I have a component that I use in a page and this component have tabs in it, the tabs works fine they aren't components though, they are just in the component.
This is what I'm trying to do, have a new link when clicking on a tab:
entity/someUid <-- Current behaviour
entity/someUid/messages <-- When clicking on a tab
entity/someUid/languages <-- When clicking on a tab
Page:
<app-entity
(currentTab)="getCurrentTab($event)"
></app-entity>
Page Module:
const routes: Routes = [
{
path: '',
component: EntityPage
}
];
Page Component:
// It does navigate like the example above but instead my 404 page is showing up
getCurrentTab(tab: string) {
this.router.navigate(['entity', this.entity.uid, tab]);
}
The component itself:
<ul>
<li (click)="view = 'messages'; currentTab.emit('messages')">Messages</li>
<li (click)="view = 'languages'; currentTab.emit('languages')">Languages</li>
</ul>
<div *ngIf="view == 'messages'">
Messages Content
</div>
<div *ngIf="view == 'languages'">
Languages Content
</div>
#Output() currentTab: EventEmitter<string> = new EventEmitter();
view: string
How can I make my component have routing while I still can render this component inside a page?
Try this
https://codecraft.tv/courses/angular/routing/nested-routes/
Children routes by adding one more router outlet in app entity and make the routes declared in its module

Hello I have a component which display a sub-menu like to the right this:
the html code is below
<h1>{{title}}</h1>
<ng-container *ngFor="let link of links">
<a class="vsk__button-link" [ngClass]="{'vsk__is-active': isActive(link.route)}" [routerLink]="link.route" routerLinkActive="true" *ngIf="containsRoles(link.roles)">
<label>{{link.page}}</label>
</a>
</ng-container>
As you can see I'm displaying links which comes from property binding.
And the problem is that when I'm launching the test my DOM sees only mark-up whose innerHtml is void and ng-container don't appear. Does it mean that I should create other components which till I'm allowed to access this 3 links?
for instance this is my code in karma spec.ts
beforeEach(() => {
fixture = TestBed.createComponent(SubMenuComponent);
component = fixture.componentInstance;
adminFixture.detectChanges();
});
it('should create ng-container', () => {
expect(fixture.debugElement.children[1].children).toBeTruthy();
});
I am making a react component that acts as a tablist, and it contains many tab components inside of it. I want to make an onload function in the tablist so it will reach out and link to its child tabs, but I can't figure out how to send the tablist's location to the function so the function will know which node to start at.
For other events, e.g. onclick, I can send event.target, but for this idk.
Example code, if it helps
const Tabs = ({ list, children, ignoreSession = false }: TabsProps) => {
window.addEventListener('load',initTabs(this.nodePosition)); //<-what I can't figure out
return (
<div
className={`wb-tabs`}
>
<ul role="tablist" className="generated" />
<div className="tabpanels">{children}</div>
</div>
);
};
export default Tabs;```
Updated Question for more Clarity:
Need to display some texts and links as innerHTML(data from service/DB) in the Angular HTML and when user clicks, it should go to Typescript and programmatically navigates by router.navigate
Also, How to add DomSanitizer from #ViewChild/ElementRef
Added all example in below code
Here is the updated stackblitz code
As shown in screenshot from angular.io some texts and some links
Sorry, I didn't realize you answered my comment. Angular routing is not secondary, if you don't use Angular modules you'll end up with just an HTML/CSS/Typescript application. you need at least the RouterModule for Angular to be able to use routing and hence, do what it's supposed to with the DOM.
First:
You are not importing RouterModule
solution:
imports: [
BrowserModule,
FormsModule,
RouterModule.forRoot([]) // this one
]
Second:
You can't bind Angular events through innerHTML property
fix:
Make use of #ViewChild directive to change your innerHTML property and manually bind to the click event, so change in your app.component.html from
<div id="box" [innerHTML]="shouldbedivcontent" ></div>
to
<div #box id="box"></div>
Now, in your app.component.ts, add a property to hold a reference to that "box" element so you can later make some changes to the dom with it:
#ViewChild('box') container: ElementRef;
Implement AfterViewInit, that hook is where you will be able to actually handle your container, if you try using it for example in OnInit you'd get undefined because that component's html is not in the dom yet.
