Extending lazy-load functionality to include loading standalone components for specific routes.

[lindolo25]

Hi, This is a work in progress that I will like to present to you. It covers 3 significant changes, most of them related to the lazy-load functionality.

1. Updating loadNgModule and the related functionality to stop using @deprecated Angular APIs.
2. Creation of a new property, loadComponent, and related functionality to lazy-load standalone components.
3. Updating ui-view component to replace @deprecated Angular APIs. The APIs changes are significant as this update will make components rendered using ui-view work well with the newer input Signals.

Please let me know any feedback regarding this changes,

Thanks you all.

Has the PR for supporting lazy-loading of standalone components been merged yet? I'm on the latest version of UI-Router, but I don't see any functionality called loadComponent. When I try to use it, I get an error.

X [ERROR] TS2552: Cannot find name 'loadComponent'. Did you mean 'BlogComponent'? [plugin angular-compiler]

If the MR is open it means it hasn't been merged 😅

This would be great to get going, hopefully can start to unlock faster initial load speeds for standalone projects

Will this be a 16.1/17.0 release released at this time or will this code be released together with support for Angular 20 in June/July?

[lindolo25]

Hi @wawyed , thanks for the help with this PR. Was this change released to npm, the lastest version remains 16.0.0.

[wawyed]

Just released it @lindolo25 @Sabbacus as 16.1

I have updated our app today and no problems reported for now.
Will try standalone tomorrow.

I tried standalone in dev now.
Look like it works and it also fixes bug I had with opening in new tab.
Awesome!
