It has a great deal of useful information including:

### Navigate to hero detail imperatively
Users *will not* navigate to the detail component by clicking a link
so you won't add a new `RouterLink` anchor tag to the shell.
Instead, when the user *clicks* a hero in the list, you'll ask the router
to navigate to the hero detail view for the selected hero.
Start in the `HeroListComponent`.
Revise its constructor so that it acquires the `Router` and the `HeroService` by dependency injection:
<code-example path="router/src/app/heroes/hero-list.component.1.ts" linenums="false" title="src/app/heroes/hero-list.component.ts (constructor)" region="ctor">

<code-example path="router/src/app/heroes/hero-list.component.1.ts" linenums="false" title="src/app/heroes/hero-list.component.ts (template)" region="template">
</code-example>
The template defines an `*ngFor` repeater such as [you've seen before](guide/displaying-data#ngFor).
There's a `(click)` [event binding](guide/template-syntax#event-binding) to the component's
`onSelect` method which you implement as follows:
<code-example path="router/src/app/heroes/hero-list.component.1.ts" linenums="false" title="src/app/heroes/hero-list.component.ts (select)" region="select">
</code-example>
The component's `onSelect` calls the router's **`navigate`** method with a _link parameters array_.
You can use this same syntax in a `RouterLink` if you decide later to navigate in HTML template rather than in component code.

Your subscription wants the `Hero`, not an `Observable<Hero>`.
So you flatten the `Observable` with the `switchMap` operator instead.
The `switchMap` operator also cancels previous in-flight requests. If the user re-navigates to this route
with a new `id` while the `HeroService` is still retrieving the old `id`, `switchMap` discards that old request and returns the hero for the new `id`.
Finally, you activate the observable with `subscribe` method and (re)set the component's `hero` property with the retrieved hero.

{@a redirect-advanced}
## Migrating URLs with Redirects
You've setup the routes for navigating around your application. You've used navigation imperatively and declaratively to many different routes. But like any application, requirements change over time. You've setup links and navigation to `/heroes` and `/hero/:id` from the `HeroListComponent` and `HeroDetailComponent` components. If there was a requirement that links to `heroes` become `superheroes`, you still want the previous URLs to navigate correctly. You also don't want to go and update every link in your application, so redirects makes refactoring routes trivial.
{@a url-refactor}
### Changing /heroes to /superheroes
Let's take the `Hero` routes and migrate them to new URLs. The `Router` checks for redirects in your configuration before navigating, so each redirect is triggered when needed. To support this change, you'll add redirects from the old routes to the new routes in the `heroes-routing.module`.
<code-example path="router/src/app/heroes/heroes-routing.module.ts" linenums="false" title="src/app/heroes/heroes-routing.module.ts (heroes redirects)">
</code-example>
You'll notice two different types of redirects. The first change is from `/heroes` to `/superheroes` without any parameters. This is a straightforward redirect, unlike the change from `/hero/:id` to `/superhero/:id`, which includes the `:id` route parameter. Router redirects also use powerful pattern matching, so the `Router` inspects the URL and replaces route parameters in the `path` with their appropriate destination. Previously, you navigated to a URL such as `/hero/15` with a route parameter `id` of `15`.
<div class="l-sub-section">
The `Router` also supports [query parameters](#query-parameters) and the [fragment](#fragment) when using redirects.
* When using absolute redirects, the `Router` will use the query parameters and the fragment from the redirectTo in the route config.
* When using relative redirects, the `Router` use the query params and the fragment from the source URL.
</div>
Before updating the `app-routing.module.ts`, you'll need to consider an important rule. Currently, our empty path route redirects to `/heroes`, which redirects to `/superheroes`. This _won't_ work and is by design as the `Router` handles redirects once at each level of routing configuration. This prevents chaining of redirects, which can lead to endless redirect loops.
So instead, you'll update the empty path route in `app-routing.module.ts` to redirect to `/superheroes`.
<code-example path="router/src/app/app-routing.module.ts" linenums="false" title="src/app/app-routing.module.ts (superheroes redirect)">
</code-example>
Since `RouterLink`s aren't tied to route configuration, you'll need to update the associated router links so they remain active when the new route is active. You'll update the `app.component.ts` template for the `/heroes` routerLink.
<code-example path="router/src/app/app.component.ts" linenums="false" title="src/app/app.component.ts (superheroes active routerLink)">
</code-example>
With the redirects setup, all previous routes now point to their new destinations and both URLs still function as intended.