export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit {
and
ngAfterViewInit() {
this.container.nativeElement.innerHTML = this.shouldbedivcontent;
this.container.nativeElement.addEventListener('click',
() => this.goto('bar')
);
}
change shouldbedivcontent property from:
'1) this is a click
<a (click)="goto("bar")">Click</a><br>
2)this is with routerlink
<a routerLink="" (click)="goto("bar")">Click</a><br>
3)This only works with href
bar and test'
to
'1) this is a click
<a id="link_1">Click</a><br>
2)this is with routerlink
<a [routerLink]="" (click)="goto(\'bar\')">Click</a><br>
3)This only works with href
bar and test'
And even so you'd still not get the default anchor style unless you apply some styling yourself.
Third
You are not HTML sanitizing, which could be dangerous. read more here
MY SUGGESTION:
Seems like a lot to do for you and a lot to read for someone else working alongside you for something you could easily do like in the example below!
Move your html to your app.component.html:
<div id="box">
1) this is a click
<a (click)="goto('bar')">Click</a><br>
2)this is with routerlink
<a routerLink="" (click)="goto('bar')">Click</a><br>
3)This only works with href
bar and test
</div>
<p>Below is actual content</p>
You'll notice that everything works now, except the anchor without routerLink or href, because that's not a link.
EDIT:
Looking at the new stackblitz, i suggest a change of approach, binding to innerHTML is ok when working with plain text or even some simple html but not a great choice to bind events or routing logic.
Angular's Renderer2 provides with a bunch of methods to dyncamically add elements to the DOM. With that on the table, you just need a little effort to take that simple html you get from your backend and turn it into something like (paste this property in your code to test it along the rest of the code provided below):
public jsonHTML = [
{
tagName: '',
text: 'some text with click ',
attributes: {
}
},
{
tagName: 'a',
text: 'bar',
attributes: {
value: 'bar' // goto parameter
}
},
{
tagName: '',
text: ' some more text with click ',
attributes: {
}
},
{
tagName: 'a',
text: 'foo',
attributes: {
value: 'foo' // goto parameter
}
}
]
Once you have it, it's way easier to create all of those elements dynamically:
this is for the code in your Q1:
Inject Renderer2 with private r2: Renderer2
And replace the Q1 related code in AfterViewInit hook to:
const parent = this.r2.createElement('div'); // container div to our stuff
this.jsonHTML.forEach((element) => {
const attributes = Object.keys(element.attributes);
const el = element.tagName && this.r2.createElement(element.tagName);
const text = this.r2.createText(element.text);
if (!el) { // when there's no tag to create we just create text directly into the div.
this.r2.appendChild(
parent,
text
);
} else { // otherwise we create it inside <a></a>
this.r2.appendChild(
el,
text
);
this.r2.appendChild(
parent,
el
);
}
if (attributes.length > 0) {
attributes.forEach((name) => {
if (el) {
this.r2.setAttribute(el, name, element.attributes[name]); // just the value attribute for now
if (name === 'value') {
this.r2.listen(el, 'click', () => {
this.goto(element.attributes[name]); // event binding with property "value" as parameter to navigate to
})
}
} else {
throw new Error('no html tag specified as element...');
}
})
}
})
this.r2.appendChild(this.container.nativeElement, parent); // div added to the DOM
No html sanitizer needed and no need to use routerLink either just inject Router and navigate to the route you want! Make improvements to the code t make it fit your needs, it should be at least a good starting point
Good Luck!
You have a css problem.
looks like a link
<a [routerLink]="something"></a> looks like a link, because if you inspect the HTML it actually gets an href property added because of routerLink
<a (click)="goTo()"></a> does NOT look like a link, because there is no href
Chrome and Safari default user agents css will not style <a> without an href (haven't confirmed Firefox but I'm sure its likely). Same thing for frameworks like bootstrap.
