Angular 2 - is base-href redundant when using HashLocationStrategy

Question

Moving from ng1 to ng2, I would like to continue using anchor hash '#' for routing.

afaik, ng2 uses default PathLocationStrategy wherein we define a <base-href="/"> which is the base path used by angular 2 router for client side routing, documented here.

Since I am using HashLocationStrategy, will there be any problems if I remove <base-href=""> from index.html? I have created a small app with following routes and it seems to be working fine.

 export const ROUTES: Routes = [{
   path: '', redirectTo: 'login', pathMatch: 'full'
  }, {
    path: 'app',  component: AppComponent
  }, {
    path: 'login', component: LoginComponent
  }, {
    path: 'error', component: ErrorComponent
  }
];

thanks,

It should be `` anyway. AFAIK you don't need it for `HashLocationStrategy` — Günter Zöchbauer, Nov 24 '16 at 10:58

If you are using useHash: true with the Approute then no need to provide base-href as it is redundant as both helps in refresh of page,but follow different concept.
