I've watched this clarifying keynote in which Papa Misko presents the new routing system introduced in the RC version.
It's contained in the presentation the solution for the "Last Lazy Loading Puzzle Piece", and that relies on quoting the route component name as shown in his own example:
{path: 'simple', component: SimpleCmp} // Non-lazy route
{path: 'simple', component: 'SimpleCmp'} // Lazy route
But its not working to me! The typescript compiler is complaining though. Here is the error:
Argument of type '{ path: string; component: string; }[]' is not assignable to parameter of type 'RouteMetadata[]'.
Type '{ path: string; component: string; }' is not assignable to type 'RouteMetadata'.
Types of property 'component' are incompatible.
Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'Type'.
It seems that is was not implemented yet. Does someone know what's going on and if it's really not implemented?
