How can i use full fledged angular app as pilet in piral

Question

I have a existing angular app with it's own routing and multiple components that are used with each other. Using piral-ng converter i can convert an angular component to be used in piral but if an angular component is using another angular component, i am getting error.

Is there any way to use full fledged angular app as pilet

In order to use other Angular components you'll need to have them all defined in the same module.

So if you only do:

import { PiletApi } from 'my-piral-instance';
import { AngularPage } from './AngularPage';

export function setup(piral: PiletApi) {
  piral.registerPage('/sample', piral.fromNg(AngularPage));
}

then using something else inside AngularPage will not work.

However, if you define all those things in one module such as

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { SharedModule } from 'piral-ng/common';
import { AngularPage } from './AngularPage';
import { OtherComponent } from './OtherComponent';

@NgModule({
  imports: [SharedModule],
  declarations: [AngularPage, OtherComponent],
  exports: [AngularPage, OtherComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

then it would work, given that you properly tell piral-ng to use that module:

import { PiletApi } from 'my-piral-instance';
import { AppModule } from './AppModule';
import { AngularPage } from './AngularPage';

export function setup(piral: PiletApi) {
  // this "teaches" Piral about the given module
  piral.defineNgModule(AppModule);

  // since we export the AngularPage from the defined module
  // Piral will use the AppModule for bootstrapping the Ng app
  piral.registerPage('/sample', piral.fromNg(AngularPage));
}

This way using OtherComponent with its registered tag works as they are properly defined and share the same Angular module.
