Creating an item component

Components provide a way for you to organize your application. This article walks you through creating a component to handle the individual items in the list, and adding check, edit, and delete functionality. the Angular event model is covered here.

Prerequisites: Familiarity with the core HTML , CSS ,和 JavaScript languages, knowledge of the terminal/command line .
Objective: To learn more about components, including how events work to handle updates. To add check, edit, and delete functionality.

Creating the new component

At the command line, create a component named item with the following CLI command:

ng generate component item

						

ng generate component command creates a component and folder with the name you specify. Here, the folder and component name is item . You can find the item directory within the app 文件夹。

Just as with the AppComponent ItemComponent is made up of the following files:

  • item.component.html for HTML
  • item.component.ts for logic
  • item.component.css for styles

You can see a reference to the HTML and CSS files in the @Component() decorator metadata in item.component.ts .

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

						

Add HTML for the ItemComponent

ItemComponent can take over the task of giving the user a way to check items off as done, edit them, or delete them.

Add markup for managing items by replacing the placeholder content in item.component.html with the following:

<div class="item">
  <input [id]="item.description" type="checkbox" (change)="item.done = !item.done" [checked]="item.done" />
  <label [for]="item.description">{{item.description}}</label>
  <div class="btn-wrapper" *ngIf="!editable">
    <button class="btn" (click)="editable = !editable">Edit</button>
    <button class="btn btn-warn" (click)="remove.emit()">Delete</button>
  </div>
  <!-- This section shows only if user clicks Edit button -->
  <div *ngIf="editable">
    <input class="sm-text-input" placeholder="edit item" [value]="item.description" #editedItem (keyup.enter)="saveItem(editedItem.value)">
    <div class="btn-wrapper">
      <button class="btn" (click)="editable = !editable">Cancel</button>
      <button class="btn btn-save" (click)="saveItem(editedItem.value)">Save</button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

						

The first input is a checkbox so users can check off items when an item is complete. The double curly braces, {{}} , in the <input> and <label> for the checkbox signifies Angular's interpolation. Angular uses {{item.description}} to retrieve the description of the current item 数组。 The next section explains how components share data in detail.

The next two buttons for editing and deleting the current item are within a <div> . On this <div> *ngIf , a built-in Angular directive that you can use to dynamically change the structure of the DOM.

This *ngIf means that if editable is false , this <div> is in the DOM. If editable is true , Angular removes this <div> from the DOM.

<div class="btn-wrapper" *ngIf="!editable">
  <button class="btn" (click)="editable = !editable">Edit</button>
  <button class="btn btn-warn" (click)="remove.emit()">Delete</button>
</div>

						

When a user clicks the 编辑 button, editable becomes true, which removes this <div> and its children from the DOM. If, instead of clicking 编辑 , a user clicks 删除 ItemComponent raises an event that notifies the AppComponent of the deletion.

An *ngIf is also on the next <div> , but is set to an editable value of true . In this case, if editable is true , Angular puts the <div> and its child <input> and <button> elements in the DOM.

<!-- This section shows only if user clicks Edit button -->
<div *ngIf="editable">
  <input class="sm-text-input" placeholder="edit item" [value]="item.description" #editedItem (keyup.enter)="saveItem(editedItem.value)">
  <div class="btn-wrapper">
    <button class="btn" (click)="editable = !editable">Cancel</button>
    <button class="btn btn-save" (click)="saveItem(editedItem.value)">Save</button>
  </div>
</div>

						

采用 [value]="item.description" , the value of the <input> is bound to the description of the current item. This binding makes the item's description the value of the <input> . So if the description is eat description is already in the <input> . This way, when the user edits the item, the value of the <input> is already eat .

The template variable, #editedItem , on the <input> means that Angular stores whatever a user types in this <input> in a variable called editedItem . keyup event calls the saveItem() method and passes in the editedItem value if the user chooses to press enter instead of click 保存 .

