How to unit test a component that depends on parameters from ActivatedRoute?

Question

I am unit testing a component that is used to edit an object. The object has an unique id that is used in order to grab the specific object from an array of obj

Answer 1

Just add a mock of the ActivatedRoute:

providers: [
  { provide: ActivatedRoute, useClass: MockActivatedRoute }
]

...

class MockActivatedRoute {
  // here you can add your mock objects, like snapshot or parent or whatever
  // example:
  parent = {
    snapshot: {data: {title: 'myTitle ' } },
    routeConfig: { children: { filter: () => {} } }
  };
}
