Video: 'I won't go in details - you have a link on my website with a full description of everything' 'This video will show you what can be done' 'The final result will be this view' Flow: Create one Angular 5 application, one Angular 8 Application, and one React Application. Inject them all in a static index.html file and / or inject them all into Angular 5 application.

Joining Files: npm install --save-dev concat fs-extra

STEPS FOR BUILDING A WEB COMPONENT IN ANGULAR

1. In app.module.ts convert bootstrap to entryComponents

 constructor(private injector: Injector) {}

 ngDoBootstrap() {
   const el = createCustomElement(AppComponent, {injector: this.injector});
   customElements.define('angular-eight-component', el);
 }
}

3. npm install --save-dev concat fs-extra
4. In package Json: "build:elements": "ng build --prod --output-hashing none && node elements-build.js",
5. create elements-build.js in root folder and add this

const fs = require('fs-extra');
const concat = require('concat');

(async function build() {
// INSTEAD OF /Angular8/ USE YOUR PROJECT NAME OR YOUR CUSTOM DIST LOCATION
  const files = [
    './dist/Angular8/runtime-es2015.js', 
    './dist/Angular8/polyfills-es2015.js',
    './dist/Angular8/main-es2015.js'
  ];

  await fs.ensureDir('elements');
  await concat(files, 'elements/Angular8.js');
  await fs.copyFile(
    './dist/Angular8/styles.css',
    'elements/styles.css'
  );
})();

STEPS FOR INTEGRATING A WEBCOMPONENT IN ANGULAR

1. Put the built files in assets of Angular 5 app
2. add schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA] to AppModule
3. Do ng eject
4. Delete every reference of CommonsChunkPlugin
