route-with-dynamic-outlets

Some bigger web applications provides panels/tabs interfaces. So far the implementations which I have saw were based on singular route with implementations which comes on top of it. While this solution works for simple case it cripples all advanced features which angular router has to offer (especially nestead routes). This library provides laverages angular router outlets to adress previous drawbacks. Curently it is rather proof on concept but it shows clean direction on how advanced panels/tabs interfaces can be implemented.

Getting started

Install

npm install route-with-dynamic-outlets

Usage

import {NgModule} from '@angular/core';
import {RouterModule, Routes} from '@angular/router';
import {PlaceholderComponent} from "./placeholder/placeholder.component";
import {createRouteWithDynamicOutlets} from "../route-with-dynamic-outlets/route-with-dynamic-outlets";
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { ActivatedRoute, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { map, Observable, switchMap } from 'rxjs';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { OutletsMap } from '../../src';

@Component({
  standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-dynamic-outlets',
  template: ```
  <a [routerLink]="[{ outlets: { A: [''], B: [''] } }]">Open A and B</a>
  <router-outlet *ngFor="let outlet of outlets$ | async" [name]="outlet">
    {{outlet}}
  </router-outlet>
  ```,
  imports: [RouterModule, CommonModule],
})
export class DynamicOutletsComponent {
  constructor(protected activatedRoute: ActivatedRoute) {}

  outlets$ = this.activatedRoute.data.pipe(
    switchMap(({ outlets$ }) => outlets$ as Observable<OutletsMap>),
    map(outlets => Object.keys(outlets ?? {}))
  );
}

const routes: Routes = [
    createRouteWithDynamicOutlets({
        path: '',
        component: DynamicOutletsComponent,
        dynamicOutletFactory: () => ({
            path: '',
            component: PlaceholderComponent,
        })
    })
];

@NgModule({
    imports: [RouterModule.forChild(routes)],
    exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class AppWorkspaceRoutingModule {
}

Routes with dynamic outlets still can be nested.
