1. Introduction

Sam4Sc is a migration assistant for Angular to SCAM (Single Angular Component Modules) and Standalone Components.

Migrating an Angular application to the SCAM model is a preparation for the final switch to Standalone Components.

Sam4Sc assists in both steps, whereas the migration from SCAM to Standalone Components is fully automatic.

The migration/generation of SCAMs is semi-automatic. The SCAMs a generated first. After that, the developer(s) must define the dependencies per SCAM manually.

2. Setup and Usage

To install Sam4Sc, execute
``bash
npm i -D @angular-architects@sam4sc
`

$3

`bash
npx ng generate @angular-architects/sam4sc:scam --dry-run


make sure, everything looks alright


npx ng generate @angular-architects/sam4sc:scam
`

or alternatively,

`
npx ng generate @angular-architects:sam4sc:scam --project [projectName]
`

$3

`bash
npx ng generate @angular-architects/sam4sc:report
`

SCAMs will have a JavaScript comment at the start of the file with a tag SAM4SC:SCAM. Remove those, if you have added the dependencies and that module will not show up in the progress report.

$3

`bash
npx ng generate @angular-architects/sam4s:scam2sc
``

Please feel free to try it out and give feedback.
