@hapiness/custom-elements-loader

CUSTOM-ELEMENTS-LOADER

This module exposes a factory to use ElementsLoaderService inside JavaScript's applications like React.js, Vue.js or just standalone.

DON'T USE THIS MODULE FOR ANGULAR APPLICATION

Installation

$ yarn add @hapiness/custom-elements-loader

or

$ npm install --save @hapiness/custom-elements-loader

All required dependencies will be automatically installed : @angular/animations, @angular/common, @angular/core, @angular/compiler, @angular/elements, @angular/platform-browser, @angular/platform-browser-dynamic, @hapiness/ng-elements-loader, core-js, document-register-element, rxjs and zone.js.

If your custom element module must have more dependencies, you must install them by yourself

Usage

Before to use ElementsLoader exposed by @hapiness/custom-elements-loader, you must create your own custom-elements modules.

To create a new library with Angular-CLI, follow this guide.

1) made-with-love custom element

- Component

This component will be the final custom-element interpreted in your browser.

projects/made-with-love/src/lib/made-with-love.component.ts:

import { Component, Input, OnInit, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'made-with-love',
  templateUrl: './made-with-love.component.html',
  encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.Native
})
export class MadeWithLoveComponent implements OnInit {
  private _name: string;
  private _url: string;
  private _color: string;
  private _size: number;

  constructor() {
    this.size = 1;
    this.color = 'red';
  }

  ngOnInit() {
    if (!this._name || this._name.length === 0) {
      console.error(`Name attribute must be provided!`);
    }
  }
  
  get name(): string {
    return this._name;
  }
  
  @Input()
  set name(n: string) {
    this._name = n;
  }
  
  get url(): string {
    return this._url;
  }

  @Input()
  set url(u: string) {
    this._url = u;
  }
  
  get color(): string {
    return this._color;
  }

  @Input()
  set color(c: string) {
    this._color = c;
  }
  
  get size(): number {
    return this._size;
  }

  @Input()
  set size(s: number) {
    this._size = s;
  }
}

Note: Your component must have encapsulation equals to ViewEncapsulation.Native.

projects/made-with-love/src/lib/made-with-love.component.html:

<ng-template #noUrl>
  {{ name }}
</ng-template>
<span [style.font-size.em]="size">
  Made with <span [style.color]="color">♥</span> by
  <ng-container *ngIf="url && url.length > 0; else noUrl">
    <a [attr.href]="url" target="_blank">{{ name }}</a>
  </ng-container>
</span>

- Module

projects/made-with-love/src/lib/made-with-love.module.ts:

import { NgModule, Type } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { WithCustomElementComponent } from '@hapiness/ng-elements-loader';
import { MadeWithLoveComponent } from './made-with-love.component';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    CommonModule
  ],
  declarations: [
    MadeWithLoveComponent
  ],
  entryComponents: [
    MadeWithLoveComponent
  ],
  exports: [
    MadeWithLoveComponent
  ]
})
export class MadeWithLoveModule implements WithCustomElementComponent {
  customElementComponent: Type<MadeWithLoveComponent> = MadeWithLoveComponent;
}

Note: Your module must implement WithCustomElementComponent interface exposed by @hapiness/ng-elements-loader and, component must be declared inside entryComponents and declaration meta-data of NgModule.

- Dependencies

The minimum package.json file for your module is described below:

projects/made-with-love/package.json:

{
  "name": "made-with-love",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "peerDependencies": {
    "@hapiness/custom-elements-loader": "^6.3.1"
  }
}

If your module has to have others dependencies not installed automatically by @hapiness/custom-elements-loader like explained in installation, you must add them in dependencies section.

- Publish your module

Your custom-element module is now ready to be used so you have to publish it before use it in your application.

2) made-with-love custom element in your JavaScript application

Create a JavaScript application with your module and @hapiness/ng-elements-loader in dependencies.

Install all dependencies your module must have if not already installed.

