Angular Dynamic Compile component, that turns a string into a compiled component v5.2.92-313

This is an open source project. Just code. If you like this code, please add a star in GitHub and if you really like, you can donate as well. Thanks you so much!

Given, I have my own server, with dynamic IP address, it could happen that the server for about max 5 minutes can not be reachable for the dynamic DNS or very rarely I backup with Clonzilla the SSD or something with the electricity (too much hoovering or cleaning - but I worked on it, so should not happen again), but for some reason, it is not reachable please hang on for 5-30 minutes and it will be back for sure.

All my domains (patrikx3.com and corifeus.com) could have errors right now, since I am developing in my free time and you can catch glitches, but usually it is stable (imagine updating everything always, which is weird).

Node Version Requirement

>=8.9.0 

Built on Node

v9.8.0

The async and await keywords are required.

Install NodeJs:
https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/

Built on Angular

5.2.9

Description

Use case

Dynamic compile components by a string template for Angular. You can provide a context, that you can use with anything (for clicking for free etc..)

NPM & Version

It is a CommonJS bundle. The version reflects the Angular version (AngularMajor.AngularMinor.Build-Commit).

You can find out your proper version with this command:

npm show p3x-angular-compile versions --json

Install

npm install --save p3x-angular-compile
# or
yarn add p3x-angular-compile

AOT + JIT

Angular 5.x.x +

For now we cannot use AOT + JIT at once. It is too new, we will need more releases and new functions that are removed.

Info

https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/20156

On the bottom, you can see:

To reduce the payload we do not ship the compiler in AoT

So right now, it is not possible.

Angular 4.x.x

It is not working out of the box (the default is either JIT or AOT, not both), but the apps become 10 folds faster. The @ngtools/webpack is AOT and the awesome-typescript-loader is JIT only.

The solution can be architect with the @angular/compiler and the awesome-typescript-loader together. A miracle!

Example here (since I am using Angular 5 not, it is not AOT + JIT anymore, but if you are on Angular 4, you can do it): More info about AOT + JIT

Size

If you want very small bundle, use gzip.

Usage

import { CompileModule} from "p3x-angular-compile"

// the module settings
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // multiple directives in a shared module like this
        CorifeusWebMaterialModule,
        
        // usually it is enough
        CompileModule,
        
        // usually it is not required anymore
        // since Angular 5 changed
        // but if there is something missing,
        // you can add in as before
        CompileModule.forRoot({
            // module = NgModule
            module: {
                schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA],
                declarations: [MyDynamicElement ],
                // though you are better a shared component like
                imports: [
                    CorifeusWebMaterialModule
                ]
                
            }
        })
    ],
    declarations: [
        Page,
    ],
    providers: [
    ],
    bootstrap: [ Page ]
})
export class Module { };

 <div *ngIf="true" 
 [p3x-compile]="data"
 [p3x-compile-ctx]="this"
 [p3x-compile-error-handler]="anyFunctionThatTakesAnExceptionObject"
 [p3x-compile-module]="youCanConfigureTheCompileNgModuleForAngular5NotNeeded"
 [p3x-compile-imports]="ifForSomeReasonADirectiveIsNotWorkingYouCanAddInForAngular5NotNeeded"
 >     
</div>

// a page example
export class Page {

    data: string = "<div (click)="context.alert()">It is working</div>";

    alert() {
        alert('ok');
    }
}

Actual used dynamic compiler

I use a dynamic Markdown page with p3x-angular-compile: Module , Example page

Options

Reference for the Angular module settings.

Deployed example

For now, until there is no options in Angular to use JIT, I just use AOT, so I don't use this component

Corifeus Pages (AOT)

https://github.com/patrikx3/corifeus-app-web-pages/blob/master/src/angular/modules/cory-page.ts

Dev environment end test

npm install -g yarn
git clone https://github.com/patrikx3/angular-compile.git
cd angular-compile
yarn install
grunt run|default

http://localhost:8080

Errors

Type x is part of the declarations of 2 modules

Basically, you need a shared component.
