Follow me to be notified about new releases.

ngx-inline-editor is a library of Angular (version 4+) that allows you to create editable elements. Such technique is also known as click-to-edit or edit-in-place. It is based on ideas of angular-xeditable which is developed in AngularJS.

Basically it does not depend on any libraries except Angular4 itself. For themes you may need to include Twitter Bootstrap CSS.

Quick start

1. A recommended way to install ngx-inline-editor is through npm package manager using the following command:

npm i @qontu/ngx-inline-editor --save

2. Include the basic theme or configure your own styles which are in the following path:

dist/themes/bootstrap.css

3. Include Twitter Bootstrap and FontAwesome in your project.

Usage

Angular (4+) and later

Import InlineEditorModule into your app's modules:

import {InlineEditorModule} from '@qontu/ngx-inline-editor';

@NgModule({
  imports: [

  ]
})

This makes all the @qontu/ngx-inline-editor components available for use in your app components.

@Component({
    selector: 'my-component',

    <div>
        <inline-editor type="text" [(ngModel)]="editableText" (onSave)="saveEditable($event)" name="editableText1" size="8"></inline-editor>
    </div>
    <div>

        <inline-editor type="select" [(ngModel)]="editableSelect" (onSave)="saveEditable($event)" [options]="editableSelectOptions"
        value="valor"></inline-editor>
  </div>`
})
export class MyComponent {
  title = 'My component!';

  editableText = 'myText';
  editablePassword = 'myPassword';
  editableTextArea = 'Text in text area';
  editableSelect = 2;
  editableSelectOptions =[
    {value: 1, text: 'status1'},
    {value: 2, text: 'status2'},

Select

Basic example

<inline-editor
        type="select"
        [(ngModel)]="editableSelect"
        (onSave)="saveEditable($event)"
        name="editableSelect"
        disabled="false"
        [options]="editableSelectOptions"></inline-editor>

• name string Defines the name of an <input> element. Default is undefined.
• disabled boolean If set to true, a disabled input element is unusable and un-clickable. Default is false.
• options Array<optionItem> | Object:{ data: Array<optionItem, value:string, text: string } Array of items from which to select. Should be an array of objects with value and text properties. Is possible to configure key-value parameters using an object that specifies these fields and data.

Typescript code:

  editableSelect = 2;
  editableSelectOptions =[
    {value: 1, text: 'status1'},
    {value: 2, text: 'status2'},
    {value: 3, text: 'status3'},
    {value: 4, text: 'status4'}
  ];

  saveEditable(value) {
    //call to http server
    console.log('http.server: ' + value);

  }

Parameter's configuration example

• editableSelect number Specifies the default's value of the select.
• editableSelectOptions Array<optionItem> | Object: { data: Array<optionItem, value:string, text: string } Specifies the array of items from which to select. Should be an array of objects with value and text properties. Is possible to configure key-value parameters using an object that specifies these fields and data.

Typescript code:

  editableSelect = 2;
  editableSelectOptionsConfiguration = {
    data: [
      { id: 1, field: 'status1' },
      { id: 2, field: 'status2' },
      { id: 3, field: 'status3' },
      { id: 4, field: 'status4' }
    ],
    value: 'id',
    text: 'field'
  }

  saveEditable(value) {
    //call to http server
    console.log('http.server: ' + value);

  }

Children example

Is possible to configure sublevels/children to generate the select using an array of objects called children.

Typescript code:

 editableSelectOptionsTwoLevelsDefault = 1;
  editableSelectOptionsTwoLevelsConfiguration = {
    data: [
      {
        id: 1, field: 'status1',
        children: [
          { id: 5, field: 'status1.1' },
          { id: 6, field: 'status1.2' }
        ]
      },
      { id: 2, field: 'status2' },
      { id: 3, field: 'status3' },
      {
        id: 4, field: 'status4',
        children: [{ id: 7, field: 'status4.1' }]
      }
    ],
    value: 'id',
    text: 'field'
  }

Empty components

  <inline-editor
  type="text"
  ngModel
  empty="My custom message"
  (onSave)="saveEditable($event)"
  (onError)="handleError"
  name="editableText1"
  size="8"
  min="3"
  max="5"></inline-editor>

  <inline-editor type="select"
                [(ngModel)]="editableSelectDoesntExist"
                (onSave)="saveEditable($event)"
                [options]="editableSelectOptionsConfiguration"></inline-editor>

• empty string Specifies the default message to display if there are not ngModel for the component. If the type is select then the default selected element is the first element of the options array.

a.c-inline-editor {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #428bca;
  border-bottom: dashed 1px #428bca;
  cursor: pointer;
