webpack config of exposing app

module: {
  rules: [{
          test: /\.js?$/,
          use: [{
            loader: 'share-loader',
            options: {
              modules: [/@angular/, /@uirouter\/angular/],
              exclude: [/@angular\/material/],
              namespace: 'some-name-space'
            }
          }]
        }]
}

webpack config of consumer apps

const {Externals} = require('./share-loader');

externals: [
  Externals({
    namespace: 'some-name-space',
    modules: [/@angular/, /@uirouter\/angular/]
  })
],
output: {
  library: 'some-name-space',
  libraryTarget: 'umd'
}

2. Run npm run build:prod in the ext-app-1 root
3. Host the ext1.js file from ext-app-1 project in some localhost server
4. Change the <%path-to-server-host%> in the shell project app.state.ts
5. Run npm run serve:dev in the shell project root



Example-cli
