Resolving the Kitchen Sink Angular Material Library Template Compile Error

Are you facing a compile error while creating an Angular Material library template? You're not alone! Many developers encounter this issue when trying to streamline the use of Angular Material components in their projects. In this guide, we'll break down the problem and provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to fix it effectively.

Understanding the Problem

The problem arises when developers attempt to create a library that encapsulates all Angular Material modules for easy installation during prototyping. Ideally, this library should be easily added to any Angular application using NPM without having to copy-paste modules into each project.

In your case, you've reported encountering compile errors related to NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR, which stem from how Angular, TypeScript, and decorators interact in the library's context.

Common Errors

You may see messages like:

This indicates a problem where Angular evaluates certain elements during compilation, leading to an incomplete understanding of dependencies and components.

The Solution

Here's the way to solve this issue and ensure your Angular Material library functions smoothly:

Step 1: Initialize Your Workspace

You probably already did this step, but let’s go through it to ensure everything is set up correctly:

Create a new workspace:

Step 2: Create the Material Module

You've already added an Angular Material module as demonstrated in the Module code snippet. Make sure that the code correctly imports the necessary Angular Material components.

Step 3: Avoid Conflicts with ng add

The critical step to resolve the compilation issue involves how ng add is used. When you ran:

within your library project, it caused conflicts with Angular Material's installation and dependencies.

Step 4: Rebuild the Setup

Option A: Clean Setup

Delete the current library.

Create a new Angular application in the main workspace rather than adding Material in the library context.

Option B: Use the Root Level

Instead of adding Material directly in the library, add it to the root application for better stability:

Step 5: Validate the package.json

Verify that your package.json within the library correctly lists peerDependencies. Your setup looks good if it includes:

Conclusion

After properly reconfiguring your setup and ensuring that ng add @ angular/material is utilized correctly at the application level, you should be able to avoid those pesky compile errors. By structuring your library correctly and paying attention to dependency management, you can create an efficient Angular Material library for seamless integration.
