To make one, enter the following command in the terminal, where `customers` is the name of the feature module. The path for loading the `customers` feature modules is also `customers` because it is specified with the `--route` option:

This creates a `customers` folder with the new lazy-loadable module `CustomersModule` defined in the `customers.module.ts` file. The command automatically declares the `CustomersComponent` inside the new feature module.

Because the new module is meant to be lazy-loaded, the command does NOT add a reference for the new feature module to the root application's module file, `app.module.ts`.

Instead, it adds the declared route, `customer-list` to the `Routes` array declared in the module provided as the `--module` option.

The `customers.module.ts` file imports the `CustomersRoutingModule` and `CustomerListComponent` so the `CustomersModule` class can have access to them. `CustomersRoutingModule` is then listed in the `@NgModule` `imports` array giving `CustomersModule` access to its own routing module, and `CustomerListComponent` is in the `declarations` array, which means `CustomerListComponent` belongs to the `CustomersModule`.

The `customers.module.ts` file imports the `customers-routing.module.ts` and `customers.component.ts` files. `CustomersRoutingModule` is listed in the `@NgModule` `imports` array giving `CustomersModule` access to its own routing module. `CustomersComponent` is in the `declarations` array, which means `CustomersComponent` belongs to the `CustomersModule`.

The feature module has its own routing module, `customers-routing.module.ts`. The `AppRoutingModule` imports the feature module, `CustomersModule`, and `CustomersModule` in turn imports the `CustomersRoutingModule`.

The `app-routing.module.ts` then imports the feature module, `customers.module.ts` using JavaScript's dynamic import.

The feature-specific routing module imports its own feature component, `CustomerListComponent`, along with the other JavaScript import statements. It also adds the route to its own component.

The feature-specific route definition file—`customers-routing.module.ts`—imports its own feature component defined in the `customers.componen.ts` file, along with the other JavaScript import statements. It then maps the empty path to the `CustomersComponent`.

## `forRoot()` and `forChild()`
|
||||
|
||||
You might have noticed that the CLI adds `RouterModule.forRoot(routes)` to the `app-routing.module.ts` `imports` array.
|
||||
This lets Angular know that this module, `AppRoutingModule`, is a routing module and `forRoot()` specifies that this is the root routing module.
|
||||
It configures all the routes you pass to it, gives you access to the router directives, and registers the `RouterService`.

Use `forRoot()` in the `AppRoutingModule`—that is, one time in the app at the root level.

|
||||
Use `forRoot()` only once in the application, inside the `AppRoutingModule`.
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI also adds `RouterModule.forChild(routes)` to feature routing modules.
|
||||
This way, Angular knows that the route list is only responsible for providing additional routes and is intended for feature modules.
