Question

How to create a standalone component manually?

Answer 1

To make existing component to standalone, then add standalone: true in component-name.component.ts as shown below

import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  selector: 'app-standalone-component',
  templateUrl: './standalone-component.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./standalone-component.component.css'],
})
export class ComponentNameComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor() {}

  ngOnInit() {}
}

Next need to update app.module.ts as shown below.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { ComponentNameComponent } from './component-name/component-name.component';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    ComponentNameComponent
  ],
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}
