Angular CLI - How to share prototype functions across the application

Question

I need to have some global prototype functions on the string class. Eg.

string.prototype.trimWhiteSpaces = function () {
  return this.replace(/ +/g, \'\');
         


        

Answer 1

I had the urge to prototype some methods too

We're working on a project that uses thousands of classes and members, a large amount of these members are completely repetitive and could be shared among the components

after a few minutes searching I came across these solution Angular Global or Shared Modules

Generally there's 2 ways to handle it

1. You need to share a particular code among specific components, and not globally

this would happen to any medium to large web application

Angular Docs explained how to do so

2. You need to share some code globally (which this is your case i guess)

Note that This option is different than just any ordinary global module , we want to populate some prototype with our own functionality
