+## Route.pathMatch type changing from `string` `'full'|'prefix'`
+
+This migration updates the type of `Route` or `Routes` which use `patchMatch` to be
+explicit so they conform the new strict type of the property. The explicit `Route`/`Routes`
+type is necessary because otherwise TypeScript will consider the type of `pathMatch`
+to be `string`.
+
+#### Before
+```ts
+import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
+import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
+
+const routes = [{path: '', pathMatch: 'full', redirectTo: 'home'}]
+
+@NgModule({
+  imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)]
+})
+export const RoutingModule {}
+```
+
+#### After
+```ts
+import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
+import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
+
+const routes: Routes = [{path: '', pathMatch: 'full', redirectTo: 'home'}]
+
+@NgModule({
+  imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)]
+})
+export const RoutingModule {}
