Angular libraries should what you need.
Many applications need to solve the same general problems, such as presenting a unified user interface, presenting data, and allowing data entry. Developers can create general solutions for particular domains that can be adapted for re-use in different apps. Such a solution can be built as Angular libraries and these libraries can be published and shared as npm packages.
An Angular library is an Angular project that differs from an app in that it cannot run on its own. A library must be imported and used in an app.
You can easily reuse your Angular library or also submit your library into npm server.
Note that libraries are intended to be used by Angular apps. To add Angular functionality to non-Angular web apps, you can use Angular custom elements.
Angular elements are Angular components packaged as custom elements (also called Web Components), a web standard for defining new HTML elements in a framework-agnostic way.
