Setting selector prefix with Angular CLI

If you run this well known Angular CLI command

to create a new angular project, your selector prefix is set to

selector: 'app-root',

If you want to have another name instead of app, like f.e. the company name, you can go to the Angular CLI JSON and changing the prefix from app to companyname.

"prefix": "app",

"prefix": "companyname",

So if you create a new component with CLI, it will get companyname instead of app at the selector.
But this has no effect on the existing components. Of course you can change the name manually. But the best way is, to set the prefix right from the start.

The CLI comand for this is simple but effiktive.

That's all. Have fun at your Angular projects

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 ...

Nested Component - Passing Data to a Parent Component

In my previous article Nested Component - Passing Data to a Child Component , I explained how to pass data from a parent component to a child component. In this article I will describe how you do the other way, passing data from a child to a parent component. As you know, there is a decorator called @Input for passing data to the child, and of course there is another decorator to passing the data to the parent. This decorator is called @Output. Very obvious. So we have to import this decorator to your parent component import { Output } from '@angular/core' ; Now we can use this decorator. The property type of the decorator must be an event. The data to pass becomes the event payload. So we have to import the EventEmitter, too, because in Angular an event is defined with an EventEmitter object. import { Output , EventEmitter } from '@angular/core' ; Next step is to create a new instance of th...
