Is it possible to add a custom angular element to a component html other than index.html


Angular version used: v11

I am trying to integrate an application with lazy loaded modules as angular elements using ngx-build-plus into another application. I am having some difficulty adding the element to a component in the main application. When I add it to the index.html it will render, but showing below error when i try to add to any other html file.

'cs-root' is not a known element:
1. If 'cs-root' is an Angular component, then verify that it is part of this module.
2. If 'cs-root' is a Web Component then add 'CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA' to the '@NgModule.schemas' of this component to suppress this message.

App module file is as below

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    RouterModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
    CoreModule.forRoot(),
    SharedModule.forRoot(),
    ToasterModule
  ],
  exports: [AppComponent],
  providers: [{ provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, useClass: HttpAuthInterceptor, multi: true },
    { provide: APP_INITIALIZER, useFactory: appInitFactory, deps: [AppInitService], multi: true },
     WindowService,
     InsightsGuard],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
  constructor(private injector: Injector) {
    const el = createCustomElement(AppComponent, { injector });
    customElements.define('cs-root', el);
  }
  ngDoBootstrap() {
    // This method circumvents the natural bootstrapping of the element 
    }
}

am i missing something here ?


Solution

  • found a solution for this

    added below code to component (in which I need to add the angular element).

    if (!document.getElementById('cs-root')) {
       this.loadExternalService.addExternalScript(renderer2);
       const customElement = document.createElement('cs-root');
       const contentHolder = this.el.nativeElement;
       contentHolder.appendChild(customElement);
    }
    

    el: ElementRef

    load-external-files service

    const customPath = 'http://localhost:4600/'
    public addExternalScript(renderer2: Renderer2): void {
       const script = renderer2.createElement('script');
       script.type = 'text/javascript';
       script.text = ``;
       script.src = `${customPath}[es2015-bundle-file-name].js`;
       script.onload = this.loadNextScript.bind(this, renderer2, cdnUrl);
       renderer2.appendChild(this._document.body, script);
    }
    private loadNextScript(renderer2: Renderer2) {
      const script = renderer2.createElement('script');
      script.type = 'text/javascript';
      script.text = ``;
      script.src = `${customPath}[es5-bundle-file-name].js`;
      script.onload = () => {
           // logic on files load
      };
      renderer2.appendChild(this._document.body, script);
    }
