// This is a way to get best of both worlds of grouping component together | |
// into "modules" (barrels) and using standalone components! | |
// | |
// using a "barrel" export you can group together angular components so you only need to | |
// import one object | |
// | |
// a good use case for this is components that are dependent on each other or commonly used together | |
// in this example we have a table and table-sort directive bc you almost always want to be able to | |
// sort a table! | |
// | |
// however, you can also just import the table or the table-sort directive if you wanted to! | |
// | |
// FYI -- this angular library gets built with the following cmd: `yarn build-lib && yarn pack-lib` | |
// 1. export a group of components from an angular library / project / component | |
@Directive({...standalone: true...}) | |
export class OurTableSortByDirective { .. } | |
@Component({...standalone: true...}) | |
export class OurTableComponent {...} | |
// 2. THIS IS THE BARREL! | |
export const OUR_TABLE = [ | |
OurTableComponent, | |
OurTableSortByDirective | |
] as const; | |
// 3. import the barrel into the client component! | |
// some-example-component-with-tables.component.ts | |
import { | |
OUR_TABLE, | |
} from 'our-ui-library'; | |
... | |
@Component({ | |
... | |
standalone: true, | |
imports: [ | |
... | |
OUR_TABLE, | |
... | |
], | |
... | |
}) | |
export class SearchTableComponent {...} |
