How to write a directive to compare password in Ionic 2.
I have written a custom directive syntax which is fetching the current text field value,but i need to fetch the other text field value to compare, which is not possible through directive
*this is my custom directive
#Directive({
selector: '[compare-password]', // Attribute selector
host: {
'(input)': 'ionChangesss($event)'
}
})
export class ComparePasswordDirective {
private elRef : ElementRef;
constructor(public el: ElementRef, renderer: Renderer) {
this.elRef = el;
}
ionChangesss(eve) {
}
I have created a model based form on a component, however the submit button is placed on a different component.
right now when you press the button this function is triggerd:
#Input()
form: any;
...
if(this.form.valid)
this.saveDefinition();
however I want to "send a signal" back to my component with the form if the form is invalid. If the form is invalid it should highlight all the invalid fields (Like it would when you would submit the form on the same component).
I've searched for a while and I can't even find out if this is possible, if it is possible can you guys help me get on my way?
thanks
you can use services, as follow:
form.service.ts file
#Injectable()
export class FormService {
onFormSubmitted = new EventEmitter<any>();
}
then register this service in the appModule providers appModue.ts file
providers: [
...
FormService
...
]
firstComponent.ts file
#Component({
...
});
export class FirstComponent implements{
constructor( public formService:FormService) {}
onFormSubmit(formData:any) {
this.formService.onFormSubmitted.emit(formData);
}
}
secondComponent.ts file
export class SecondComponent implements OnInit{
constructor ( public formService:FormService ) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.formService.onFormSubmitted.subscribe( (formData : any ) => {
this.onFormSubmit(formData);
})
}
onFormSubmit(formData : any) {
// your logic for submitting the form
}
}
the first and the second component have the same instance of FormService, so they have the same instance of the eventEmitter, the first component emitting the event when the form is submitting and the second component is listening to it.
its called cross-component communication using services.
I am new to Angular 2 and TypeScript and I'm trying to follow best practices.
Instead of using a simple JavaScript model ({ }), I'm attempting to create a TypeScript class.
However, Angular 2 doesn't seem to like it.
My code is:
import { Component, Input } from "#angular/core";
#Component({
selector: "testWidget",
template: "<div>This is a test and {{model.param1}} is my param.</div>"
})
export class testWidget {
constructor(private model: Model) {}
}
class Model {
param1: string;
}
and I'm using it as:
import { testWidget} from "lib/testWidget";
#Component({
selector: "myComponent",
template: "<testWidget></testWidget>",
directives: [testWidget]
})
I'm getting an error from Angular:
EXCEPTION: Can't resolve all parameters for testWidget: (?).
So I thought, Model isn't defined yet... I'll move it to the top!
Except now I get the exception:
ORIGINAL EXCEPTION: No provider for Model!
How do I accomplish this??
Edit: Thanks to all for the answer. It led me to the right path.
In order to inject this into the constructor, I need to add it to the providers on the component.
This appears to work:
import { Component, Input } from "#angular/core";
class Model {
param1: string;
}
#Component({
selector: "testWidget",
template: "<div>This is a test and {{model.param1}} is my param.</div>",
providers: [Model]
})
export class testWidget {
constructor(private model: Model) {}
}
I'd try this:
Split your Model into a separate file called model.ts:
export class Model {
param1: string;
}
Import it into your component. This will give you the added benefit of being able to use it in other components:
Import { Model } from './model';
Initialize in the component:
export class testWidget {
public model: Model;
constructor(){
this.model = new Model();
this.model.param1 = "your string value here";
}
}
Access it appropriately in the html:
#Component({
selector: "testWidget",
template: "<div>This is a test and {{model.param1}} is my param.</div>"
})
I want to add to the answer a comment made by #PatMigliaccio because it's important to adapt to the latest tools and technologies:
If you are using angular-cli you can call ng g class model and it will generate it for you. model being replaced with whatever naming you desire.
The problem lies that you haven't added Model to either the bootstrap (which will make it a singleton), or to the providers array of your component definition:
#Component({
selector: "testWidget",
template: "<div>This is a test and {{param1}} is my param.</div>",
providers : [
Model
]
})
export class testWidget {
constructor(private model: Model) {}
}
And yes, you should define Model above the Component. But better would be to put it in his own file.
