Why do I need to ROUTER_PROVIDERS to boot.ts? about angular2-course HOT 2 OPEN

I think you are confusing ROUTER_PROVIDERS and ROUTER_DIRECTIVES. If I understand it correctly, ROUTER_PROVIDERS initializes navigation between pages (which is required once in boot.ts), and ROUTER_DIRECTIVES is used anytime you would use RouterLink or RouterOutlet.

Yeah, it's a pain. But there seem to be some work arounds:

Obviously adding it everytime you're using either of one of them is annoying, so you can make it simpler by using PLATFORM_DIRECTIVES. This way you'll add it once in your application and it will be available across of it.

bootstrap(App, [
    provide(PLATFORM_DIRECTIVES, {useValue: [ROUTER_DIRECTIVES], multi: true})
]);

It appears that this may become a thing built right into Angular:
