| # loopback_resolver |
| |
| The loopback resolver is a trivial [component resolver](resolver) that proxies |
| a `Resolver` request to its incoming `fuchsia.component.resolution/Resolver` |
| protocol. |
| |
| This is useful if you want to transform a |
| `fuchsia.component.resolution/Resolver` [`protocol`](capability-protocol) |
| capability into a [`resolver`](capability-resolver) capability. It can also be |
| used to break a cycle that would occur if you assigned a `resolver` to a child |
| environment directly, by adding the `loopback_resolver` as a child component |
| and feeding it the `fuchsia.component.resolution/Resolver` which was offered as |
| `weak` by the parent. However, this should be done with caution since once the |
| source resolve is shutdown (during system shutdown, for instance) further |
| attempts to resolve components backed by the `loopback_resolver` will fail. |
