Mutation Observer API for Angular

Part of Web APIs for Angular

npm version npm bundle size Travis (.com) Coveralls github angular-open-source-starter

This is a library for declarative use of Mutation Observer API with Angular.

Install

If you do not have @ng-web-apis/common:

npm i @ng-web-apis/common

Now install the package:

npm i @ng-web-apis/mutation-observer

Usage

Add MutationObserverModule and then use (waMutationObserver)="onMutation($event)" directive to watch mutation in an element.

Alternatively use an Observable-based MutationObserverService manually to get MutationObserver in an RxJS Observable form.

Configuring

Use attributes on an element to define MutationObserverInit config object. All attributes are boolean meaning no need to explicitly set them to true.

NOTE: Keep in mind these are used one time in constructor so you cannot use binding, only strings. Pass comma separated attribute names to set attributeFilter array.

Example

<div
    subtree
    childList
    characterData
    attributeFilter="title, aria-label"
    [title]="title"
    [attr.aria-label]="label"
    (waMutationObserver)="onMutation($event)"
>
    ...
</div>
