Environment
Provide version numbers for the following components (information can be retrieved by running tns info in your project folder or by inspecting the package.json of the project):

  • NativeScript-Angular: 16
  • Angular: 16

Describe the bug

In angular 16, you can add bindToComponentInputs to Angular's Router Module imports: [NativeScriptRouterModule.forRoot(routes, { bindToComponentInputs: true })], to automatically populate @Input() properties in the component. Doing so in Nativescript—Angular warns the dev
CONSOLE WARN: 'withComponentInputBinding' feature is enabled but this application is using an outlet that may not support binding to component inputs.

To Reproduce

Add bindToComponentInputs: true to the forRoot function's 2nd parameter config object.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

@NgModule({
  imports: [NativeScriptRouterModule.forRoot(routes, { bindToComponentInputs: true })],
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}

export const testPageRoute: Route = {
  path: ':page',
  component: TestComponent ,
  data: {'test': 'test-text'}
};

import { Component, Input, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
  selector: 'test-component',
  templateUrl: './test-component.html',
})
export class TestComponent implements OnInit {
  @Input() public test;

  public ngOnInit(): void {
    console.log(this.test); // should populate with 'test-text'
  }
}

Expected behavior
this.test should populate with the data from the route without having to query in the OnInit lifecycle.
