🆖 Angular Dynamic Compile - Convert strings to Angular components v2024.10.104

Bugs are evident™ - MATRIX️

NodeJS LTS is supported

Built on NodeJs version

v22.3.0

Built on Angular

18.0.5

Description

WARNING

Angular has changed, so it stricts many things for dynamic compilation. The only solution right now, is to simple copy the code into your code and it will work (like on https://angular-compile.corifeus.com/).

The code you just copy into your project is here:
https://github.com/patrikx3/angular-compile/tree/master/projects/angular-compile/src/lib

The package on the NPM is the pure TypeScript code. Not built using Angular.

Use case

Dynamically compile standard strings to fully functional Angular components. Supports imports, exports, and standard context.

Install

npm install --save p3x-angular-compile
# or
yarn add p3x-angular-compile

IMPORTANT

Make sure AOT is disabled in the angular.json:

{ 
    "architect": {
        "build": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser",
          "options": {
            "outputPath": "dist/workspace",
            "index": "src/index.html",
            "main": "src/main.ts",
            "polyfills": "src/polyfills.ts",
            "tsConfig": "tsconfig.app.json",
            
            // make sure it is false
            "aot": false,

            "assets": [
              "src/favicon.ico",
              "src/assets"
            ],
            "styles": [

            ],

          }
    }
}

Minimum build requirement arguments

Usage

import { CompileModule} from "p3x-angular-compile"

// the module settings
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        CorifeusWebMaterialModule, // Optional
        CompileModule, // Required
    ],
    declarations: [
        Page,
    ],
    providers: [
    ],
    bootstrap: [ Page ]
})
export class Module { };

Template

 <span 
 
 <!--- Not required -->
 *ngIf="isEnabled" 

 <!--- Required -->
 [p3x-compile]="template"

 <!--- Required -->
 [p3x-compile-ctx]="this"

 <!--- Not required, will just throw the component's exception if not provided -->
 [p3x-compile-error-handler]="handleCompileErrorHandler"

 <!--- Not required -->
 [p3x-compile-module]="dataModule"
 >     
</span>

Code

// A page example
export class Page {
    
    isEnabled: boolean = true;
    
    dataModule : any =  {
        //schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA],
        //declarations: [],
        imports: [
            MatButtonModule
        ],
        exports: [       
        ]
    }

    template: string = "<button mat-button mat-raised-button (click)="context.alert()">Dynamic template</button>";

    handleCompileErrorHandler(error: Error) {
        console.error(error)
    }

    alert() {
        alert('ok');
    }
}

Errors

Type x is part of the declarations of 2 modules

Basically, you need a shared component.

AOT + JIT

Since Angular 5.x.x +

We cannot use AOT + JIT at once.

Info

On the issue, you can see:

To reduce the payload, we do not ship the compiler in AOT.

So right now, it is not possible.

Although, there are some hacks, but you are on your own...
