ng2-module-decorator

Avoid the Angular 2 module declaration hell by providing a simple decorator.

Install

npm install ng2-module-decorator --save

Usage

First you have to apply the decorator on your class

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Module } from 'ng2-module-decorator';

@Module('mymodule')
@Component({
    selector: 'app',
    templateUrl: 'app.html'
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    constructor() { }

    ngOnInit() {

    }
}

Then in your module.ts file :

import { declarations } from 'ng2-module-decorator';
// import all the app components
import './components';

// import all the app pipes
import './pipes';

// import all the app directives
import './directives';

import { AppComponent } from './components';

@NgModule({
    providers: [
 
    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule
    ],
    declarations: [
        ...declarations['mymodule']
    ],
    bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

That's it ! All your classes will be available in the declarations dictionnary. Don't forget to import your require classes in your module file.

If you are using Webpack and, like me you are lazy, you can import a folder using require.context instead of imports all your files manually.