- Application contains made-with-love custom element

We create a HTMLfile with our custom element inside.

index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0">
    <title>Web Component</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
    <made-with-love name="Hapiness Framework" url="https://github.com/hapinessjs/" size="2"></made-with-love>
</div>

<script src="./main.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
</html>

main.js file contains all JavaScript elements to use ElementsLoader and it's built with webpack.

main.ts

// POLYFILLS
import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import 'document-register-element';

import { ElementsLoader } from '@hapiness/custom-elements-loader';
import { MadeWithLoveModule } from 'made-with-love';

ElementsLoader.loadContainingCustomElements(
    {
        selector: 'made-with-love',
        module: MadeWithLoveModule
    }
).subscribe(undefined, e => console.error(e));

- Explanation

The creation of the custom element happens directly inside HTML file with all attributes we want to display:

<made-with-love name="Hapiness Framework" url="https://github.com/hapinessjs/" size="2"></made-with-love>

Loading of the component happens inside main.ts file.

• Add required polyfills

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import 'document-register-element';

• Additional polyfills can be added if needed:

/** IE9, IE10 and IE11 requires all of the following polyfills. **/
// import 'core-js/es6/symbol';
// import 'core-js/es6/object';
// import 'core-js/es6/function';
// import 'core-js/es6/parse-int';
// import 'core-js/es6/parse-float';
// import 'core-js/es6/number';
// import 'core-js/es6/math';
// import 'core-js/es6/string';
// import 'core-js/es6/date';
// import 'core-js/es6/array';
// import 'core-js/es6/regexp';
// import 'core-js/es6/map';
// import 'core-js/es6/weak-map';
// import 'core-js/es6/set';

/** IE10 and IE11 requires the following for NgClass support on SVG elements */
// import 'classlist.js';  // Run `npm install --save classlist.js`.

/** IE10 and IE11 requires the following for the Reflect API. */
// import 'core-js/es6/reflect';

• We call loadContainingCustomElements method of ElementsLoader from @hapiness/custom-elements-loader. This method takes in parameter CustomElementModuleSelector or CustomElementModuleSelector[] from @hapiness/ng-elements-loader.

export interface CustomElementModuleSelector {
    selector: string;
    module: Type<any>;
}

Selector is the custom tag of your custom element and module is the Angular module contains the component.

- Show the result

Launch your application and you will see your custom element displayed inside your JavaScript application:

Made with ♥ by Hapiness Framework

3) Custom element with custom event

In the previous component we have created only @Input properties but sometimes, you'll want to emit event from your custom element to the DOM with @Ouput properties.

- Custom element

Here an example of a component emits event to its parent:

projects/hello-world/src/lib/hello-world.component.ts:

import { Component, EventEmitter, OnInit, Output, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'hello-world',
  templateUrl: './hello-world.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./hello-world.component.scss'],
  encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.Native
})
export class HelloWorldComponent implements OnInit {
  private _sayHello$: EventEmitter<string>;

  constructor() {
    this._sayHello$ = new EventEmitter<string>();
  }

  ngOnInit() {
  }
  
  @Output('sayHello')
  get sayHello$(): EventEmitter<string> {
    return this._sayHello$;  
  }

  sayHello() {
    this._sayHello$.emit('Hello World');
  }
}

projects/hello-world/src/lib/hello-world.component.html:

<div>
  <button type="button" (click)="sayHello()">Say Hello with Event</button>
</div>

- Use it in your application

To use it and receive event, you must do this:

index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0">
    <title>Web Component</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
    <hello-world></hello-world>
</div>

<script src="./main.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
</html>

We set a listener to catch sayHello event and do what we want:

main.ts

// POLYFILLS
import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import 'document-register-element';

import { ElementsLoader } from '@hapiness/custom-elements-loader';
import { HelloWorldModule } from 'hello-world';

ElementsLoader.loadContainingCustomElements(
    {
        selector: 'hello-world',
        module: HelloWorldModule
    }
).subscribe(undefined, e => console.error(e));

document.querySelector('hello-world').addEventListener('sayHello', (event: any) => alert(event.detail));
