Angular 6 library pipe












1














How to add a custom pipe in an Angular 6 library in order for it to be available in my main app ?
Currently I'm doing this in:
lib.module.ts:



@NgModule({
declarations: [
SomePipe
],
exports: [
SomePipe
]})


in public_api.ts:



export * from './lib/pipes/some.pipe';


in app.module.ts:



import { LibModule } from 'lib';
@NgModule({
...
imports: [
LibModule
]
...
})


I'm trying to use the pipe {{ 'something' | some}} but transform method of SomePipe is not called.

          So the issue appears to be here:



          export * from './lib/pipes/some.pipe';


          You are exporting everything from some.pipe file when you should have exported the module(@NgModule) from the module file. Something like this:



          export * from './lib.module';


          Doing that should fix the issue.



          Here's a Sample StackBlitz for your ref.

          • The export export * from './lib/pipes/some.pipe'; is correct because my pipe implementation resides in some.pipe.ts file.
