Angular - Add local external Module to App












1















I have a project my-components and a project my-showcase. my-components is an Angular library and my-showcase is an Angular app. At time, when I change or add an component in library, I make a commit to private git and publish to private npm. Then I can use it in other apps like my-showcase. Before commit and publish I would test it. Until now, I create and develop a new component in my-showcase. After finish, I put it to my-components.



At time I import my angular component library over npm:



import {TimePickerModule} from '@company/components';


For testing and development I change this to local path:



import {TimePickerModule} from '../../../../company-components/projects/components/src';


Unfortunately, I get the following error message:



WARNING in ../company-components/node_modules/@angular/core/fesm5/core.js 15153:15-36
Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression


And:



core.js:12584 ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: StaticInjectorError(AppModule)[DcStickyBitsDirective -> ElementRef]:
StaticInjectorError(Platform: core)[DcStickyBitsDirective -> ElementRef]:
NullInjectorError: No provider for ElementRef!


Apparently the component from the library in app my-showcase use the wrong node_module folder from my-components (specially @angular/core), not the node_module folder from my-showcase.



Does anyone have a solution for me or have I a wrong understanding when dealing with Angular Library and NPM? If it was too incomprehensible, please let me know.

          I have a workaround. I add following to tsconfig.json:



          "@company/components": [
          "../path/to/projects/components/src"
          ],

          "@angular/*": [
          "node_modules/@angular/*"
          ]


          But I don't find this solution very clean. If I understand correctly, the problem is that Webpack takes the Angular stuff from the component library and not from the showcase project. With this workaround, it override the wrong paths.

            I have a workaround. I add following to tsconfig.json:



            "@company/components": [
            "../path/to/projects/components/src"
            ],

            "@angular/*": [
            "node_modules/@angular/*"
            ]


            But I don't find this solution very clean. If I understand correctly, the problem is that Webpack takes the Angular stuff from the component library and not from the showcase project. With this workaround, it override the wrong paths.
