in the "Preview" buttons:
<button _ngcontent-c12="" color="accent" mat-button="" tabindex="0" class="mat-button mat-accent ng-star-inserted"><span class="mat-button-wrapper">
angular page with router links

The buttons have dynamically generated router links.
Html buttons dont have a href attribute. Simply use an anchor element if you want to generate a hyperlink button.
<a mat-button [routerLink]="...">
Link
</a>
