Using a pipe in multiple modules can lead to either NG6007 (having the same pipe declaration in more than one NgModule) or NG6002 (failing to resolve the pipe to an NgModule

My Pipe is located in

apps\administrator\src\app\modules\messenger\pipes\custom-message.pipe.ts

import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';

/**
 * Pipe for Custom Message for boolean
 */
@Pipe({
  name: 'customMessage',
})
export class CustomMessagePipe implements PipeTransform {
  public transform(value: boolean, trueString: string, falseString: string): string {
    //The code
  }
}

In the main module

apps\administrator\src\app\app.module.ts
file:

import { CustomMessagePipe } from './modules/messenger/pipes/custom-message.pipe';
...
@NgModule({
  declarations: [..., CustomMessagePipe],
  providers: [...],
})
export class AppModule {}

I now have two modules named FormSmsModule and FormSmtpModule

FormSmsModule is located in

apps\administrator\src\app\modules\messenger\form-sms

FormSmtpModule is located in

apps\administrator\src\app\modules\messenger\form-smtp

Referring to this answer here

In the file apps\administrator\src\app\modules\messenger\form-sms\form-sms.module.ts, utilizing CustomMessagePipe in the imports array, I have:

import { CustomMessagePipe } from '../pipes/custom-message.pipe';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [...],
  imports: [
    ...,
    CustomMessagePipe,
    FormSmsRoutingModule,
  ],
  providers: [...],
})
export class FormSmsModule {}

In the file apps\administrator\src\app\modules\messenger\form-smtp\ form-smtp.module.ts, using CustomMessagePipe in the imports array, I have:

import { CustomMessagePipe } from '../pipes/custom-message.pipe';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [...],
  imports: [
    ...,
    CustomMessagePipe,
    FormSmtpRoutingModule,
  ],
  providers: [...],
})
export class FormSmtpModule {}

Encountering an error mentioned in this question here

ERROR in apps/administrator/src/app/modules/messenger/pipes/custom-message.pipe.ts:10:14 - error NG6002: Appears in the NgModule.imports of FormSmsModule, but could not be resolved to an NgModule class.

Is it missing an @NgModule annotation?

10 export class CustomMessagePipe implements PipeTransform {
                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

** Angular Live Development Server is listening on localhost:4202, open your browser on http://localhost:4202/ **

Trying an alternative method as provided here

In the file apps\administrator\src\app\modules\messenger\form-sms\form-sms.module.ts, including CustomMessagePipe in the declarations array, I have:

import { CustomMessagePipe } from '../pipes/custom-message.pipe';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [..., CustomMessagePipe],
  imports: [
    ...,
    FormSmsRoutingModule,
  ],
  providers: [...],
})
export class FormSmsModule {}

In the file apps\administrator\src\app\modules\messenger\form-smtp\form-smtp.module.ts, adding CustomMessagePipe to the declarations array, I have:

import { CustomMessagePipe } from '../pipes/custom-message.pipe';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [..., CustomMessagePipe],
  imports: [
    ...,
    FormSmtpRoutingModule,
  ],
  providers: [...],
})
export class FormSmtpModule {}

Encountering an error similar to what's described in this question Angular 2 - Pipe reuse in multiple modules - error not found or duplicate definition

ERROR in apps/administrator/src/app/modules/messenger/pipes/custom-message.pipe.ts:10:14 - error NG6007: The Pipe 'CustomMessagePipe' is declared by more than one NgModule.

10 export class CustomMessagePipe implements PipeTransform {
                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

** Angular Live Development Server is listening on localhost:4202, open your browser on http://localhost:4202/ **

As evident, attempting both solutions leads to another problem.

How can this be resolved?

Answer №1

The problem you are currently encountering is that you are attempting to define or import your pipe in multiple modules, which goes against Angular's guidelines. Components and pipes should only be declared once according to the compiler.

The challenge now lies in wanting to utilize the same pipe across various modules. To address this, consider creating a "shared" module. This module will include all components and pipes intended for use across different modules.

Your shared module setup would resemble the following:

import { CustomMessagePipe } from '../pipes/custom-message.pipe';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [..., CustomMessagePipe],
  // exports must be included so that your component/pipe can be accessed in other modules
  exports: [..., CustomMessagePipe]
})
export class SharedModule{}

In your other modules, simply add SharedModule to the imports array.
