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

import { HomeComponent } from './components/home/home.component';
import { AboutUsComponent } from './components/aboutus/aboutus.component';
import { Menu1AboutUsComponent } from './components/aboutus/components/menu1/menu1.aboutus.component';
import { Menu2AboutUsComponent } from './components/aboutus/components/menu2/menu2.aboutus.component';
import { NewsComponent } from './components/news/news.component';

const routes: Routes = [
	{ path: '', component: HomeComponent },
	{ path: 'home', component: HomeComponent },
	{ path: 'aboutus', component: AboutUsComponent,
		children: [
			{ path: '', redirectTo: 'home', pathMatch: 'full' },
			{ path: 'about-us-menu-1', component: Menu1AboutUsComponent },
			{ path: 'about-us-menu-2', component: Menu2AboutUsComponent }
		]
	},
	{ path: 'news', component: NewsComponent },
	{ path: '**', redirectTo: '' }

In app.module.ts file in src\app folder. Add components and routing to module

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { HomeComponent } from './components/home/home.component';
import { AboutUsComponent } from './components/aboutus/aboutus.component';
import { Menu1AboutUsComponent } from './components/aboutus/components/menu1/menu1.aboutus.component';
import { Menu2AboutUsComponent } from './components/aboutus/components/menu2/menu2.aboutus.component';
import { NewsComponent } from './components/news/news.component';

import { routing } from './app.routing';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    HomeComponent,
    AboutUsComponent,
    Menu1AboutUsComponent,
    Menu2AboutUsComponent,
    NewsComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule,
    ReactiveFormsModule,
    routing
  ],
  providers: [
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})

export class AppModule { }

In Terminal windows in Visual Studio Code and type: ng serve –open, program will open url http://localhost:4200/ on browser
