loadChildren needs to reference module with routing

By assigning a value to loadChildren property inside a route, you have to reference a module, which has a routing system implemented. In other words reference only a module that imports RoutingModule and configures it with forChild(routes) method.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
// import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
/* ---------------  !System modules  --------------- */

import { SharedModule } from 'sharedModule';   //There is  a lot of shared components/directives/pipes (over 60) and it re-exports CommonModule so I can't avoid it
/* ---------------  !App outer modules  --------------- */


import { EncountersComponent } from './encounters.component';
// import { PassCodeComponent } from '../../shared/components/passcode/passcode.component';

export const encountersModuleRoutes: Routes = [
  /* configure routes here */
];


@NgModule({
  imports: [ SharedModule, RouterModule.forChild(encountersModuleRoutes) ],
  declarations: [ EncountersComponent],
  exports: [ EncountersComponent ],
})


export class EncountersModule {  }
