I am working on an generate dynamic template using angular 6. I have an API that return strings like below:
<button type="button" (click)="openAlert()">click me</button>
and html
<div [innerHtml]="myTemplate | safeHtml">
</div>
function is bellow:
openAlert() {
alert('hello');
}
You cannot bind angular events directly to innerHTML.
Still if you need to attach the event listeners you need to to do it after the html content is loaded.
Once the content is set to the variable, ngAfterViewInit Angular life cycle event will be triggered. Here you need to attach the required event listeners.
Checkout the working example below.
component.html
<button (click)="addTemplate()">Get Template</button>
<div [innerHTML]="myTemplate | safeHtml"></div>
component.ts
import { Component, ElementRef } from '#angular/core';
#Component({
selector: 'my-app',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]
})
export class AppComponent {
name = 'Angular';
myTemplate = '';
constructor(private elementRef:ElementRef){
}
openAlert() {
alert('hello');
}
addTemplate(){
this.myTemplate = '<button type="button" id="my-button" (click)="openAlert()">click mee</buttn>';
}
ngAfterViewChecked (){
if(this.elementRef.nativeElement.querySelector('#my-button')){
this.elementRef.nativeElement.querySelector('#my-button').addEventListener('click', this.openAlert.bind(this));
}
}
}
safe-html.pipe.ts
import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '#angular/core';
import { DomSanitizer } from '#angular/platform-browser';
#Pipe({
name: 'safeHtml'
})
export class SafeHtmlPipe implements PipeTransform {
constructor(private sanitized: DomSanitizer) {}
transform(value) {
return this.sanitized.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(value);
}
}
this should work too:
component.html
<div #template></div>
component.ts
#ViewChild('template') myTemplate: ElementRef;
addTemplate(){
this.myTemplate.nativeElement.innerHTML = '<button type="button">click me</button>';
this.myTemplate.nativeElement.addEventListener('click', this.openAlert);
}
Basically this will not work. When you write code in Angular, it is transpiled by webpack and converted to javascript that is executed in the browser.
However, now you are injecting Angular code dynamically and not building it. The event detection (click) would not work natively and the function openAlert is also not in the global scope where it is injected. You will have to consider a different approach and generate content using <ng-template> based on response from the API.

i have an issue while click binding on dynamic html.I tried setTimeout function but click event not binding on button.i have also tried template referance on button and get value with #ViewChildren but #ViewChildren showing null value.
Typscript
export class AddSectionComponent implements OnInit {
sectionList: any = [];
constructor(private elRef: ElementRef,private _httpService: CommonService ,private sanitized: DomSanitizer) { }
ngOnInit(): void {
this.getSectionList();
}
ngAfterViewInit() {
let element = this.elRef.nativeElement.querySelector('button');
if (element) {
element.addEventListener('click', this.bindMethod.bind(this));
}
}
bindMethod() {
console.log('clicked');
}
sanitizeHtml(value: string): SafeHtml {
return this.sanitized.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(value)
}
getSectionList() {
//API request
this._httpService.get('/Section/GetSectionList').subscribe(res => {
if (res) {
this.sectionList = res.json();
//sectionList is returning below HTML
//<div class="wrapper">
// <button type='button' class='btn btn-primary btn-sm'>Click Me</button>
//</div>
}
})
}
}
Template
<ng-container *ngFor="let item of sectionList">
<div [innerHTML]="sanitizeHtml(item?.sectionBody)">
</div>
//innerHTML after rendering showing this
//<div class="wrapper">
// <button type='button' class='btn btn-primary btn-sm'>Click Me</button>
//</div>
</ng-container>
Short Answer, you are binding functions inside your templates, which means you have a new html content every time change detection runs, and change detection runs everytime a function is called, which means your button keeps on being updated infinitely, that's why it never works, Read more here please.
Now on how to do this, I would listen to ngDoCheck, and check if my button has a listener, if not, I will append the listener. I will also make sure to use on Push change detection, because if not, this will ngDoCheck will be called a lot, and maybe the button will be replaced more often, not quite sure about it.