When a user clicks the 取消 button, editable toggles to false , which removes the input and buttons for editing from the DOM. 当 editable is false , Angular puts <div> 采用 编辑 and 删除 buttons back in the DOM.

点击 保存 button calls the saveItem() 方法。 saveItem() method takes the value from the #editedItem <input> and changes the item's description to editedItem.value 字符串。

Prepare the AppComponent

In the next section, you will add code that relies on communication the AppComponent ItemComponent . Configure the AppComponent first by adding the following to app.component.ts :

remove(item) {
  this.allItems.splice(this.allItems.indexOf(item), 1);
}

						

remove() method uses the JavaScript Array.splice() method to remove one item at at the indexOf the relevant item. In plain English, this means that the splice() method removes the item from the array. 对于更多信息有关 splice() method, see the MDN Web Docs article on Array.prototype.splice() .

Add logic to ItemComponent

要使用 ItemComponent UI, you must add logic to the component such as functions, and ways for data to go in and out.

item.component.ts , edit the JavaScript imports as follows:

import { Component, Input, Output, EventEmitter } from '@angular/core';
import { Item } from "../item";

						

The addition of 输入 , 输出 ,和 EventEmitter allows ItemComponent to share data with AppComponent . By importing Item , ItemComponent can understand what an item is.

Further down item.component.ts , replace the generated ItemComponent class with the following:

export class ItemComponent {
  editable = false;
  @Input() item: Item;
  @Input() newItem: string;
  @Output() remove = new EventEmitter<Item>();
  saveItem(description) {
    if (!description) return;
    this.editable = false;
    this.item.description = description;
  }
}

						

editable property helps toggle a section of the template where a user can edit an item. editable is the same property in the HTML as in the *ngIf statement, *ngIf="editable" . When you use a property in the template, you must also declare it in the class.

@Input() , @Output() ,和 EventEmitter facilitate communication between your two components. An @Input() serves as a doorway for data to come into the component, and an @Output() acts as a doorway for data to go out of the component. An @Output() has to be of type EventEmitter , so that a component can raise an event when there's data ready to share with another component.

使用 @Input() to specify that the value of a property can come from outside of the component. 使用 @Output() in conjunction with EventEmitter to specify that the value of a property can leave the component so that another component can receive that data.

saveItem() method takes as an argument a description . description is the text that the user enters into the HTML <input> when editing an item in the list. This description is the same string from the <input> 采用 #editedItem template variable.

If the user doesn't enter a value but clicks 保存 , saveItem() returns nothing and does not update the description . If you didn't have this if statement, the user could click 保存 with nothing in the HTML <input> ,和 description would become an empty string.

If a user enters text and clicks save, saveItem() sets editable to false, which causes the *ngIf in the template to remove the edit feature and render the 编辑 and 删除 buttons again.

Though the application should compile at this point, you need to use the ItemComponent in AppComponent so you can see the new features in the browser.

Use the ItemComponent in the AppComponent

Including one component within another in the context of a parent-child relationship gives you the flexibility of using components wherever you need them.

AppComponent serves as a shell for the application where you can include other components.

要使用 ItemComponent in AppComponent , put the ItemComponent selector in the AppComponent template. Angular specifies the selector of a component in the metadata of the @Component() decorator. In this example, the selector is app-item :

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

						

要使用 ItemComponent selector within the AppComponent , you add the element, <app-item> , which corresponds to the selector you defined for the component class to app.component.html . Replace the current unordered list in app.component.html with the following updated version:

<h2>{{items.length}} <span *ngIf="items.length === 1; else elseBlock">item</span>
<ng-template #elseBlock>items</ng-template></h2>
<ul>
  <li *ngFor="let item of items">
    <app-item (remove)="remove(item)" [item]="item"></app-item>
  </li>
</ul>

						

The double curly brace syntax, {{}} , in the <h2> interpolates the length of the array and displays the number.

