I created a web application in Angular in which i have components, the login component and register component. Each time i add the element routerLink to the <a...> in order for me to navigate from one component to another, it doesn't work. It turns the text or nav item into a read-only text.
The funny thing is that if i change it from "routerLink" to "href", the text/nav item becomes active. I really don't understand why this is happening. I have followed every suggestion made in this forum similar to this but none actually work when i tried them. I also followed suggestions written on the Angular.io website. It is still the same. i also imported RouterModule into my app.module.ts. It hasn't worked as we speak. I am using Angular/CLI 12.2.0, Bootstrap 5, and Typescript 4. Below is my code

Where am i going wrong?
I don't know if it would make a difference but in my project I moved the routerLinkActive = "active" to the html li tag.
Maybe it does also work for you...
<li class="nav-item"
routerLinkActive="active">
<a
routerLink="/login"
class="nav-link"
rel="tooltip"
title=""
data-placement="bottom"
target=""
data-original-title="Log in with your credentials"
>
<i class="material-icons">fingerprint</i>Login
</a>
</li>