Here is how the code would look like.
html
<!-- no more binding to a function directly -->
<div #test [innerHTML]='sanitizedHtml'></div>
component
import { HttpClient } from '#angular/common/http';
import { AfterViewChecked, AfterViewInit, ChangeDetectionStrategy, ChangeDetectorRef, Component, DoCheck, ElementRef, OnDestroy, ViewChild } from '#angular/core';
import { DomSanitizer, SafeHtml } from '#angular/platform-browser';
#Component({
selector: 'my-app',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush
})
export class AppComponent implements DoCheck {
name = 'Angular';
people: any;
//now we are getting the div itself, notice the #test in the html part
#ViewChild('test')
html!: ElementRef<HTMLDivElement>;
//a property to hold the html content
sanitizedHtml!: SafeHtml;
constructor(private _http: HttpClient, private sanitized: DomSanitizer,private change: ChangeDetectorRef ) {}
ngDoCheck(): void {
//run with every change detection, check if the div content now has a button and attach the click event
if (this.html != undefined) {
let btn = this.html.nativeElement.querySelector('button');
if (btn && btn.onclick == undefined) {
btn.onclick = this.bindMethod.bind(this);
}
}
}
ngOnInit() {
this.peoples();
}
peoples() {
this._http.get('https://swapi.dev/api/people/1').subscribe((item: any) => {
const people = `<div class="wrapper">
<p>${item['name']}</p>
<button type='button' class='btn btn-primary btn-sm'>Click Me</button>
</div>`;
//assign the html content and notify change detection
this.sanitizedHtml = this.sanitized.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(people);
this.change.markForCheck();
});
}
bindMethod() {
console.log('clicked');
}
}
I don't like the approach because of the need to listen to ngDoCheck, this can run a lot, especially if you don't use onpush change detection.
I hope this helped.
I have an application created using Angular. I need to get html of template of some big component but with styles that used there for classes. How can I do that in angular? Currently I'm trying to achieve this with getting innerHTML:
const myTemplate = document.getElementById("someWrapperId");
const content = myContent.innerHTML;
It doesn't return styled html.
I also tried with setting encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None - it also doesn't help in my case.
Styles are set in component.css file and not inline.
Hi I think you can use #ViewChild and ElementRef to get the HTML content style. I have a sample code below =>
HTML:
<div #infoDiv class='col-md-2' style='color: blue;width:152px'>INFO DIV</div>
<br>
Your Color:: {{styleColor}}
<br>
Your Width:: {{styleWidth}}
TS:
import { Component, ElementRef, ViewChild } from '#angular/core';
#Component({
selector: 'my-app',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]
})
export class AppComponent {
styleColor:any='';
styleWidth:any='';
#ViewChild('infoDiv') infoDivRef: ElementRef;
ngAfterViewInit(): void {
if (this.infoDivRef.nativeElement) {
console.log(this.infoDivRef.nativeElement.style.color);
this.styleColor=this.infoDivRef.nativeElement.style.color;
this.styleWidth=this.infoDivRef.nativeElement.style.width;
}
}
}
NOTE: Code is also available in stackblitz. Please check the LINK DEMO link.
I need to know how to add to an html button the property (click) = function() of angular through Javascript.
Note: I cannot modify the HTML, I can only add the property through JavaScript.
I tested with addEventListener and it works by adding the common JavaScript click = "function" event, but not the (click) of Angular.
I attach the code:
import { Component, OnInit } from '#angular/core';
#Component({
selector: 'app-iframe',
templateUrl: './iframe.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./iframe.component.scss']
})
export class IframeComponent implements OnInit {
constructor() {}
ngOnInit() {
}
capture() {
let button = document.getElementById('cancelButton').addEventListener('(click)', this.cancel.bind(Event));
}
cancel() {
console.log('Cancelled');
}
}
And the HTML here:
<div class="row text-center pad-md">
<button id="acceptButton" mat-raised-button color="primary">OK!</button>
<button id="cancelButton" mat-raised-button>Cancel</button>
</div>
As stated by the author, the event need to be attached dynamically to the DOM element that is created after a request, so you can use Renderer2
to listen for the click event. Your code should look like this:
import { Component, OnInit, Renderer2 } from '#angular/core';
#Component({
selector: 'app-iframe',
templateUrl: './iframe.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./iframe.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
name = 'Angular';
constructor(private renderer: Renderer2) {}
ngOnInit() {}
capture() {
const button = document.getElementById('cancelButton');
console.log(button);
this.renderer.listen(button, 'click', this.cancel);
}
cancel() {
console.log('Cancelled');
}
}
There's a functional example here.
