Circularizer: A Tool for Making Angular Components More Modular and Easier to Test
Circularizer is a tool that helps to make your Angular components more modular and easier to test by converting them into circular dependencies.
In Angular, components are often tightly coupled with each other, meaning that they have dependencies on other components or services that are not easily testable. This can make it difficult to write unit tests for these components, as you need to mock out the dependencies in order to isolate the component being tested.
Circularizer helps to address this problem by converting circular dependencies into simpler, more modular dependencies. It does this by creating a new module for each component, and then injecting the necessary dependencies into that module. This allows you to test each component in isolation, without having to worry about the dependencies of other components.
Here's an example of how Circularizer can help:
Suppose you have a component called `MyComponent` that depends on another component called `MyOtherComponent`. Without Circularizer, your code might look like this:
```
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { MyOtherComponent } from './my-other.component';
@Component({
selector: 'app-my',
template: '
})
export class MyComponent {
constructor(private myOtherComponent: MyOtherComponent) {}
}
```
This code is tightly coupled, as `MyComponent` depends on `MyOtherComponent`. If you want to test `MyComponent`, you need to mock out the dependencies of `MyOtherComponent`, which can be difficult and error-prone.
With Circularizer, you can convert this code into something like this:
```
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { MyOtherComponentModule } from './my-other.module';
@Component({
selector: 'app-my',
template: '
})
export class MyComponent {
constructor(private myOtherComponentModule: MyOtherComponentModule) {}
}
```
Now, `MyComponent` depends on a module called `MyOtherComponentModule`, which exports the `MyOtherComponent` component. This makes it easier to test `MyComponent` in isolation, as you can simply mock out the dependencies of `MyOtherComponentModule`.
Overall, Circularizer is a useful tool for making Angular components more modular and easier to test. It can help you to break cycles of dependency and make your code more maintainable and scalable.
