Do I use routes or a directive?

[Reza Razavipour]

I have an angular 4 app, almost identical to gmail. 

A column of buttons each with a corresponding "component" to get displayed on the right of the buttons.

I used ngSwitch to do this but the component would get recreated from scratch since it was not in the DOM anymore.

That seems inefficient, is there another directive that I can use to just simply effectively change the z-order of the custom components, put the correct one on the top...

Or is it a natural fit for routing? A route for each custom component that shows up on the right side?

Thoughts or guidance?

Hi Reza,

I would say router. 

Also, you don't want your components destroyed? (router will do that too!). Why not?

destroyed would mean, recreated, data re-gotten and re-renderered, etc...

No way to avoid the the destruction and redoing the work that was done before?

Regards,
Reza

Sure there's a way. But the question is, why do you fetch the data from the _component_ each time, perhaps you can keep the data on a service and then define your triggers for refreshing the data.
