import service from library

[Alexander Mills]

I created a library using:

$ ng g library tools

I want to import a service called AuthService from the library from another project, I have:

import {AuthService} from "../../../../tools/src/lib/auth.service";

is there a better way to resolve the library or is that about right?

[Sander Elias]

Try

```ts

import {authService} from "tools"

```

sadly that didn't work, I wonder if there is a way to specify it safely? I wouldn't want "tools" to collide with a package from node_modules?

When you create a library, the CLI puts a path in your tsconfig.json.  You can look this up. the name you can use for your import should be in there. (if you did export it properly, it might be that you need to do a so-called "deep import" (`tools/something/else/my-thing`))

And no, I'm not aware of a way to guard against package name collisions. Just make sure you don't conflict.
For myself, I usually use a prefix. (for my Angular things its usually '@se-ng'
