+ * means that we want to generate a link for the `Team` route with params `{teamId: 1}`,
+ * and with a child route `User` with params `{userId: 2}`.
+ *
+ * The first route name should be prepended with `/`, `./`, or `../`.
+ * If the route begins with `/`, the router will look up the route from the root of the app.
+ * If the route begins with `./`, the router will instead look in the current component's

- * The RouterLink directive lets you link to specific parts of your app.
- *
- * Consider the following route configuration:
+@Directive({selector: '[routerLink]'})
+export class RouterLink implements OnDestroy {
+  @Input() target: string;
+  private _changes: any[] = [];
+  private _subscription: any;
 
- * ```

- *   { path: '/user', component: UserCmp, as: 'User' }
- * ]);
- * class MyComp {}
- * ```
- *
- * When linking to this `User` route, you can write:
- *
- * ```
- * <a [routerLink]="['./User']">link to user component</a>
- * ```
- *
- * RouterLink expects the value to be an array of route names, followed by the params
- * for that level of routing. For instance `['/Team', {teamId: 1}, 'User', {userId: 2}]`
- * means that we want to generate a link for the `Team` route with params `{teamId: 1}`,
- * and with a child route `User` with params `{userId: 2}`.
- *
- * The first route name should be prepended with `/`, `./`, or `../`.
- * If the route begins with `/`, the router will look up the route from the root of the app.
- * If the route begins with `./`, the router will instead look in the current component's
- * children for the route. And if the route begins with `../`, the router will look at the
- * current component's parent.