But if you want it to be just a class from which you can create multiple instances, you better just use new.
#Component({
selector: "testWidget",
template: "<div>This is a test and {{param1}} is my param.</div>"
})
export class testWidget {
private model: Model = new Model();
constructor() {}
}
export class Car {
id: number;
make: string;
model: string;
color: string;
year: Date;
constructor(car) {
{
this.id = car.id;
this.make = car.make || '';
this.model = car.model || '';
this.color = car.color || '';
this.year = new Date(car.year).getYear();
}
}
}
The || can become super useful for very complex data objects to default data that doesn't exist.
.
.
In your component.ts or service.ts file you can deserialize response data into the model:
// Import the car model
import { Car } from './car.model.ts';
// If single object
car = new Car(someObject);
// If array of cars
cars = someDataToDeserialize.map(c => new Car(c));
In your case you are having model on same page, but you have it declared after your Component class, so that's you need to use forwardRef to refer to Class. Don't prefer to do this, always have model object in separate file.
export class testWidget {
constructor(#Inject(forwardRef(() => Model)) private service: Model) {}
}
Additionally you have to change you view interpolation to refer to correct object
{{model?.param1}}
Better thing you should do is, you can have your Model Class define in different file & then import it as an when you require it by doing. Also have export before you class name, so that you can import it.
import { Model } from './model';
my code is
import { Component } from '#angular/core';
class model {
username : string;
password : string;
}
#Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
username : string;
password : string;
usermodel = new model();
login(){
if(this.usermodel.username == "admin"){
alert("hi");
}else{
alert("bye");
this.usermodel.username = "";
}
}
}
and the html goes like this :
<div class="login">
Usernmae : <input type="text" [(ngModel)]="usermodel.username"/>
Password : <input type="text" [(ngModel)]="usermodel.password"/>
<input type="button" value="Click Me" (click)="login()" />
</div>
You can use the angular-cli as the comments in #brendon's answer suggest.
You might also want to try:
ng g class modelsDirectoy/modelName --type=model
/* will create
src/app/modelsDirectoy
├── modelName.model.ts
├── ...
...
*/
Bear in mind:
ng g class !== ng g c
However, you can use ng g cl as shortcut depending on your angular-cli version.
I realize this is a somewhat older question, but I just wanted to point out that you've add the model variable to your test widget class incorrectly. If you need a Model variable, you shouldn't be trying to pass it in through the component constructor. You are only intended to pass services or other types of injectables that way. If you are instantiating your test widget inside of another component and need to pass a model object as, I would recommend using the angular core OnInit and Input/Output design patterns.
As an example, your code should really look something like this:
import { Component, Input, OnInit } from "#angular/core";
import { YourModelLoadingService } from "../yourModuleRootFolderPath/index"
class Model {
param1: string;
}
#Component({
selector: "testWidget",
template: "<div>This is a test and {{model.param1}} is my param.</div>",
providers: [ YourModelLoadingService ]
})
export class testWidget implements OnInit {
#Input() model: Model; //Use this if you want the parent component instantiating this
//one to be able to directly set the model's value
private _model: Model; //Use this if you only want the model to be private within
//the component along with a service to load the model's value
constructor(
private _yourModelLoadingService: YourModelLoadingService //This service should
//usually be provided at the module level, not the component level
) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.load();
}
private load() {
//add some code to make your component read only,
//possibly add a busy spinner on top of your view
//This is to avoid bugs as well as communicate to the user what's
//actually going on
//If using the Input model so the parent scope can set the contents of model,
//add code an event call back for when model gets set via the parent
//On event: now that loading is done, disable read only mode and your spinner
//if you added one
//If using the service to set the contents of model, add code that calls your
//service's functions that return the value of model
//After setting the value of model, disable read only mode and your spinner
//if you added one. Depending on if you leverage Observables, or other methods
//this may also be done in a callback
}
}
A class which is essentially just a struct/model should not be injected, because it means you can only have a single shared instanced of that class within the scope it was provided. In this case, that means a single instance of Model is created by the dependency injector every time testWidget is instantiated. If it were provided at the module level, you would only have a single instance shared among all components and services within that module.