Updated stackblitz with CSS moved to global, not app.css
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ivy-kkgmkc?embed=1&file=src/styles.css
This will style all links as the default blue, or -webkit-link if that browser supports it. It should be in your global.css file if you want it to work through the whole app.
a {
color: rgb(0, 0, 238);
color: -webkit-link;
cursor: pointer;
text-decoration: underline;
}
this works perfectly for me :D
#Directive({
selector: "[linkify]",
})
// * Apply Angular Routing behavior, PreventDefault behavior
export class CustomLinkDirective {
#Input()
appStyle: boolean = true;
constructor(
private router: Router,
private ref: ElementRef,
#Inject(PLATFORM_ID) private platformId: Object
) {}
#HostListener("click", ["$event"])
onClick(e: any) {
e.preventDefault();
const href = e.target.getAttribute("href");
href && this.router.navigate([href]);
}
ngAfterViewInit() {
if (isPlatformBrowser(this.platformId)) {
this.ref.nativeElement.querySelectorAll("a").forEach((a: HTMLElement) => {
const href = a.getAttribute("href");
href &&
this.appStyle &&
a.classList.add("text-indigo-600", "hover:text-indigo-500");
});
}
}
}
HOW I USE IT
<p linkify
class="mt-3 text-lg text-gray-500 include-link"
[innerHtml]="apiSectionText"

The current official docs only shows how to dynamically change components within an <ng-template> tag. https://angular.io/guide/dynamic-component-loader
What I want to achieve is, let's say I have 3 components: header, section, and footer with the following selectors:
<app-header>
<app-section>
<app-footer>
And then there are 6 buttons that will add or remove each component: Add Header, Add Section, and Add Footer
and when I click Add Header, the page will add <app-header> to the page that renders it, so the page will contain:
<app-header>
And then if I click Add Section twice, the page will now contain:
<app-header>
<app-section>
<app-section>
And if I click Add Footer, the page will now contain all these components:
<app-header>
<app-section>
<app-section>
<app-footer>
Is it possible to achieve this in Angular? Note that ngFor is not the solution I'm looking for, as it only allows to add the same components, not different components to a page.
EDIT: ngIf and ngFor is not the solution I'm looking for as the templates are already predetermined. What I am looking for is something like a stack of components or an array of components where we can add, remove, and change any index of the array easily.
EDIT 2: To make it more clear, let's have another example of why ngFor does not work. Let's say we have the following components:
<app-header>
<app-introduction>
<app-camera>
<app-editor>
<app-footer>
Now here comes a new component, <app-description>, which the user wants to insert in between and <app-editor>. ngFor works only if there is one same component that I want to loop over and over. But for different components, ngFor fails here.
What you're trying to achieve can be done by creating components dynamically using the ComponentFactoryResolver and then injecting them into a ViewContainerRef. One way to do this dynamically is by passing the class of the component as an argument of your function that will create and inject the component.
See example below:
import {
Component,
ComponentFactoryResolver, Type,
ViewChild,
ViewContainerRef
} from '#angular/core';
// Example component (can be any component e.g. app-header app-section)
import { DraggableComponent } from './components/draggable/draggable.component';
#Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `
<!-- Pass the component class as an argument to add and remove based on the component class -->
<button (click)="addComponent(draggableComponentClass)">Add</button>
<button (click)="removeComponent(draggableComponentClass)">Remove</button>
<div>
<!-- Use ng-template to ensure that the generated components end up in the right place -->
<ng-template #container>
</ng-template>
</div>
`
})
export class AppComponent {
#ViewChild('container', {read: ViewContainerRef}) container: ViewContainerRef;
// Keep track of list of generated components for removal purposes
components = [];
// Expose class so that it can be used in the template
draggableComponentClass = DraggableComponent;
constructor(private componentFactoryResolver: ComponentFactoryResolver) {
}
addComponent(componentClass: Type<any>) {
// Create component dynamically inside the ng-template
const componentFactory = this.componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory(componentClass);
const component = this.container.createComponent(componentFactory);
// Push the component so that we can keep track of which components are created
this.components.push(component);
}
removeComponent(componentClass: Type<any>) {
// Find the component
const component = this.components.find((component) => component.instance instanceof componentClass);
const componentIndex = this.components.indexOf(component);
if (componentIndex !== -1) {
// Remove component from both view and array
this.container.remove(this.container.indexOf(component));
this.components.splice(componentIndex, 1);
}
}
}
Notes:
If you want to make it easier to remove the components later on, you can keep track of them in a local variable, see this.components. Alternatively you can loop over all the elements inside the ViewContainerRef.
