How to Make Your Angular Module Reusable: A Step-by-Step Guide

Angular is a powerful framework that allows developers to create complex applications. However, sometimes you may find yourself wanting to reuse certain modules across different projects. In this guide, we'll tackle the question of how to make a specific module, such as the Intext Module, reusable in Angular 13.

Introduction to the Problem

You've created a module in your Angular 13 project, but now you want to use that same module in other projects without duplicating code. This is common in software development, where reusability is key for maintaining efficient workflows and clean code.

In this case, we have an Angular module called Intext Module that needs to be extracted from its current project and transformed into a reusable library. The goal is to make this module accessible for use in multiple Angular applications.

Solution: Creating a Reusable Angular Module

To achieve our goal of reusability, follow these organized steps to create an Angular library that can be imported into other projects.

Step 1: Create a New Library

Set Up a New Repository:

Create a new repository in Bitbucket (or any other version control system of your choice) to host the library.

Generate a Library Using Angular CLI:

Use Angular’s command line interface to create a library. You can do this by running:

Step 2: Transfer Your Module Code

Move Your Module Files:

Copy the code for the Intext Module from your existing project to the newly created library. Ensure all necessary files, including components, services, and styles, are included.

Update Library Module:

Modify the newly generated module file in your library to export the components and services that you need.

Step 3: Build the Library

Build the Library:

To prepare your library for use, run the following command in your library project’s directory:

This packs your module for distribution, making it ready to be installed in other projects.

Step 4: Install the Library in Other Projects

Publish Your Library:

If you want to share it publicly or within your organization, consider publishing your library to a package registry like npm or a private npm server.

Install the Library:

Add your library to the required Angular projects by running the command (replace [your-library] with the actual path or package name):

Step 5: Use the Library in Other Angular Applications

Import the Module:

In your target projects, do not forget to import the Intext Module into your application module as follows:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can successfully transform the Intext Module into a reusable Angular library. This not only saves time by avoiding code duplication but also enhances the maintainability of your code. With your library hosted on a version control system like Bitbucket, you can easily update and share it among different projects.

Remember, modularity and reusability are critical to efficient development, especially in projects that may grow and evolve over time.

Now go ahead and make your Angular components reusable!
