It’s often easier to build out your navigation dynamically so that you have programmatic control of which navigation elements appear (and those which don’t). You can leverage the power of Angular’s *ngFor directive to build out navigation based on any set of data you provide with urls.

After all I thing we don't need [routerLink]. It is working like blove. We don't need "[ ]" at all.

<a *ngFor="let nav of navs" routerLink="{{nav.url}}" routerLinkActive="active" [routerLinkActiveOptions]="{exact:true}">{{ nav.content }}</a>

From what I understand [attribute]="value" === attribute="{{}}", I prefer reading the first one though. Less noise.
