Use resolve with angularjs component

Question

I am trying to resolve a list of customers prior to rendering a page.

Here is the state provider reference, where I have the resolve methods.

angular.module('app')
  .config(($stateProvider) => {
    $stateProvider
      .state('customers', {
        url: '/customers',
        template: '<customers></customers>',
        resolve: {
          test: function () {
            return 'nihao';
          },
        },
      });
  });

Followed by the component, which should have called the #test from resolve. All it should do, is print the word 'nihao' to the console.

(function myCustomersConfig() {
  class MyCustomersComponent {
    constructor(test) {
      this.test = test;
      console.log(this.test);
    }

  angular.module('app').component('myCustomers', {
    templateUrl: 'app/customers/customers.html',
    controller: MyCustomersComponent,
  });
}());

However, I keep getting this error:

angular.js:13708 Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: testProvider <- test
http://errors.angularjs.org/1.5.7/$injector/unpr?p0=testProvider%20%3C-%20test

    at $controllerInit (angular.js:10234)
    at nodeLinkFn (angular.js:9147)

I can see that it's running the resolve functions, so that works, but it won't inject the methods! Any ideas?

Your code is missing attribute and binding in order for resolve to work.

angular.module('app')
     ...
       template: '<customers test="$resolve.test"></customers>',           
       resolve: { test: function () { return {value: 'nihao'}; } },
     ...   
  });

(function myCustomersConfig() {

   function MyCustomersComponent {
      // You can use test right away, and also view as $ctrl.test
      console.log(this.test);
   }

  angular.module('app')
    .component('myCustomers', {
       templateUrl: 'app/customers/customers.html',
       controller: MyCustomersComponent,
       bindings: {
          test: "<",
       }       
  });
}());