Instead, you should be following standard Object Oriented practices and creating a private model variable as part of the class, and if you need to pass information into that model when you instantiate the instance, that should be handled by a service (injectable) provided by the parent module. This is how both dependency injection and communication is intended to be performed in angular.
Also, as some of the other mentioned, you should be declaring your model classes in a separate file and importing the class.
I would strongly recommend going back to the angular documentation reference and reviewing the basics pages on the various annotations and class types:
https://angular.io/guide/architecture
You should pay particular attention to the sections on Modules, Components and Services/Dependency Injection as these are essential to understanding how to use Angular on an architectural level. Angular is a very architecture heavy language because it is so high level. Separation of concerns, dependency injection factories and javascript versioning for browser comparability are mainly handled for you, but you have to use their application architecture correctly or you'll find things don't work as you expect.
create model.ts in your component directory as below
export module DataModel {
export interface DataObjectName {
propertyName: type;
}
export interface DataObjectAnother {
propertyName: type;
}
}
then in your component import above as,
import {DataModel} from './model';
export class YourComponent {
public DataObject: DataModel.DataObjectName;
}
your DataObject should have all the properties from DataObjectName.
Due to the fact that I am new in meteor/react I can't figure out how to initialize my state variable.
My problem is that I would like to get
my mongo collection through the createContainer from react-meteor-data (as described here),
use the initialized prop to intialize the state variable
But the prop in the constructor is empty. Only when I the "gotClicked" function is called the prop.allLists is filled with the data from mongo.
Does anyone know why? My guess the data is loaded asynchronously, so that the data is not available yet in the constructor.
What would be a better way to get the data?
import React, {Component, PropTypes} from 'react';
import { createContainer } from 'meteor/react-meteor-data';
import {AllLists} from '../api/alllists.js'
export default class MyList extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super();
console.log(props.allLists)
console.log(this.props.allLists)
//allLists is empty
this.state = {
lists: props.allLists
}
}
gotClicked(){
console.log(this.props.allLists)
//allLists is filled
}
render() {
return (
<div className="container" onClick={this.gotClicked.bind(this)}>
</div>
);
}
}
MyList.propTypes = {
allLists: PropTypes.string.isRequired
}
export default createContainer(() => {
return {
allLists: AllLists.find({}).fetch()
};
}, MyList);
You're right, the data is loaded asynchronously, and it might not be available in the constructor. However, the callback function you pass to createContainer is evaluated again when the data is loaded, and it automatically updates the props of your component.
To catch this change, implement the componentWillReceiveProps function in your React component.
componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) {
this.setState({
lists: nextProps.allLists
});
}

I am trying to add Parent annotation in Angular2 alpha31.
I use this import statement:
import {Parent} from 'angular2/annotations';
I have also added the following to angular2.d.ts:
declare module "angular2/annotations" {
function Parent(): (target: any) => any;
function Ancestor(): (target: any) => any;
}
My .ts file looks like this:
/// <reference path='../../../../../typings/angular2/angular2.d.ts' />
import {Component, View} from 'angular2/angular2';
import {Parent} from 'angular2/annotations';
import {Messenger} from 'components/messenger/messenger';
#Component({
selector : 'compose',
hostInjector : [Messenger]
})
#View({
templateUrl: 'components/compose/compose.html'
})
export class Compose {
title : string;
message : string;
messenger : Messenger;
constructor(#Parent messenger:Messenger){
this.messenger = messenger;
}
}
But I keep getting:
Uncaught TypeError: decorator is not a function
What am I missing? :)
Thanks!
I found the problem:
constructor(#Ancestor #Inject(forwardRef(() => Messenger)) messenger : Messenger) {
this.title = "I am the composer! I am child element of Messenger"
}
Using this and removing "hostInjector : [ Messenger ]" fixed my problem. Thanks for the suggestions.
I believe the way to do this in alpha-37 is #Host.
constructor(#Host() tabs:Tabs)
Instead of #Parent, this has at least proved successful to me.
