angular-library-starter

This project is an implementation of Angular Package Format v4.0, so as to build library of components for angular applications. As a consequence, the library can be consumed in various ways, e.g. from apps using Webpack, from apps using SystemJS, from a jsfiddle, a plunkr, etc.

Features

• Generation to various module formats: FESM15, FESM5, UMD
• Type definitions
• Metadata for AOT compilation

Getting started

1. Clone the library

git clone https://github.com/michaelbazos/angular-library-starter.git

2. Install dependencies and build the library

cd angular-library-starter
npm install
npm run build

3. Add the built library as dependency to your application

From your consumer application folder:

npm install ../angular-library-starter/dist --save

Adjust the path to the dist folder accordingly.

Note 1: this installation refers to a local folder. Once you're done you should publish your library to a package manager. Note 2: Argument --save is implicit as of npm5

4. Import the library in the application

import { MylibModule } from 'mylib';
 
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    ... ,
 
    MylibModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})

export class AppModule { }

5. Use the components

<ui-dropdown></ui-dropdown>
