Modules can be nested by using the imports
parameter of @NgModule
decorator.
We can create a core.module
in our application that will contain generic things, like a ReservePipe
(a pipe that reverse a string) and bundle those in this module:
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { ReversePipe } from '../reverse.pipe';
@NgModule({
imports: [
CommonModule
],
exports: [ReversePipe], // export things to be imported in another module
declarations: [ReversePipe],
})
export class CoreModule { }
Then in the app.module
:
import { CoreModule } from 'app/core/core.module';
@NgModule({
declarations: [...], // ReversePipe is available without declaring here
// because CoreModule exports it
imports: [
CoreModule, // import things from CoreModule
...
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
