@angular-architects/sam4sc

1. Introduction

Sam4Sc is a migration assistant for Angular to SCAM (Single Angular Component Modules) and Standalone Components.

Migrating an Angular application to the SCAM model is a preparation for the final switch to Standalone Components.

Sam4Sc assists in both steps, whereas the migration from SCAM to Standalone Components is fully automatic.

The migration/generation of SCAMs is semi-automatic. The SCAMs a generated first. After that, the developer(s) must define the dependencies per SCAM manually.

2. Setup and Usage

To install Sam4Sc, execute

npm i -D @angular-architects@sam4sc

2.1. Generate SCAMs

npx ng generate @angular-architects/sam4sc:scam --dry-run
# make sure, everything looks alright
npx ng generate @angular-architects/sam4sc:scam

or alternatively,

npx ng generate @angular-architects:sam4sc:scam --project [projectName]

2.2. Show the progress report for the SCAM report

npx ng generate @angular-architects/sam4sc:report

SCAMs will have a JavaScript comment at the start of the file with a tag SAM4SC:SCAM. Remove those, if you have added the dependencies and that module will not show up in the progress report.

2.3. Migrate to Standalone Components (Beta)

npx ng generate @angular-architects/sam4s:scam2sc

Please feel free to try it out and give feedback.