<span> <h2> uses an *ngIf and else to determine whether the <h2> should say "item" or "items". If there is only a single item in the list, the <span> containing "item" displays. Otherwise, if the length of the array is anything other than 1 <ng-template> , which we've named elseBlock , with the syntax #elseBlock , shows instead of the <span> . You can use Angular's <ng-template> when you don't want content to render by default. In this case, when the length of the array is not 1 *ngIf shows the elseBlock and not the <span> .

<li> uses Angular's repeater directive, *ngFor , to iterate over all of the items in the 数组。 Angular's *ngFor like *ngIf , is another directive that helps you change the structure of the DOM while writing less code. For each item , Angular repeats the <li> and everything within it, which includes <app-item> . This means that for each item in the array, Angular creates another instance of <app-item> . For any number of items in the array, Angular would create that many <li> 元素。

You can use an *ngFor on other elements, too, such as <div> , <span> ,或 <p> , to name a few.

AppComponent 拥有 remove() method for removing the item, which is bound to the remove property in the ItemComponent . item property in the square brackets, [] , binds the value of item between the AppComponent ItemComponent .

Now you should be able to edit and delete items from the list. When you add or delete items, the count of the items should also change. To make the list more user-friendly, add some styles to the ItemComponent .

Add styles to ItemComponent

You can use a component's style sheet to add styles specific to that component. The following CSS adds basic styles, flexbox for the buttons, and custom checkboxes.

Paste the following styles into item.component.css .

.item {
  padding: .5rem 0 .75rem 0;
  text-align: left;
  font-size: 1.2rem;
}
.btn-wrapper {
  margin-top: 1rem;
  margin-bottom: .5rem;
}
.btn {
  /* menu buttons flexbox styles */
  flex-basis: 49%;
}
.btn-save {
  background-color: #000;
  color: #fff;
  border-color: #000;
}
.btn-save:hover {
  background-color: #444242;
}
.btn-save:focus {
  background-color: #fff;
  color: #000;
}
.checkbox-wrapper {
  margin: .5rem 0;
}
.btn-warn {
  background-color: #b90000;
  color: #fff;
  border-color: #9a0000;
}
.btn-warn:hover {
  background-color: #9a0000;
}
.btn-warn:active {
  background-color: #e30000;
  border-color: #000;
}
.sm-text-input {
  width: 100%;
  padding: .5rem;
  border: 2px solid #555;
  display: block;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  font-size: 1rem;
  margin: 1rem 0;
}
/* Custom checkboxes

/* Base for label styling */
[type="checkbox"]:not(:checked),
[type="checkbox"]:checked {
  position: absolute;
  left: -9999px;
}
[type="checkbox"]:not(:checked) + label,
[type="checkbox"]:checked + label {
  position: relative;
  padding-left: 1.95em;
  cursor: pointer;
}
/* checkbox aspect */
[type="checkbox"]:not(:checked) + label:before,
[type="checkbox"]:checked + label:before {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  left: 0; top: 0;
  width: 1.25em; height: 1.25em;
  border: 2px solid #ccc;
  background: #fff;
}
/* checked mark aspect */
[type="checkbox"]:not(:checked) + label:after,
[type="checkbox"]:checked + label:after {
  content: '\2713\0020';
  position: absolute;
  top: .15em; left: .22em;
  font-size: 1.3em;
  line-height: 0.8;
  color: #0d8dee;
  transition: all .2s;
  font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Arial Unicode MS', Arial;
}
/* checked mark aspect changes */
[type="checkbox"]:not(:checked) + label:after {
  opacity: 0;
  transform: scale(0);
}
[type="checkbox"]:checked + label:after {
  opacity: 1;
  transform: scale(1);
}
/* accessibility */
[type="checkbox"]:checked:focus + label:before,
[type="checkbox"]:not(:checked):focus + label:before {
  border: 2px dotted blue;
}

						

摘要

You should now have a styled Angular to-do list application that can add, edit, and remove items. The next step is to add filtering so that you can look at items that meet specific criteria.
