You are mixing too many things together

@fabioformosa

Please explain why you include these three things into kaishi

• app module
• route
• theme module ?

The theme module imports User and 3 services from ngx-admin-lte.

If kaishi is a core project, then why would you include an app module and a route in it ?

This is what I do not get ?

[catull]

The route is useless.

An app which imports kaishi will provide its own route. And will have its own app module.

[fabioformosa]

You're right. The app in kaishi it's only a showcase for the main module (kaishi-theme-adminlte). A dummy app useful to test kaishi without an actual app (the equivalent of bootstrapping-ngx-admin-lte for ngx-admin-lte). I've followed this tutorial https://medium.com/@nikolasleblanc/building-an-angular-4-component-library-with-the-angular-cli-and-ng-packagr-53b2ade0701e I don't export the app inside kaishi, but I package and export the main module inside kaishi: kaishi-theme-adminlte. Indeed simple-kaishi imports kaishi-theme-adminlte and it defines its routes.

I played around with your two repos but I cannot get it to build properly.

I have kaishi as a wrapper of ngx-admin-lte. I have simple-kaishi almost building, just one error left:

npm run build

> simple-kaishi@0.0.0 build kaishi/simple-kaishi.git
> ng build --prod

@angular/compiler-cli@5.2.9 requires typescript@'>=2.4.2 <2.7.0' but 2.7.2 was found instead.
Using this version can result in undefined behaviour and difficult to debug problems.

Please run the following command to install a compatible version of TypeScript.

    npm install typescript@'>=2.4.2 <2.7.0'

To disable this warning run "ng set warnings.typescriptMismatch=false".
