id-collection v0.0.3

IdCollection

This project was generated with Angular CLI version 6.0.8.

Note: Angular 6 must be installed on your local machine in order to build a library! To do so run the following commands in your Node Command line:

 npm uninstall -g @angular/cli 
 npm cache verify 
 npm install -g @angular/cli

Exposing the Component Api

The file public_api.ts in the folder projects/id-collection-component/src/public_api.ts is where we declare our Public Api surface - everything that's exposed outside of our component.

If we set the @Injectable({ providedIn: root }) for the likes of services, allows you to provide a service without explicitly registering it in any NgModule (useful for tree shaking if the service is never used).

Build Component

We can build a specific project within the solution with the following command:

 ng build id-collection-component

Unit Test Component

Instead of running the usual command for unit testing:

 ng test

We can now test our projects individually as follows:

 ng test id-collection-component

Publish Component

To make the library available on npm (or myGet) all you need to do is create a production build, and run npm publish command from the project’s dist directory:

 ng build id-collection-component --prod  
 cd dist/id-collection-component  
 npm publish

This can be used for testing (npm) but the Release pipeline will take care of pushing to myGet for us.
