Hi,

A resolver is a service that implements Resolve<T> and pre-fetches data before the route activates.
The resolved data is then available via ActivatedRoute in your component.

This is perfect for @Input() bindings, because you can ensure the input has data immediately when the component is rendered.

Create a Resolver

// date.resolver.ts
import { Injectable } from ‘@angular/core’;
import { Resolve } from ‘@angular/router’;
import { Observable, of } from ‘rxjs’;
import { DateService } from ‘./date.service’;

@Injectable({ providedIn: ‘root’ })
export class DateResolver implements Resolve<Date> {
constructor(private dateService: DateService) {}

resolve(): Observable<Date> {
// Simulate API call or fetch default date
return this.dateService.getDefaultDate();
}
}

Attach Resolver to Route

// app-routing.module.ts
import { NgModule } from ‘@angular/core’;
import { RouterModule, Routes } from ‘@angular/router’;
import { DateInputPageComponent } from ‘./date-input-page/date-input-page.component’;
import { DateResolver } from ‘./date.resolver’;

const routes: Routes = [
{
path: ‘date-input’,
component: DateInputPageComponent,
resolve: { defaultDate: DateResolver } // key = ‘defaultDate’
}
];

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

// date-input-page.component.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from ‘@angular/core’;
import { ActivatedRoute } from ‘@angular/router’;

@Component({
selector: ‘app-date-input-page’,
template: `
<smart-date-input [value]=”preloadedDate”></smart-date-input>
`
})
export class DateInputPageComponent implements OnInit {
preloadedDate!: Date;

constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {}

ngOnInit(): void {
this.preloadedDate = this.route.snapshot.data[‘defaultDate’];
}
}

In general:

[value] binds the preloaded date to the Smart.DateInput.
Resolver ensures the data is ready before component initialization, so the date input is populated immediately.

Hope this helps.
