Angular2 Module: How can i import a service from another module


import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

import { ClinicFacilityService } from './apiClient.module';


@NgModule({
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    FormsModule
  ],
  declarations: [
    DailyScheduleComponent,
  ],
  providers: [
    ClinicFacilityService
  ],
  exports: [
    DailyScheduleComponent
  ],
})
export class ClinicDashboardModule {
}

I need to import ClinicFacilityService that is declared in another module (apiClient.module)

Is this even possible, if not why is not possible. At the moment i am importing ClinicFacilityService like this:

import { ClinicFacilityService } from './api-client-service/clinic-facility.service';

Solution

  • Adding the module to imports should do

    import { ApiClientModule } from './apiClient.module';
    
    @NgModule({
      imports: [
        ApiClientModule,
        CommonModule,
        FormsModule
      ],
      declarations: [
        DailyScheduleComponent,
      ],
      exports: [
        DailyScheduleComponent
      ],
    })
    export class ClinicDashboardModule {
    }
    

    otherwise import the file that contains the service class

    import { ClinicFacilityService } from './clinic-facility.service';
    

    There is a clear distinction between @NgModule() imports and TypeScript imports.

    If you need to use the class name (ClinicFacilityService) then a TypeScript import of that class is required. This is entirely unrelated to @NgModule()

    @NgModule({
      ...
      providers: [
        ClinicFacilityService
      ],
    

    If the @NgModule() import is required, then the class name of the module class (ApiClientModule) requires a TypeScript import because the module needs to be passed.

    @NgModule({
      imports: [
        ApiClientModule,
      ],
