 #### RouteResolver
 
-A RouterResolver is an object that contains an `onmatch` method and/or a `render` method. Both methods are optional, but at least one must be present.
+A RouterResolver is an object that contains an `onmatch` method and/or a `render` method. Both methods are optional, but at least one must be present. A RouteResolver is not a component, and therefore it does NOT have lifecycle methods. As a rule of thumb, RouteResolvers should be in the same file as the `m.route` call, whereas component definitions should be in their own modules.
 
 `routeResolver = {onmatch, render}`
