users.component.ts

import {component} '@angular/core'; import 'rxjs/add/operator/map'; import {http} '@angular/http'; import {userservice} './users.service';  @component({ selector: 'user', template: ` <div class="container">   <h1>users</h1> <h2><a routerlink="adduser"><button class="btn btn-primary">add user</button></a></h2>   <table class="table table-bordered">     <thead>       <tr>         <th>firstname</th>         <th>email</th>         <th>edit</th>         <th>delete</th>       </tr>     </thead>     <tbody *ngfor="let user of _users">       <tr>         <td>{{user.name}}</td>         <td>{{user.email}}</td>         <td><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-edit"></i></td>             <td><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove"></i></td>       </tr>      </tbody>   </table> </div> `, providers: [userservice]  })   export class userscomponent{   private _users; constructor(private _userservice:userservice){ this._userservice.getusers() .subscribe(res => { this._users = res;  })  }   } 

app.router.ts

import {modulewithproviders} '@angular/core'; import {routes, routermodule} '@angular/router'; import {formcomponent} './form/form.component'; import {userscomponent} './users.component';  export const router: routes = [    {path: 'user', component: userscomponent}, {path: 'adduser', component: formcomponent}  ];  export const routes: modulewithproviders = routermodule.forroot(router); 

it not seem valid html nest button under a tag.

see here.

this reason, try removing button , use ordinary a tag , see if works you. maybe button click works a not "clicked" in case , nothing happens.