Trying to do child to parent communication with #Output event emitter but is no working
here is the child component
import { Component, OnInit, Output, Input, EventEmitter } from '#angular/core';
#Component({
selector: 'app-emiter',
templateUrl: './emiter.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./emiter.component.css']
})
export class EmiterComponent implements OnInit {
#Output() emitor: EventEmitter<any>
constructor() { this.emitor = new EventEmitter()}
touchHere(){this.emitor.emit('Should Work');
console.log('<><><><>',this.emitor) // this comes empty
}
ngOnInit() {
}
}
this is the html template
<p>
<button (click)=" touchHere()" class="btn btn-success btn-block">touch</button>
</p>
The console.log inside the touchHere it shows nothing
even if I put this inside the parent component it show nothing as well
parent component
import { Component , OnInit} from '#angular/core';
// service I use for other stuff//
import { SenderService } from './sender.service';
// I dont know if I have to import this but did it just in case
import { EmiterComponent } from './emiter/emiter.component'
#Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
title = 'app';
user: any;
touchThis(message: string) {
console.log('Not working: ${message}');
}
constructor(private mySessionService: SenderService) { }
}
and here is the html template
<div>
<app-emiter>(touchHere)='touchThis($event)'</app-emiter>
</div>
Parent component template:
<app-emitor (emitor)='touchThis($event)'></app-emiter>
In parent template #Output should be 'called', not the child method.
Also, see: https://angular.io/guide/component-interaction#parent-listens-for-child-event
Here’s an example of how we write a component that has outputs:
#Component({
selector: 'single-component',
template: `<button (click)="liked()">Like it?</button>`
})
class SingleComponent {
#Output() putRingOnIt: EventEmitter<string>;
constructor() {
this.putRingOnIt = new EventEmitter();
}
liked(): void {
this.putRingOnIt.emit("oh oh oh");
}
}
Notice that we did all three steps: 1. specified outputs, 2. created an EventEmitter that we attached
to the output property putRingOnIt and 3. Emitted an event when liked is called.
If we wanted to use this output in a parent component we could do something like this:
#Component({
selector: 'club',
template: `
<div>
<single-component
(putRingOnIt)="ringWasPlaced($event)"
></single-component>
</div>`
})
class ClubComponent {
ringWasPlaced(message: string) { console.log(`Put your hands up: ${message}`);
} }
// logged -> "Put your hands up: oh oh oh"
Again, notice that:
putRingOnIt comes from the outputs of SingleComponent
ringWasPlaced is a function on the ClubComponent
$event contains the thing that wasemitted, in this case a string
<app-emiter (emitor)="touchThis($event)" ></app-emiter>
By using #Output() you should apply the event you need to emit in the directive of the emitter component.Adding the name of the variable to the the directive and but the emitted over function inside the quotation passing the $event.
touchHere() is the method from which you are binding some value to emit with your EventEmitter. And your EventEmitter is 'emitor'.
So your code will work if you simply do the below:
<app-emiter (emitor)='touchThis($event)'></app-emiter>
I have created dynamic component instances by selecting pre-existing components. For example,
#Component({
selector: 'dynamic-component',
template: `<div #container><ng-content></ng-content></div>`
})
export class DynamicComponent {
#ViewChild('container', {read: ViewContainerRef}) container: ViewContainerRef;
public addComponent(ngItem: Type<WidgetComponent>,selectedPlugin:Plugin): WidgetComponent {
let factory = this.compFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory(ngItem);
const ref = this.container.createComponent(factory);
const newItem: WidgetComponent = ref.instance;
newItem.pluginId = Math.random() + '';
newItem.plugin = selectedPlugin;
this._elements.push(newItem);
return newItem;
}
}
My pre-existed components are ChartWidget and PatientWidget which extended the class WidgetComponent that I wanted to add in the container. For example,
#Component({
selector: 'chart-widget',
templateUrl: 'chart-widget.component.html',
providers: [{provide: WidgetComponent, useExisting: forwardRef(() => ChartWidget) }]
})
export class ChartWidget extends WidgetComponent implements OnInit {
constructor(ngEl: ElementRef, renderer: Renderer) {
super(ngEl, renderer);
}
ngOnInit() {}
close(){
console.log('close');
}
refresh(){
console.log('refresh');
}
...
