Support Angular 16's new component route data binding #114
Description
Environment
Provide version numbers for the following components (information can be retrieved by running tns info in your project folder or by inspecting the package.json of the project):
- NativeScript-Angular: 16
- Angular: 16
Describe the bug
In angular 16, you can add bindToComponentInputs to Angular's Router Module imports: [NativeScriptRouterModule.forRoot(routes, { bindToComponentInputs: true })], to automatically populate @Input() properties in the component. Doing so in Nativescript—Angular warns the dev
CONSOLE WARN: 'withComponentInputBinding' feature is enabled but this application is using an outlet that may not support binding to component inputs.
To Reproduce
Add bindToComponentInputs: true to the forRoot function's 2nd parameter config object.
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
@NgModule({
imports: [NativeScriptRouterModule.forRoot(routes, { bindToComponentInputs: true })],
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}
export const testPageRoute: Route = {
path: ':page',
component: TestComponent ,
data: {'test': 'test-text'}
};
import { Component, Input, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'test-component',
templateUrl: './test-component.html',
})
export class TestComponent implements OnInit {
@Input() public test;
public ngOnInit(): void {
console.log(this.test); // should populate with 'test-text'
}
}Expected behavior
this.test should populate with the data from the route without having to query in the OnInit lifecycle.

@NathanWalker, when do you think this will be implemented? We really need this because the code is much shorter with
bindToComponentInputs/withComponentInputBinding.JakeAi commentedon Oct 6, 2025
Looks like someone added support a while ago so it should be super easy to actually implement.
#141

I'll try to review and merge that this week, sorry for the delay

That would be awesome! But I wonder how much it's changed since V16 to V20.
