NgxEnhancyForms

This is the readme for developers. For information on how to use the library, see this readme.

Double Package.json

You might have noticed that there are two package.json files in this repo. The top one (./package.json), is for building and developing the library. The inner one (./projects/klippa/ngx-enhancy-forms/package.json) is what is distributed with the library to end users.

Adding dependencies

To add a development dependency, such as prettier, simply add it to devDependencies in the top package.json. To add a dependency to the library, add it to the inner package.json's peerDependencies AND to the outer package.json's dependencies. Only ever run yarn install with the top package.json.

Building

Always run yarn build:prod, ng build --prod, or ng build --configuration=production.

The normal build does not build the library for distribution and it will not work.

Testing

There are several ways to test the library after building locally, the most direct way is add the built library to your project as a file dependency.

For example, if you cloned this repo in your home directory:

{
	"name": "my-awesome-app",
	"dependencies": {
		"@klippa/ngx-enhancy-forms": "file:$HOME/dist/klippa/ngx-enhancy-forms"
	}
}

Whenever you make changes to the library, run yarn build:prod, and then in the application:

$ yarn update @klippa/ngx-enhancy-forms

You can also try using link: instead of file:, or using yarn link however your millage may vary. I have personally noticed that this preserves the references to this repo's node_packages which will break the build of the application using it. file: will not preserve symlinks, but will not dynamically update after building the library (hence why you need to run yarn update).
