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.

Building robust APIs with Node.js

Node.js is a popular open-source JavaScript runtime environment that allows developers to build scalable and high-performance web applications. One of the key strengths of Node.js is its ability to build APIs quickly and efficiently. APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, allow different systems to communicate with each other, enabling data exchange and other operations. Building robust APIs with Node.js requires an understanding of RESTful architecture, which is a widely adopted standard for creating APIs. RESTful APIs provide a standardized way to expose data and functionality over the web using a set of HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. To build a robust Node.js API, developers must choose an appropriate framework and set up a development environment. They should also handle errors and exceptions, implement authentication and authorization, and use middleware to enhance the functionality of the API. Writing test cases, documenting the API using tools such as Swa...
