I've moved to using ngx-formly because I found the integration with multiple frameworks in this package challenging, especially with the rapid release of new versions and dependency conflicts (Although in my opinion, Angular is very stable, other frameworks aren't so much). I've also written about it here: #2085 In case it's helpful, here's a link to my pull request where I moved away from fxLayout to CSS, which might simplify some issues: c8027b7 I usually work with Tailwind, hence the weird css class names at times. Good luck! |
I saw your PR and comments. I'll probaly go back to it when getting rid of flex-layout. I must admit I have a sweet spot for the approach of JsonForms over ngx-formly. I do understand how you feel about the monorepo, it's a bit of an obstacle. (Idk if it's me, but I'm under the impression the transition to pnpm helps over npm ... Or maybe the team already made things smoother by upgrading the other frameworks.) Atm, still stuck at wiring the tests and I have no clue why. I wonder to which extent it wouldn't be a good idea to create an angular workspace file (angular.json) to ease up the config & upgrades by relying on angular-cli instead of trying to work around it. |
Hi @JBBianchi ,
We also noticed that. The switch to pnpm was one step to try to alleviate the problems. Especially Angular does not seem to play that well in a mono repo with other non-angular packages. One problem with splitting it to two repositories is again that this then increases maintenance and release efforts again taking away more time from other dev.
As part of #1546 I started to investigate how we could switch to library builds and we noticed that this does not seem to work too well in the monorepo structure. Thus, we decided it is okay if the angular packages are moved to a new folder @JonasDev17 I am sorry that you felt neglected. I appreciate that you still took the time to answer here despite having moved on from the framework. Thank you! |
I'll investigate during the week. On top of my mind, I see 3 possibilities to leverage angular-cli but I'm not sure of the side effects:
An other point that comes to my mind but have a wider impact on the monorepo is the use of nx. Afaik, nx have a robust toolset to manage monorepo with mixed frameworks, it might be interesting to see how much effort is required to migrate from the lerna monorepo to nx. |
Hi @JBBianchi ,
If it can be done without polluting the main package.json that could be an option. However, adding the angular config to the root package.json is not desirable in my opinion.
I think this will not integrate well out of the box with the monorepo. I'd hope this could be mitigated by linking the jsonforms core into the angular workspace (e.g. as part of a pre build step in the angular workspace) to get an acceptable dev experience.
Using nx would definitely be an option for me if that alleviates the problem. Even if you don't add this in this PR, gladly report on your findings as this might also be interesting in the future :) Also I want to give you some notes I took some time ago:
Maybe there is a workaround for this in pnpm or by using nx or in Angular CLI. |
I managed to run the tests when creating a angular.json workspace at the root and installing @angular/cli, @angular/core and @angular/platform-browser-dynamic in the root as well. As it was messing around with the root of the monorepo, I tried to RE the test process instead to be able to use So I removed that mess and created a The good point is that the tests are running, the not so good point is that some are failing (not really a surprise), the (very) bad point is that the webpack output doesn't show. So when the build fails, it's just running 0 out of 0 test without leaving any clue about what's going on. It's messy and not ideal but I must admit I'm already happy so see those tests running after hours spent crawling angular libs with the debugger. |