You have to register your component as an entry component. In your module definition register your component as an entryComponent (entryComponents: [DraggableComponent]).

Angular v13 or above - simple way to add dynamic components to DOM
parent.component.html

Angular v12 or below
I have created a demo to show the dynamic add and remove process.
The parent component creates the child components dynamically and removes them.
Click for demo
Parent Component
// .ts
export class ParentComponent {
#ViewChild("viewContainerRef", { read: ViewContainerRef })
VCR: ViewContainerRef;
child_unique_key: number = 0;
componentsReferences = Array<ComponentRef<ChildComponent>>()
constructor(private CFR: ComponentFactoryResolver) {}
createComponent() {
let componentFactory = this.CFR.resolveComponentFactory(ChildComponent);
let childComponentRef = this.VCR.createComponent(componentFactory);
let childComponent = childComponentRef.instance;
childComponent.unique_key = ++this.child_unique_key;
childComponent.parentRef = this;
// add reference for newly created component
this.componentsReferences.push(childComponentRef);
}
remove(key: number) {
if (this.VCR.length < 1) return;
let componentRef = this.componentsReferences.filter(
x => x.instance.unique_key == key
)[0];
let vcrIndex: number = this.VCR.indexOf(componentRef as any);
// removing component from container
this.VCR.remove(vcrIndex);
// removing component from the list
this.componentsReferences = this.componentsReferences.filter(
x => x.instance.unique_key !== key
);
}
}
// .html
<button type="button" (click)="createComponent()">
I am Parent, Create Child
</button>
<div>
<ng-template #viewContainerRef></ng-template>
</div>
Child Component
// .ts
export class ChildComponent {
public unique_key: number;
public parentRef: ParentComponent;
constructor() {
}
remove_me() {
console.log(this.unique_key)
this.parentRef.remove(this.unique_key)
}
}
// .html
<button (click)="remove_me()">I am a Child {{unique_key}}, click to Remove</button>
Following scenario:
Tabs can come and go. My current idea which I am trying to figure out is to have a <router-view> for each tab. A named <router-view> to be exact. When a tab needs to be added I want to dynamically add a route with the viewPorts property set to the corresponding <router-view> name.
Depending on the currently opened tab I show or hide <router-view>s.
Will this work? Am I missing something?
Do you have other/better approaches to implement this and/or can provide links to examples?
You can do this in a much cleaner way by using a child router. You can configure the child router like this in your parent component's ts/js file:
configureRouter(config: RouterConfiguration, router: Router){
config.map([
{ route: 'tab-1', name: 'tab-1', moduleId: 'tab-1/tab-1', nav: 'true', title: 'Tab 1' },
{ route: 'tab-2', name: 'tab-1', moduleId: 'tab-2/tab-2', nav: 'true', title: 'Tab 2' },
{ route: 'tab-3', name: 'tab-3', moduleId: 'tab-3/tab-3', nav: 'true', title: 'Tab 3' }
)
}
Make every tab a custom element, in the above code I named them 'tab-*'.
You can then go ahead and create a new component for your tabbed navigation (you can always put the navigation logic in the parent component but I find this approach to be cleaner, mode modular and reusable)
tabnav.ts
import {bindable} from 'aurelia-framework';
import {Router} from 'aurelia-router';
export class TabnavCustomElement{
#bindable router: Router;
}
tabnav.html
<template>
<ul>
<li repeat.for="navItm of router.navigation">
<a href.bind="navItm.href" class="nav-link ${navItm.isActive ? 'active' : ''}">${navItm.title}</a>
</li>
</ul>
The you can go to parent.html and include it like this:
<tabnav router.bind="router"></tabnav>
<router-view></router-view>
The <router-view> will then change according to what the tab that you click on. If you want to share state between the tabs you can create a shared service which you can inject on each of the three custom elements.
Also every time you want to add a new tab you simply create a new custom element for that tab and place it in the router. It's the navigation component's responsibility then, to show it on screen
