Angular PrimeNG checkboxes styling and events handling

 

Angular PrimeNG checkboxes styling and events handling

Getting Started With PrimeNG Styling in Angular App


This chapter I am planning to show how you can handle events of the checkboxes. For that I will use checkbox for every card to place the order. 

To use PrimeNG checkboxes you have to import checkbox module in app.module.ts file.


import {CheckboxModule} from 'primeng/checkbox';


import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { LandingComponent } from './modules/landing/landing.component';
import { HomeComponent } from './modules/home/home.component';
import { CardModule } from 'primeng/card';
import {CheckboxModule} from 'primeng/checkbox';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    LandingComponent,
    HomeComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
    CardModule,
    CheckboxModule
    
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }


Then you must import checkbox module inside your component.ts file to use it inside the html template.


import { Component, OnInit, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
import { flower } from '../../domain/flower';
import {CardModule} from 'primeng/card';
import {CheckboxModule} from 'primeng/checkbox';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-landing',
  templateUrl: './landing.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./landing.component.scss'],
  encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class LandingComponent implements OnInit {


I have added checkbox PrimeNG component inside my flower card as below.


<h1>Welcome to my flower store</h1>

<div *ngFor="let flower of myFlowerList;trackBy:trackFlowers">
        <p-card header="{{flower.name}}"  [style]="{width: '360px','float':'left','margin-bottom': '2em','margin-right': '2em','background-color':'light-pink'}" styleClass="p-card-shadow">
                <img alt="Card" width="100" height="100" src="assets/stock/{{flower.name}}.jpg">
            <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Inventore sed consequuntur error repudiandae numquam deserunt
                quisquam repellat libero asperiores earum nam nobis, culpa ratione quam perferendis esse, cupiditate neque quas!</p>
                <p-checkbox name="flower" [style]="{'margin-top': '2em'}" value="{{flower.name}}" label="Order Now" [(ngModel)]="selectedFlowers"></p-checkbox>
             
            </p-card>
    </div>


As a checkbox value I set the name property of flower object

value="{{flower.name}}" 

[(ngModel)] directive is supporting two-way binding in angular.

Two-way data binding in Angular will help users to exchange data from the component to view and from view to the component. It will help users to establish communication bi-directionally.

In order to use ngModel directive we must import the FormsModule from @angular/forms in app.module.ts file as shown below.


import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { LandingComponent } from './modules/landing/landing.component';
import { HomeComponent } from './modules/home/home.component';
import { CardModule } from 'primeng/card';
import {CheckboxModule} from 'primeng/checkbox';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { FormsModule }    from '@angular/forms';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    LandingComponent,
    HomeComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
    CardModule,
    CheckboxModule,
    CommonModule,
    FormsModule
    
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }


If you don’t import it you will get the template binding as below in your console.

Uncaught Error: Template parse errors:
Can't bind to 'ngModel' since it isn't a known property of 'p-checkbox'.

1. If 'p-checkbox' is an Angular component and it has 'ngModel' input, then verify that it is part of this module.

2. If 'p-checkbox' is a Web Component then add 'CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA' to the '@NgModule.schemas' of this component to suppress this message.

3. To allow any property add 'NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA' to the '@NgModule.schemas' of this component. ("<p-checkbox name="flower" [style]="{'margin-top': '2em'}" value="{{flower.name}}" label="Order Now" [ERROR ->][(ngModel)]="selectedFlowers"></p-checkbox>



can't bind to 'ngmodel' since it isn't a known property of 'p-checkbox'.


After that in my component.ts file I have defined the array to use in two-way binding.


import { Component, OnInit, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
import { flower } from '../../domain/flower';
import {CardModule} from 'primeng/card';
import {CheckboxModule} from 'primeng/checkbox';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-landing',
  templateUrl: './landing.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./landing.component.scss'],
  encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class LandingComponent implements OnInit {

  myFlowerList:flower[]=[];
  selectedFlowers: string[] = [];
  constructor() { }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.mySellingFlowers();
  }

  mySellingFlowers(){
    let rose = new flower();
    rose.name = "Rose";
    rose.price = 100;
    rose.availableQuantity = 1000;
    this. myFlowerList.push(rose);

    let lily = new flower();
    lily.name = "Lilly";
    lily.price = 80;
    lily.availableQuantity = 2000;
    this. myFlowerList.push(lily);

    let tulip = new flower();
    tulip.name = "Tulip";
    tulip.price = 100;
    tulip.availableQuantity = 2300;
    this. myFlowerList.push(tulip);

    let carnation = new flower();
    carnation.name = "Carnation";
    carnation.price = 50;
    carnation.availableQuantity = 1500;
    this. myFlowerList.push(carnation);

    let gerbera = new flower();
    gerbera.name = "Gerbera";
    gerbera.price = 50;
    gerbera.availableQuantity = 1500;
    this. myFlowerList.push(gerbera);

    let orchid = new flower();
    orchid.name = "Orchid";
    orchid.price = 50;
    orchid.availableQuantity = 1500;
    this. myFlowerList.push(orchid);

  }

  trackFlowers(index,flower){
    return flower?flower.name:undefined
  }
}


Now I will display the value of this array in my html file as below.


<div>You have ordered:</div>
    <ul>
        <li *ngFor="let selectedFlower of selectedFlowers">
            {{selectedFlower}}

        </li>
    </ul>


Now we have done all the coding. You will see the name of the flower in your browser is showing and hiding based on check or uncheck event of the checkboxes.

No More Database Programming Needed !

Are you tired in writing complex code for your database design? Want to be little relax? This article will help you to enjoy your job. In early days we had to write coding from the scratch to implement our database designs. Later people moved to database designing graphical tools. The latest trend of designing databases is use database navigation maps where you can visually feel your database design. This method is very useful if your database is little complex and you have lot of key constraints, referential integrity constraints, indexes and triggers etc. Using database navigation maps you can see either the entire database or part of it, how the tables are integrate each other, what are the keys you have defined for tables and references etc. Most importantly you don't need to write any single code or no need to remember complex SQL syntax.

Android: How to launch android emulator from command line or batch script?

Many Windows based Android developers are facing difficulties in running Android Studio on Windows machines due to lack of performance issues. But if you are developing mobile application using language like React Native you don’t actually need to work on Android Studio. But most of the time you have to use Android Emulators to test your application. If your windows machine does not have at least 16 GB of RAM you always face severe performance issue while running Android Emulators.   One solution to this issue is you can use your mobile phone to test react native application without running on Android Emulators. For that you only need to run Metro server on your PC and test application run on your mobile phone. But this method has drawbacks you have only one platform to test your application. If you want to test your application on multiple platforms you have to use several Emulators with different Android versions and architectures.   Another solution is without load ...
