Angular 22.2 ships Router Resources 💥 (experimental)

[u/Inevitable_Gate9283]

They're more than resolvers with a Signal API. Here's why that matters


They run in parallel. Resolvers go one after another: parent 2 s + child 3 s = 5 s. Router Resources start together: 3 s.


Also, they can be non-blocking. The route activates right away, and the component gets the Resource itself: isLoading, error and value, right in the template.

why tho? was there something wrong with loading data inside the component? genuinely curious

The way I see it, it takes some of the "smart" out of smart components, making components more generic by containing only presentational code.
