 <button mat-raised-button color="primary" routerLink="/manager">Login as Manager</button>

Manager module

Since we already enabled lazy loading for ManagerModule, let's go ahead and complete the rest of the navigational elements for it.

In the current setup, ManagerHomeComponent renders in the <router-outlet> defined in app.component, so when the user navigates from HomeComponent to ManagerHomeComponent, the toolbar implemented in app.component remains a constant. If we implement a similar toolbar that persists...
