Web Components with Angular
Enabling Web Component in Angular is easy. The only thing you have to do is turn on CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA
in your ngModule. After that, you can use web components like any other component. No wrappers needed. The following is an example of how to use kemet-modal
in a Angular application.
Notice that in app.module.ts
we've imported CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA
and used it in ngModule
.
import { NgModule, CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA } from '@angular/core';
...
@NgModule({
...
schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]
})
That's it. You can now use the Web Component.
Handling Custom Events in Angular
You should note that in the example we need to handle the custom event kemet-modal-closed
. This is because when the overlay from the modal is clicked, the modal is automatically closed. Kemet Modal fires kemet-modal-closed
every time the modal is closed. When need to tap into this event to tell our class member isDrawerOpened
to return to a value of false. You can do this by using HostListener
. Simply give the first argument of HostListener the name of the event you want to listen to. In this case kemet-modal-closed
. You can read more on HostListener in the angular docs.
import { Component, HostListener } from '@angular/core';
import 'kemet-ui';
...
export class AppComponent {
@HostListener('kemet-modal-closed', ['$event.target'])
onClose(modal) {
console.log(modal);
this.isDrawerOpened = false;
}
isDrawerOpened = false;
openDrawer() {
this.isDrawerOpened = true;
}
}
The second argument simply captures the element that triggered the event (the modal) and we log it to the console just as an example of this.
Finally, if you checkout app.component.html
you'll notice that you write the HTML for the component like you any standard HTML. Just make sure to use property bindings when working with dynamic data.
<main>
<button (click)="openDrawer()">Open Modal</button>
</main>
<kemet-modal close-on-click effect="fade" [opened]="isDrawerOpened">
...
</kemet-modal>
