Enhancing Angular Apps with Module-Based Styling

When developing an Angular application that includes multiple modules, developers often face the dilemma of managing CSS styles. In particular, if your application configuration involves a public website and an admin panel, issues can arise when styles from one module unintentionally affect the other. This guide will guide you through the implementation of module-based styling in Angular, helping you avoid CSS conflicts and ensuring a seamless user experience.

The Problem: CSS Conflicts in Angular

In a scenario where an Angular app has two distinct modules—public website and admin panel—each utilizing different styles, it can be challenging to keep those styles separate. Here are the key points regarding the issue you might encounter:

Multiple Layouts: Each module has its own associated layout and design system.

CSS Files: The public website leverages Bootstrap, while the admin panel uses a specialized Angular theme.

Global Styles: When you import both CSS files globally in the angular.json configuration file, styles from one module can inadvertently override styles from the other module.

Problems with Disabling Styles: Attempting to manage styles by disabling them in ngOnInit often leads to further issues, such as initial pages loading without any styles, necessitating a page refresh.

Clearly, a more efficient solution is required to manage styles effectively in Angular.

The Solution: Importing CSS in Layout Components

Fortunately, there is a straightforward method to resolve this styling conflict by leveraging the component's styles. Below are the steps to accomplish this:

Step 1: Structure Your CSS Files

Ensure that you have separate CSS or SCSS files for your public website and your admin panel. For example:

public-website.component.scss

admin-panel.component.scss

Step 2: Import Target CSS Files in Component Styles

Instead of importing your CSS files into angular.json, do the following:

Open the specific layout component SCSS file for the public website (e.g., public-website.component.scss) and import the necessary styles directly:

Repeat the process for the admin panel layout component styles (e.g., admin-panel.component.scss):

Benefits of This Approach:

Isolation: Each module's styles are loaded only when that module is active, preventing overlap and conflicts.

Performance: Reduces redundancy and unused styles, enhancing performance.

Ease of Maintenance: Changes in one module's styles will not impact the other, making it easier to manage.

Conclusion

By utilizing module-based styling, you can effectively manage CSS conflicts in your Angular applications. By importing styles within the specific layout components, you ensure that each module maintains its styling integrity without interference from others. This approach not only resolves the immediate problem but also lays a solid foundation for maintaining a well-structured Angular application in the future.
