Module exporting itself

[cursive grove]

If I have the following:

@Module({
    imports: [CqrsModule],
    providers: [Provider1, Provider2],
    exports: [CqrsModule, ModuleA],
})
export class ModuleA { }

and then I have:

@Module({
    imports: [ModuleA],
    providers: [Provider3],
    exports: [ModuleB],
})
export class ModuleB { }

Am I correctly assuming that ModuleB will have access to all the providers from ModuleA and CqrsModule? Will I have the same instances or do I have to manually export Provider1 and Provider2?

You have to manually export the providers that are declared in the module that you want to export.

So there is no real reason to export the module itself in the decorator, right?

Right

Thanks for the clarification 🙇‍♂️

Although that's something that you can do in Angular (AFIAK), It can cause circular dependencies issues
So I guess it's better to not have that feature in Nest
