Services

Event Bus

How to import:

import { EventBusService } from '@vakhramoff/angular-utils';

Import service in any component's constructor:

constructor(private eventBus: EventBusService) {}

How to emit

Emit your message:

this.eventBus.emit({
  type: 'TEST_MESSAGE',
  payload: ['Test message payload']
});

How to subscribe

Listen to a specific type of messages in other part of your Angular app:

this.eventBus.on('TEST_MESSAGE').subscribe((payload) => {
  // do what you want with a payload...
});

---

Decorators

HTTP Error Handler

Just decorate your methods which return Observables this way:

class DataEndpointService {
  // ...
  @HandleHttpErrors()
  public getData(param: string): Observable<DataContract> {
    return this.http.get<DataContract>(`${environment.apiUrl}/data`);
  }
  // ...
}

The decorator takes one parameter (showAlert) whics is true by default, so if you catch any error, it will show a browser alert. In addition to that, this Decorator logs error into a console.

Directives

How to import:

import {
  DirectivesModule as AngularUtilsDirectivesModule
} from '@vakhramoff/angular-utils';

@NgModule({
  // ...
  imports: [
    // ...
    AngularUtilsDirectivesModule,
    // ^ add DirectivesModule to @NgModule.imports section
    // ...
  ],
  // ...
})

Cursor

Changes the cursor style on the element.

Single-time Usage

Use in your template:

<div [cursor]="'pointer'">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Variable Binding

Or bind to some variable from the component:

• example.component.ts:

  public currentCursor: TCursorType = this.isEnabled ? 'pointer' : 'default';
  

• example.component.html:

  <div [cursor]="currentCursor">
    <!-- ... -->
  </div>
  

Debounce Time

Shows the element after the given amount of milliseconds.

Single-time Usage

Use in your template:

<div *debounceTime="1000">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Variable Binding

You can bind to some variable from the component.

NOTE: Timer restarts on a variable change!

• example.component.ts:

  public showAfterMilliseconds: number = 5000;
  

• example.component.html:

  <div *debounceTime="showAfterMilliseconds">
    <!-- ... -->
  </div>

import {
  PipesModule as AngularUtilsPipesModule
} from '@vakhramoff/angular-utils';

@NgModule({

    // ^ add PipesModule to @NgModule.imports section
    // ...
  ],

<span class="current-date">
  {{ today | toLocaleString }}
</span>

Component Usage

Use in your component:

@Component({
  // ...
  providers: [ToLocaleStringPipe],
  // ^ add ToLocaleStringPipe to @Component.providers section
})

// Inject the Pipe
constructor(private toLocaleStringPipe: ToLocaleStringPipe) {}

// Use the pipe
this.toLocaleStringPipe.transform(this.myValue);
