Load New Modules Dynamically In Run Time With Angular Cli Angular 5

Have you ever found yourself needing to load new modules dynamically in runtime with Angular CLI and Angular 5? If so, you're in luck because I'm here to guide you through this process step by step. This functionality can be incredibly useful when you want to enhance your application's flexibility by loading modules at runtime based on specific conditions or user actions.

To achieve this dynamic loading of modules, we will leverage Angular's built-in module loading capabilities along with the power of Angular CLI. The key to success here lies in understanding how to structure your project and use Angular CLI to compile and load these modules seamlessly.

First things first, let's create a new module that we want to load dynamically. You can generate a new module using the Angular CLI command:

ng generate module DynamicModule

This command will create a new module named `DynamicModule` in your project. Inside this module, you can define components, services, and any other Angular entities that you want to load dynamically.

Next, we need to configure our Angular application to load this module dynamically at runtime. To achieve this, we will use the Angular router to lazy load the module when needed. You can define a route for the dynamic module in your `app-routing.module.ts` file like this:

const routes: Routes = [
  { path: 'dynamic', loadChildren: () => import('./dynamic/dynamic.module').then(m => m.DynamicModule) },
  // Other routes...
];

In this snippet, we are telling Angular to lazy load the `DynamicModule` when the `/dynamic` route is accessed. Notice how we use the `import()` function, which is a JavaScript feature that allows dynamic loading of modules. When the user navigates to the `/dynamic` route, Angular will fetch the module and load it on-demand.

Finally, to make sure that Angular CLI can handle this dynamic module loading configuration properly, you should build your project with the `--prod` flag to enable production mode optimizations. Run the following command to build your project for production:

ng build --prod

By following these steps, you can successfully load new modules dynamically at runtime in your Angular CLI project using Angular 5. This capability opens up a world of possibilities for creating more interactive and flexible applications that can adapt to user interactions and changing requirements.

Remember to test your application thoroughly after implementing dynamic module loading to ensure that everything works as expected. Embrace the power of Angular's module loading capabilities and take your application to the next level of flexibility and efficiency.