}
chart-widget.compoment.html (using primeng Panel)
<p-panel [style]="{'margin-bottom':'20px'}">
<p-header>
<div class="ui-helper-clearfix">
<span class="ui-panel-title" style="font-size:14px;display:inline-block;margin-top:2px">Chart Widget</span>
<div class="ui-toolbar-group-right">
<button pButton type="button" icon="fa-window-minimize" (click)="minimize()"</button>
<button pButton type="button" icon="fa-refresh" (click)="refresh()"></button>
<button pButton type="button" icon="fa-expand" (click)="expand()" ></button>
<button pButton type="button" (click)="close()" icon="fa-window-close"></button>
</div>
</div>
</p-header>
some data
</p-panel>
data-widget.compoment.html (same as chart-widget using primeng Panel)
#Component({
selector: 'data-widget',
templateUrl: 'data-widget.component.html',
providers: [{provide: WidgetComponent, useExisting: forwardRef(() =>DataWidget) }]
})
export class DataWidget extends WidgetComponent implements OnInit {
constructor(ngEl: ElementRef, renderer: Renderer) {
super(ngEl, renderer);
}
ngOnInit() {}
close(){
console.log('close');
}
refresh(){
console.log('refresh');
}
...
}
WidgetComponent.ts
#Component({
selector: 'widget',
template: '<ng-content></ng-content>'
})
export class WidgetComponent{
}
Now I added the components by selecting a component from the existed components (e.g. chart-widget and data-widget) in the following way and stored the instances into an array.
#Component({
templateUrl: 'main.component.html',
entryComponents: [ChartWidget, DataWidget],
})
export class MainComponent implements OnInit {
private elements: Array<WidgetComponent>=[];
private WidgetClasses = {
'ChartWidget': ChartWidget,
'DataWidget': DataWidget
}
#ViewChild(DynamicComponent) dynamicComponent: DynamicComponent;
addComponent(): void{
let ref= this.dynamicComponent.addComponent(this.WidgetClasses[this.selectedComponent], this.selectedComponent);
this.elements.push(ref);
this.dynamicComponent.resetContainer();
}
}
Now, I am facing problem to render the components using innerHtml in main.component.html. It render the html but I am not able to use button click event or other event on it. I have also tried to render chart using primeng but its also not working.
main.component.html
<dynamic-component [hidden]="true" ></dynamic-component>
<widget *ngFor="let item of elements">
<div [innerHTML]="item._ngEl.nativeElement.innerHTML | sanitizeHtml">
</div>
</widget>
I have also implemented a sanitizeHtml Pipe but its giving still same result. So, as I understand innerHTML is only showing the html data but I can't use any button event as well as the js chart. I have also tried to show the items like this {{item}} under tag. But it display like a text [object object]. So, could anyone give a solution for it? How can I render the components allowing the button events and js chart? Thanks.
EDIT: See my Plunker here https://plnkr.co/edit/lugU2pPsSBd3XhPHiUP1?p=preview
You can see here, it is possible to add chart or data widget dynamically and I am showing it using innerHTML. So, the button events are not working here. If I coding like {{item}} then it shows [object object] text. You can also see in console the component array data. The main Question is, How can I active the button events on it (e.g. if i click close or refresh button then it will call the related functions)?
I would create structural directive like:
view.directive.ts
import { ViewRef, Directive, Input, ViewContainerRef } from '#angular/core';
#Directive({
selector: '[view]'
})
export class ViewDirective {
constructor(private vcRef: ViewContainerRef) {}
#Input()
set view(view: ViewRef) {
this.vcRef.clear();
this.vcRef.insert(view);
}
ngOnDestroy() {
this.vcRef.clear()
}
}
then
app.component.ts
private elements: Array<{ view: ViewRef, component: WidgetComponent}> = [];
...
addComponent(widget: string ): void{
let component = this.dynamicComponent.addComponent(this.WidgetClasses[widget]);
let view: ViewRef = this.dynamicComponent.container.detach(0);
this.elements.push({view,component});
this.dynamicComponent.resetContainer();
}
and
app.component.html
<widget *ngFor="let item of elements">
<ng-container *view="item.view"></ng-container>
</widget>
So i have just moved view from dynamic component container to desired place.
