Is there any way to Use PathLocationStrategy and HashLocationStartegy in angular in a single project at a time?

Yes, it is possible to use both the PathLocationStrategy and HashLocationStrategy in a single Angular project at the same time.

The PathLocationStrategy and HashLocationStrategy are two different ways of managing the URLs in an Angular application. The PathLocationStrategy uses the path portion of the URL to represent the application's state, while the HashLocationStrategy uses the hash fragment of the URL to represent the application's state.

You can use both strategies in a single project by configuring your application to use one strategy for some routes and the other strategy for other routes. This is accomplished using the RouterModule and the ExtraOptions interface, which allows you to specify different URL-handling strategies for different routes in your application.

Here is an example of how you might configure your application to use both the PathLocationStrategy and HashLocationStrategy in a single project:

import { RouterModule, ExtraOptions } from '@angular/router';

const routes = [
  // Routes that use the PathLocationStrategy
  { path: 'path-route1', component: PathRoute1Component, useHash: false },
  { path: 'path-route2', component: PathRoute2Component, useHash: false },

  // Routes that use the HashLocationStrategy
  { path: 'hash-route1', component: HashRoute1Component, useHash: true },
  { path: 'hash-route2', component: HashRoute2Component, useHash: true },
];

const routerOptions: ExtraOptions = {
  useHash: false, // Use the PathLocationStrategy by default
};

@NgModule({
  imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes, routerOptions)],
  exports: [RouterModule],
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}

In this example, the routes array defines four different routes in the application, two of which use the PathLocationStrategy and two of which use the HashLocationStrategy. The useHash property is used to specify which strategy each route should use, and the default strategy is set to PathLocationStrategy using the routerOptions object.

When the application is run, the URLs for the routes that use the PathLocationStrategy will be in the form http://<host>/path-route1, while the URLs for the routes that use the HashLocationStrategy will be in the form http://<host>#hash-route1. This allows you to use both strategies in a single project and manage the URLs for different routes in different ways.
