Getting Started

ngx-lazy-directive provides an easy way to lazy load components combined with *ngIf directive, thereby reducing the Firrst Contentful Paint time when a module becomes larger.

Installation

npm install ngx-lazy-directive

Usage

1. Define a list of components should be lazy loaded.

Note: components should be standalone.

export const LAZY_LOADED_COMPONENTS = {
 'app-chart': () => import('src/app/dashboard/components/chart.component.ts')
}

2. Pass the import function to the loadChild property.

<ng-container
     *ngIf="visible"
     ngxLazyDirective
     [loadChild]="LAZY_LOADED_COMPONENTS['app-chart']">
</ng-container>

3. Pass binding data and event handlers to the lazy loaded component using the inputs and outputs properties.

<ng-container
    *ngIf="visible"
    ngxLazyDirective
    [loadChild]="LAZY_LOADED_COMPONENTS['app-chart']"
    [inputs]="{
      dataSource: dataSource,
      name: name
    }"
    [outputs]="{
      nameChanged: onNameChanged
    }">
</ng-container>

4. Define event handlers.

// Event handlers must be arrow functions
onNameChanged = (name: string) => {
  this.name = name;
}
