Not able to pass data to angular component for angular 1.6.2

[snr-lab]

Whenever we are passing data using 'bindings' to angular component it is getting undefined.

This issue is reproducible for angular version 1.6.2 whereas it is working as expected for version 1.5.10. In my project I am also using angular-route and angular material (1.1.1).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a component
2. Inject the module
3. Pass any variable to the component
4. Do the bindings using '<'
5. The variable is getting undefined from the component.

@snrweb I guess, you stumbled upon this change: https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#breaking-changes

@snrweb Are you accessing the input binding in the constructor ? If so, you need to move this to the $onInit hook as mentioned in @healqq 's link.

It's possible to reset the preAssignBindingsEnabled value as to how it was in 1.5 (false) but be careful, it's going to get removed in future versions: #15782 so you're more future-proof by using the $onInit hook.

I'm pretty sure @frederikprijck and @healqq are right - please read the BC notes and change your code if necessary. If the problem still persists, please reopen issue with a demo.
