Nested Component - Passing Data to a Child Component

Von


If you want to pass data to a nested component you have to use the @Import decorator. You can find this decorator at @angular/core

import { Input } from '@angular/core';

Now I show you how you can use this decorator.
In my example I want to pass a counter from a Shopping List to a Shopping Basket Component
In the end, the shopping basket should look like this:

The Shopping Basket shows the number of items in an array (Shopping List). Everytime we put an item in the basket we count the items in the array

this.counter = this.selectedProducts.length

Now we have to pass the counter to the ShoppingBasketComponent by using property binding

<app-shopping-basket [count]="counter"></app-shopping-basket>

After this we can use the input decorator at the child component
export class ShoppingBasketComponent implements OnInit {
@Input() count: any

  constructor() { }

  ngOnInit() {
  }

}

And we can use it in the HTML
  <h2>{{count}}</h2>

Summary:

Passing data from a parent to a child component is very easy. You only use property binding at the parent component and the input decorator at the child component.

Download a file with Angular2+ and FileSaver.js

Von
Why should your Angular code download a file? Of course your webserver can deliver files and you can just add a simple link to your website but what if the file is delivered by a webservice and the webservice requests authentication (i.e. OAuth) to protect the file from unauthorized access? In this case you might have the requirement to download the file in your code and then tell the browser to save it to the hard disk. How to do that?   First of all you need to add filesaver.js to your project.  npm install file-saver --save ..and add the typings npm install @types/file-saver --save-dev More information about filesaver you can find on the filesaver github pages . To download the file via http you need to implement a service. The following imports are required: import  {  Injectable  }  from   '@angular/core' ; import  {  Http ,  Response ,  RequestOptions ,  ResponseContentType  }  from   ...
