I am just picking up Angular 8 and CLI and have created a project as below
ng new my-demo cd my-demo ng g library foo --prefix=my
Now in my library I want to add ngx-bootstrap as the component and will need the DropdownButtonModule so my question is how do I go about installing the npm package for the library?
I tried as suggested in the link Installing NPM packages in angular 6 workspace
But build is failing and unable to identify the DropdownButtonModule in mylibrarymodule.ts file to import the module
Also i need to bundle the dependencies for the library
First Install ngx-bootstrap from npm
npm install ngx-bootstrap --save
Add BsDropdownModule to NgModule imports:
import { BsDropdownModule } from 'ngx-bootstrap/dropdown';
@NgModule({
...
imports: [BsDropdownModule.forRoot(),...]
...
})
Use it in your HTML file as below.
<div class="btn-group" dropdown>
<button dropdownToggle type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle">
Button dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul *dropdownMenu class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li role="menuitem"><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a></li>
<li role="menuitem"><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a></li>
<li role="menuitem"><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a></li>
<li class="divider dropdown-divider"></li>
<li role="menuitem"><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
