# Angular Linker
|
|
|
|
This package contains a `FileLinker` and supporting code to be able to "link" partial declarations of components, directives, etc in libraries to produce the full definitions.
|
|
|
|
The partial declaration format allows library packages to be published to npm without exposing the underlying Ivy instructions.
|
|
|
|
The tooling here allows application build tools (e.g. CLI) to produce fully compiled components, directives, etc at the point when the application is bundled.
|
|
These linked files can be cached outside `node_modules` so it does not suffer from problems of mutating packages in `node_modules`.
|
|
|
|
Generally this tooling will be wrapped in a transpiler specific plugin, such as the provided [Babel plugin](./babel).
|
|
|
|
## Unit Testing
|
|
|
|
The unit tests are built and run using Bazel:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/linker/test
|
|
```
