Class Overview
class EventEmitter extends Subject {
constructor(isAsync?: boolean)
emit(value?: T)
subscribe(generatorOrNext?: any, error?: any, complete?: any) : any
}
Class Component
@Component({
selector: 'zippy',
template: `
<div class="zippy">
<div (click)="toggle()">Toggle</div>
<div [hidden]="!visible">
<ng-content></ng-content>
</div>
</div>`})
export class Zippy {
visible: boolean = true;
@Output() open: EventEmitter<any> = new EventEmitter();
@Output() close: EventEmitter<any> = new EventEmitter();
toggle() {
this.visible = !this.visible;
if (this.visible) {
this.open.emit(null);
} else {
this.close.emit(null);
}
}
}
Emmiting Events
<zippy (open)="onOpen($event)" (close)="onClose($event)"></zippy>
Catching the event
Create a service-
import {EventEmitter} from 'angular2/core';
export class NavService {
navchange: EventEmitter<number> = new EventEmitter();
constructor() {}
emitNavChangeEvent(number) {
this.navchange.emit(number);
}
getNavChangeEmitter() {
return this.navchange;
}
}
Create a component to use the service-
import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
import {NavService} from '../services/NavService';
@Component({
selector: 'obs-comp',
template: `obs component, item: {{item}}`
})
export class ObservingComponent {
item: number = 0;
subscription: any;
constructor(private navService:NavService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.subscription = this.navService.getNavChangeEmitter()
.subscribe(item => this.selectedNavItem(item));
}
selectedNavItem(item: number) {
this.item = item;
}
ngOnDestroy() {
this.subscription.unsubscribe();
}
}
@Component({
selector: 'my-nav',
template:`
<div class="nav-item" (click)="selectedNavItem(1)">nav 1 (click me)</div>
<div class="nav-item" (click)="selectedNavItem(2)">nav 2 (click me)</div>
`,
})
export class Navigation {
item = 1;
constructor(private navService:NavService) {}
selectedNavItem(item: number) {
console.log('selected nav item ' + item);
this.navService.emitNavChangeEvent(item);
}
}
