Lazy Loaded Components - #4 NPM-Package

Proudly presenting npm install @gewd/lazy -S emoji-wink

NPM Version

Finally, the demo-repository and loader package is done. Here are some of the changes:

Lazy-Helper

Like the C# Lazy-Class, I created a simple helper, which holds the lazy-Value once its already have been requested.

import { Lazy } from '@gewd/lazy/utils';

// create
var myLazy = Lazy.create(() => import(/*...*/))

// callback/promise will be only executed once `.getValue()` is called
const result = await myLazy.getValue();

// once the value was loaded, it'll just use this cached promise

In the previously articles you saw that I cached the requests, in a separate dictionary, with this I don't need to handle that.

Lazy Components

As you can see the registration of LazyComponents changed a bit, now using the Lazy-Helper.

// Register the lazy component, without a module
DynamicLoaderRegistry.LazyComponents = {
  'test-comp': new Lazy<any>(() => import('./lazy-wrapper/test-comp'))
};

Use it inside your app with:

<gewd-lazy-component 
   [componentInputs]="{ testProp: 'Component Binding from outside' }"
   component="test-comp"
>
   Normal content that is visible the content isn't loaded.

   <div isLoading>
      This content will be visible while the component is loading / being created.
   </div>                  
</gewd-lazy-component>

This is useful for components that don't need any other module's or using 3rd party web-components.

Note, using components of the host-module not working yet.

But for this issue I created the lazy-components (using modules), this type of lazy-loading has been around for quite a while, there are existing libraries for this, but here is my approach :)

Lazy Module Components

DynamicLoaderRegistry.LazyModuleComponents = {
  'test-module': {
    load: new Lazy<any>(
      () => import('./lazy-wrapper/test-module-comp')
      .then(({TestModule}) => TestModule)
    )
  },
};

Your lazy module need to implement LazyModule

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    MyModuleComp // Your Component
  ],
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    MatButtonModule // any dependent module
  ]
})
export class TestModule implements LazyModule {
  getComponents (): LazyModuleComponentInfo[] {
    return [
      {
        name: 'MyModuleComp',  // key to access it
        componentType: MyModuleComp  // your component
      }
    ];
  }
}

Use it inside your app with:

<gewd-lazy-module-component
    [componentInputs]="{ testProp: 'Module Component Example' }"
    [componentOutputs]="outputBinding"
    moduleAlias="test-module"
    component="MyModuleComp"
    >
   Normal content that is visible the content isn't loaded.

   <div isLoading>
      This content will be visible while the component is loading / being created.
   </div>  
</gewd-lazy-module-component>
