Mixing Angular versions

we have our Angular Module in Version 4.2.3.

Is it possible to import a Feature Module of a higher Angular Version like 5.2.8.

Will this work? Are there any restriction or description how to do that?

Thanks in Advance for your help. Stephan

AFAIK, at this point in time, there can only be one @angular set of code in your node_modules folder ... that means only one version of Angular can be installed with your application.

There is very little difference between Angular v4.2 and Angular v5.2.8, so there should not be an issue moving all of your code to v5.2.8.

You can use this app: https://angular-update-guide.firebaseapp.com/ to see the specific differences between the versions.

Alternatively, you could build the new feature as a component library following the instructions here: https://medium.com/@nikolasleblanc/building-an-angular-4-component-library-with-the-angular-cli-and-ng-packagr-53b2ade0701e But a component library is really meant for reusable pieces of code, not feature modules.
