All services which have to have one and only one instance per application (singleton services) should be implemented here. Typical example can be authentication service or user service.
All the “dumb” components and pipes should be implemented here. These components don’t import and inject services from core or other features in their constructors. They should receive all data though attributes in the template of the component using them. This all sums up to the fact that SharedModule doesn’t have any dependency to the rest of our application.
It is also the perfect place to import and re-export Angular Material components.
Inside src/app/features we are going to create multiple modules for every independent feature of our application. Feature modules should only import services from CoreModule. If feature module A needs to import service from feature module B consider moving that service into core.
In some cases there is a need for services which are shared only by some features and it wouldn’t make much sense to move them into core. In that case we can create special shared feature modules as described later in this post.
We should lazy load our feature modules whenever possible. Theoretically only one feature module should be loaded synchronously during the app startup to show initial content. Every other feature module should be loaded lazily after user triggered navigation.
Aliasing our app and environments folders will enable us to implement clean imports which will be consistent throughout our application.
import { DummyService } from '@app/core';
If a new service is added to the core module, remember to export it in the index.ts of the module:
export * from './services/dummy.service';
This project was generated with Angular CLI version 1.7.1.
Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module.
Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the -prod flag for a production build.
Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.
Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor.