When building the library, the bundler doesn't seem to complain. But when testing, an error occurs because it already exists in JsonFormsAbstractControl.
Hi @JBBianchi , As you seem to still work on that currently, could you ping @sdirix and/or me when you have concrete questions and or like a review :)? Otherwise, it's a bit hard to judge when/what to investigate because as looking at everything multiple times adds up to quite a lot of effort.
Is that a general issue or only when the webpack build fails? |
Sure, I'll do.
Currently, building of the library relies on Rollup (green lights) but the testing it relies on Webpack. |
I'm again hitting a tooling wall with linting. Eslint throws 'import/no-unresolved' errors for 'subpaths' (not sure of the terminology here), so basically imports from "submodules", e.g.: error Unable to resolve path to module '@angular/core/testing' import/no-unresolved I suspect it's related to import-js/eslint-plugin-import#1810 as in angular v12, each "submodule" had it's own package.json and now (in v15 but I don't know since which version) the "subpath" are "exported" directly from the root package.json. |
@JBBianchi , just to confirm: The imports work but just the linter incorrectly reports errors due to the issue you linked, right? |
@lucas-koehler Yes, the imports work but the linter isn't able to understand them. I was indeed thinking about ignoring those errors. I'm also facing issues when building the example because of the custom webpack config. I'll probably have to follow the same methodology I used for testing, aka debug how angular-cli does it and try to reproduce it outside an angular workspace. I also tried to update to angular v16 but it's yet an other round of problems. It seems to build but tests are failing, I didn't investigate why yet. Anyhow, I assume the current version should be compatible with v16 or v17 without actually updating them, it would just have been nice if it worked without too many efforts. |
Let's just turn it off to prevent it from blocking :)
I see. I suggest just ignoring the v16 update for now. "Only" the update to v15 is a huge upgrade to the current state :) I think it makes sense to focus on this getting ready rather than risking the effort blowing up too much by trying to fix it for 16 in the same PR. |
Notes: ignored some import/no-unresolved errors due to import-js/eslint-plugin-import#1810
I ignored the linting errors and fixed the example build (I used a combo of ngc, rollup and http-server instead of webpack). (note, the CICD doesn't seem to like the example refactor ?) One last thing that might be necessary would be to check the styling. With the MDC migration, few things have changed. I'm thinking about the background of the fields that are now a bit gray and also the icons/side nav of the master-detail renderer that seems bugged. Edit: I guess the CICD is broken because the location of the files to deploy slightly changed. I don't think I have eyes on those "checks" and their config. |
There seem to be an issue with the coverage report. @lucas-koehler or @sdirix could you investigate by any chance ? (same for the deploy that now fails ?) |
Hi @JBBianchi ,
Maybe you need to adjust some paths in @sdirix Do you maybe have an idea what could be going on with the coverage report? |
Edit: irrelevant, see next comment. |
Nevermind, I found the solution, test coverage fixed. |
@lucas-koehler @sdirix Unless I missed something, this PR is ready for review. |

Hi @JBBianchi ,
thanks for your massive effort! I had a look at the code and the changes and they look pretty good to me already. I have some comments inline, most of them pretty minor :)
Please have a look. I can test the changes probably next week :)
I could see in the build log that the coverage could in fact be calculated now but it's still reported as 0% in the (Edited) PR comment. Looking at the coveralls build https://coveralls.io/jobs/132565001 it only looks at file .prettier.js
and thus reports 0% coverage. @sdirix do you have an idea what could cause this?
I don't understand why the CI fails all the sudden, especially for an untouched vue thing ... |
- Regenerated the lock file from scratch - Fixed broken typings in one vue test caused by dependency updates
Hi @JBBianchi , |
@JBBianchi Thanks for the updates. The code changes itself look good to me now. I still want to test it though. Not sure if I can finish that today. Otherwise, my plan is to do it in the beginning of next week. |

Hi @JBBianchi, I finally got to test the changes. I tested it in the angular seed project and a fresh project created with the CLI. It worked in both :)
Thanks again for this great contribution and all the effort you invested ❤️
I added the recent commits to fix (and improve) the coverage check by improving the coverage report merge.
Great news @lucas-koehler, thanks a lot for your support ! There is one key aspect that still needs to be addressed though, the version compatibility. With those changes, the package will only be compatible with Angular v15. Maybe it could be a good idea to define a semver that is laxer and publish a preview version of the package ? That way, we could verify if it still work with previous versions of Angular and if it's compatible with v16 and v17. Wdty ? |
Hi @JBBianchi , Expanding the compatibility to 16 and 17 would be great in general. However, I'd like to test them before just publishing a new version, even if it is an alpha or beta. If you'd like to contribute that, you can gladly open a PR to allow Angular 16 and we'll review that :) |
(Reopening #2210 after messing up with git.)
Migrated Angular/Angular Material to v15 (dropped compatibility with previous versions. Could work, I didn't check.)
I didn't manage to reconfigure the test environment yet for angular-material.
Any help is more than welcome! <3

@JonasDev17 @sdirix if you have some time to have a look, it would be great. Angular is a great framework often used in companies, it would be sad to drop support for it.
