Typescript: json2ts is a nice helper

Writing interfaces can be annoying.

You can save a lot of time when you have to define Typescript interfaces for data that you are loading from a webservice.
Instead of typing all the interfaces yourself you can just use a nice service in the web: json2ts

Just paste in your json code and it generates the corresponding interfaces in Typescripts.

Example JSON:

[
{
"city": "Berlin",
"country": "Germany",
"currencies": [{"code":"EUR"}]
},
{
"city": "Paris",
"country": "France",
"currencies": [{"code":"EUR"}]
}

]

Generated code:

declare module namespace {

export interface Currency {
code: string;
}

export interface RootObject {
city: string;
country: string;
currencies: Currency[];
}

}

Now you just have to rename the 'RootObject' to a name you like.

Check it out here: http://json2ts.com/

For the case you need c# code try this http://json2csharp.com/. Both services are based on the JSON C# Class Generator.

Thanks to Timmy Kokke and Jonathan Keith for giving that to the community.

Angular 2: Multiple instances in the same Application

Requirement: Use multiple Root-Components in the same Application This Root-Components use the same Implementations and Services Display the Root-Components on the same Single-Page Solution: App-Module preparation: import { BrowserModule, DOCUMENT } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { NgModule, Inject, Component } from '@angular/core'; export class AppModule { private browser_document; ngDoBootstrap(appRef){ if(this.browser_document.getElementsByTagName('app-root1').length > 0){appRef.bootstrap(AppComponent1);} if(this.browser_document.getElementsByTagName('app-root2').length > 0){appRef.bootstrap(AppComponent2);} } constructor(@Inject(DOCUMENT) private document: any){ this.browser_document = document; } } Service preparation: Angular 2 has two options to provide a service. 1. Single instance For a multiple implementation of more Root-Components we need the second opt...

Nested Component - Passing Data to a Child Component

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 ...

How to implement a search field in Angular X that starts some action as soon as you stop typing

Everybody knows the Google search that displays some recommendations while you are typing. Some times when you are developing an application you might need a similar functionality for implementing a kind of free text search to quickly find results in a long list of data stored in a database that might be filtered and delivered by a webservice in the background. The requirement: The search should happen without clicking a button but it should not start right after each single character you have typed. It should wait a short moment and after you have stopped typing immediately start the search. The implementation is quite simple and the same way you could do that in Javascript. First we need to prepare our template to have an input field in which the user can type in a search string. Whenever the user types a character a function should be called. This is done with the keyup event. (keyup)="searchChanged($event)" In our component we have to defin...
