Currently, I am loosely following a tutorial on creating an angular npm package named customlib. This package is intended for managing dependencies across my projects without the need to make them public on npm. The tutorial can be found here.
However, I encounter a 'module not found: Can't resolve 'customlib'' error in my app.module.ts file when trying to import it using:
import { customModule } from 'customlib';
In order to successfully import, I have to use the following path:
import { customModule } from '../../node_modules/customModule/dist-lib/index';
I'm wondering if there's something missing in my setup or configuration. It's important to note that all the files I want to include in my package are moved to the dist-lib directory.
The package.json of my library looks like this:
{
"name" : "customlib",
"version" : "0.1.0",
"private" : true,
"dependencies" : [
...
],
"files" : [ "dist-lib/" ],
"repository" : {
"type" : "git",
"url : "path/to/repo"
},
"types": "dist-lib/index.d.ts"
}
To add the dependency in the consumer project's package.json, I use the following format:
"customlib" : "path/to/repo"
Additionally, I've made sure to include the necessary paths in the consumer project's tsconfig.json:
"include": [
"src/**/*.ts",
"node_modules/customlib/dist-lib/index.ts"
]
