Custom Angular Library Import multiple Modules not barrel

Question

Hi I am trying to build a custom Angular Library. Using yeoman-generator ( link ) I get a template to build upon, that works just fine. The problem is that it uses a (not anymore best practice) barrel index.ts , and what I want is to be able to have one module per component and import accordingly.

Answer 1

In case someone faces the same problem, here is how my files are now structured and connected:

I have a component with the desired functionality HelloWorld

Then a module for this component:

import { NgModule, ModuleWithProviders } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { HelloWorld } from './hello-world.component';

export * from './hello-world.component';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    CommonModule
  ],
  declarations: [
    HelloWorld,
  ],
  exports: [
    HelloWorld,
  ]
})
export class HelloWorldModule {}

And finally inside the index.ts file is only this line:

export * from './hello-world.module';

To use in the projects the app.module.ts import is:

import { HelloWorldModule } from 'test-lib'

and also add HelloWorldModule to the imports array.
