Is it possible to prevent the destruction of Angular components when navigating?

Assuming I have two Angular 2 components: ComponentA and ComponentB. I want to be able to navigate from ComponentA to ComponentB and then eventually back to ComponentA, while not having to reinitialize ComponentA.

In the current Angular 2 Router implementation, every time I navigate away from a component, the component gets destroyed and has to be recreated the next time I navigate to it.

I know that I can preserve the state of components by using a Service, but this seems to be more like a workaround than an actual solution to my issue. Is there any way around this?

Yes, it is, you need to implement RouteReuseStrategy.

and define a behavior for routes that reuse components.
