@stencil/angular-output-target

Stencil can generate Angular component wrappers for your web components. This allows your Stencil components to be used within an Angular application. The benefits of using Stencil's component wrappers over the standard web components include:

• Angular component wrappers will be detached from change detection, preventing unnecessary repaints of your web component.
• Web component events will be converted to RxJS observables to align with Angular's @Output() and will not emit across component boundaries.
• Optionally, form control web components can be used as control value accessors with Angular's reactive forms or [ngModel].

Installation

npm install @stencil/angular-output-target

Usage

In your stencil.config.ts add the following configuration to the outputTargets section:

import { Config } from '@stencil/core';
import { angularOutputTarget } from '@stencil/angular-output-target';

export const config: Config = {
  namespace: 'demo',
  outputTargets: [
    angularOutputTarget({
      componentCorePackage: 'component-library',
      directivesProxyFile: '../component-library-angular/src/directives/proxies.ts',
      directivesArrayFile: '../component-library-angular/src/directives/index.ts',
    }),
    {
      type: 'dist',
      esmLoaderPath: '../loader',
    },
  ],
};

Config Options

Property	Description
componentCorePackage	The NPM package name of your Stencil component library. This package is used as a dependency for your Angular wrappers.
directivesProxyFile	The output file of all the component wrappers generated by the output target. This file path should point to a location within your Angular library/project.
directivesArrayFile	The output file of a constant of all the generated component wrapper classes. Used for easily declaring and exporting the generated components from an NgModule. This file path should point to a location within your Angular library/project.
valueAccessorConfigs	The configuration object for how individual web components behave with Angular control value accessors.
excludeComponents	An array of tag names to exclude from generating component wrappers for. This is helpful when have a custom framework implementation of a specific component or need to extend the base component wrapper behavior.
outputType	Specifies the type of output to be generated. It can take one of the following values: 1. component: Generates all the component wrappers to be declared on an Angular module. This option is required for Stencil projects using the dist hydrated output. 2. scam: Generates a separate Angular module for each component. 3. standalone: Generates standalone component wrappers. Both scam and standalone options are compatible with the dist-custom-elements output. Note: Please choose the appropriate outputType based on your project's requirements and the desired output structure. Defaults to component.
customElementsDir	This is the directory where the custom elements are imported from when using the Custom Elements Bundle. Defaults to the components directory. Only applies for outputType: "scam" or outputType: "standalone".
inlineProperties	Experimental. When true, tries to inline the properties of components. This is required to enable Angular Language Service to type-check and show jsdocs when using the components in html-templates.
