Rg-Container

Dynamic component rendering container -

• Widget styling
• Data sharing using inputs/context

Installing

npm install rg-container

Importing

Import the entire module -

important! use withComponents([])/entryComponents: [] method for all components rendered via rg-container

// module.ts file
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { RgContainerModule } from 'rg-container';
import { SampleComponent } from './sample/sample.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    SampleComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    RgContainerModule.withComponents([SampleComponent])
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

##Usage

html

<rg-container [options]="options"></rg-container>

ts (Make sure all rendered components were stated in RgContainerModule.withComponents([SampleComponent])/entryComponents:[SampleComponent])

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { IRgContainerOptions } from 'rg-container';
import { SampleComponent } from './sample/sample.component';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {

  options: IRgContainerOptions = {
    // Passing data in context shared between components, container, and this component
    context: {
      something: {
        0: 1422
      }
    },
    // Styling of rg-container
    style: {
      display: 'flex',
      'align-items': 'center',
      'justify-content': 'center',
      'flex-direction': 'column',
      background: 'green',
      width: '250px',
      height: '800px',
      overflow: 'auto'
    },
    // Array of Widgets.
    widgets: [
      {
        // Styling the widget (passes component's containing div)
        style: {
          padding: '15px',
          margin: '15px',
          width: '200px',
          height: '540px',
          'border-radius': '10px',
          background: 'blue',
          overflow: 'hidden'
        },
        // Rendered component
        component: SampleComponent,
        // Dictionry of inputs passed to component
        inputs: {
          data: ['string', 'another string']
        }
      }
    ]
  };

}

Component Data Sharing

You can share data with the rendered component using two methods -

• passing inputs through IRgContainerOptions's inputs dictionary.
• using rgInit method which passes context of type T (passed through IRgContainerOptions's context field)

import { Component, Input, OnDestroy, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { IRgWidgetParams, IRgWidgetComponent } from 'rg-container';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-sample',
  templateUrl: './sample.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./sample.component.css']
})
export class SampleComponent implements OnInit, IRgWidgetComponent, OnDestroy {

  context: any;
  constructor() { }

  ngOnInit() {
  }

  @Input()
  data: string[];

  rgInit(params: IRgWidgetParams<any>) {
    this.context = params.context;
  }

}
