Setting selector prefix with Angular CLI

Von
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

Utilize 3rd party Javascript libraries in your Angular 2+ application with CLI

Von
Not everything is available as a native Typescript library. Due to that sometimes you might need to use 3rd party libraries. After creating a new project with Angular CLI you will experience that VS Code does not know any libraries you have imported in the header tag and the compiler complains when you try to use this libraries. The reason is: You are missing the typings. The typings describe the functionality of the libary and make that available in your project through intellisense and for the compiler. But before you start creating your own typings do the following checks: 1. Does the vendor of the library provide the typings? If yes, install through npm 2. Are the typings available on definitely typed ? If yes, then take it from there. If this is not the case then you can do your own typings. If you want to do that properly, then you should write the complete set of typings for the library and upload to definitely typed to provide it for the community. OK, this might b...

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.
