If the URL does not match any predefined routes then it causes the router to throw an error and crash the app. In this case, the users can use wildcard route. A wildcard route has a path consisting of two asterisks to match every URL.

For example, we can define PageNotFoundComponent for wildcard route as below

{ path: '**', component: PageNotFoundComponent }
