## Introduction

Ngext is a tool which abstracts an angular application and drastically simplifies the routing. It has the following features: 

- File-based routing (no more routing modules!)

- All lazy loaded modules generation

- Dynamic configurations (no more static angular.json files)

- Declarative route layouts

- Server-side rendering, (HTML file for each page!)

- Compatible with all your existing angular files `@NgModules`, `@Components`, ...etc

## Get Started

**Install**

``` sh

npm i -g ngext

```

**Usage**

```

Usage: ngext [options] [command]

Options:

  -v, --version      output the version number

  -h, --help         display help for command

Commands:

  new [ProjectName]  Creates a new project

  build              Builds the ngext app

  export             Exports the ngext app with SSR

  dev                Runs the ngext app locally

  help [command]     display help for command

```

## Why use this?

Angular has many elegant abstractions, `@Component`, `@Module`, `@Injectable`. However, the routing in Angular is not a simple abstraction.

In order to add a new page, Angular routing requires that you edit 3 places; add a component file, declare component in a module, and add a route to a routing module.

![comparison](./docs/imgs/ngext-comparison.png)

This project attempts to encapsulate this into a single abstraction `@PageComponent`, which contains the component, dependencies and the route path which is generated from the page location. Making it easier than ever to add new pages to Angular apps.
