Angular Library Example

This is an example for how to build an Angular library from mid 2017 for currently Angular 4 (works just as well with Angular 2).

Tutorial

It's probably best if you read the short tutorial first at: http://how-to-write-a-typescript-library.com/angular2

because there's nothing magical about this and you could just as well use the AngularCli. That's how I usually do it, I just follow the steps in the tutorial and don't download this library-starter, but it's really up to you. Anyways, you'll understand this source code much better once you read the tutorial!

Installation

git clone https://github.com/bersling/angular-library-example
cd angular-library-example
yarn install # or, if you don't have yarn, npm install

Usage

From the root of the project run

ng serve

The actual library module is in src/app/libex the app module is just a testing ground which won't get published to npm. That's why the libex directory has it's own package.json!

So for development implement your library in libex and test your library by using it in the app module! Since it's a project launched with Angular Cli you get all the benefits from hot reloading etc!
