Example how to lazy load libs

#POC Library

#####Create a new angular 6.0.3 project
ng new ui

#####Install node_module npm install

#####Add example library cd ui
ng g library exampleLibA

This creates the library in projects folder

#####Added routing to example library module

example-lib-a.module.ts
{path: "", component: ExampleLibAComponent}

#####Build example module

ng build --prod exampleLibA

creates a dist folder with the builded library

#####Publish/Install in nexus repository

cd dist/example-lib-a npm publish

pushes the builded module into a repo which is defined in .npmrc file

npm install exampleLibA

This will install exampleLibA in node_modules folder.

For simplifying the test case scenario, we just copy the builded module to node_modules (could also be linked instead)

cp -R dist/example-lib-a/ node_modules/example-lib-a

Now I have my library in node_modules almost similar to npm install exampleLiabA

######Modify Master App

1. Added routerLink and router-outlet to app.component.html
2. Added RouterModule to app.module

######Try to run application

ng serve

ERROR in No NgModule metadata found for 'ExampleLibA'.

Other (working) solution

1. Create a module wrapper in src/app and lazy load this wrapper module. Place tag inside tmpl of the component
2. Refer to ../../projects/example-lib-a/src/lib/example-lib-a.module#ExampleLibAModule in loadChildren. In that case we need to create an (unused ) import of this file.
