How to Properly Declare Components in Angular Feature Modules

When building Angular applications, we often face the challenge of sharing components across multiple feature modules. If you’ve ever encountered issues like "component cannot be found," or class declaration errors, you’re not alone. This post will guide you through the best practices for declaring and importing components properly among feature modules in Angular.

The Problem

In the scenario presented, you have a main module, admin, which includes three feature modules: first, second, and another. There is a specific component you need to use in both the first and second modules. However, importing this component directly in the modules resulted in various errors. These included messages stating that the component could not be found or was not listed correctly as a directive, component, or pipe.

This raises the question: How should one go about importing a component so that it works seamlessly across feature modules?

The Solution

To resolve the issue of sharing components across feature modules without causing conflicts or errors, follow these organized steps:

Step 1: Create a Shared Module

Start by creating a new module specifically designated for shared components, often referred to as a SharedModule. This module will handle all the components, directives, and pipes that are meant to be reused across multiple modules.

Step 2: Declare and Export Components

Within your SharedModule, declare your shared components in the declarations array. Additionally, ensure that these components are also exported in the exports array. This permits other modules to access them. Here’s an example structure:

Step 3: Import the Shared Module in Feature Modules

Now that you have a dedicated SharedModule for your components, the final step is to import this module into any feature modules that require access to the shared components. For example, in your first.module.ts and second.module.ts, make sure to include the shared module like this:

Understanding the Errors

Error Resolution

Component Not Found: If you tried importing the component directly into first.module and second.module, you might receive errors indicating the component cannot be found. By using a SharedModule, you eliminate this issue as you're centralizing access through a common module.

Declaration Errors: The issue stating that the class is "listed in the declarations but is not a directive, a component, or a pipe" occurs when a component is defined multiple times in different modules. By leveraging a SharedModule, you ensure that components are declared only once, averting such potential conflicts.

Conclusion

Sharing components across feature modules in Angular doesn't have to be a complex task. By implementing a SharedModule, you provide a clean and organized way to handle components, making them reusable throughout your application while avoiding common pitfalls. This method not only streamlines your code but also enhances maintainability as your application scales.

By following these steps, you can confidently declare and utilize components in your Angular application without encountering the frustrating errors that often arise from improper declarations. Happy coding!
