How to add class to a div when hovered on the div.
Template -
<div class="red">On hover add class ".yellow"</div>
Component -
import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
@Component({
selector: 'hello-world',
templateUrl: 'src/hello_world.html',
styles: [`
.red {
background: red;
}
.yellow {
background: yellow;
}
`]
})
export class HelloWorld {
}
Demo
[ NOTE - I specifically want to add a new class and not modify the existing classes ]
Sigh! It is such a normal use case and I do not see any straight forward solution yet!
You can also just use something like:
[ngClass]="color" (mouseover)="changeStyle($event)" (mouseout)="changeStyle($event)"
Then in the component
color:string = 'red';
changeStyle($event){
this.color = $event.type == 'mouseover' ? 'yellow' : 'red';
}
Plunker
Alternatively, do everything in the markup:
[ngClass]="color" (mouseover)="color='yellow'" (mouseout)="color='red'"
Simple as below
<button [class.btn-success]="mouseOvered"
(mouseover)="mouseOvered=true"
(mouseout)="mouseOvered=false"> Hover me </button>
LIVE DEMO
Not to dirty the code I just coded simple hover-class
directive.
<span hover-class="btn-primary" class="btn" >Test Me</span>
Running Sample
Code Editor stackblitz
Here below the directive,
import { Directive, HostListener, ElementRef, Input } from '@angular/core';
@Directive({
selector: '[hover-class]'
})
export class HoverClassDirective {
constructor(public elementRef:ElementRef) { }
@Input('hover-class') hoverClass:any;
@HostListener('mouseenter') onMouseEnter() {
this.elementRef.nativeElement.classList.add(this.hoverClass);
}
@HostListener('mouseleave') onMouseLeave() {
this.elementRef.nativeElement.classList.remove(this.hoverClass);
}
}
In case you set the styles programmatically (e.g. from an attribute in the component) and want it to change on hover, you can have a look at this Plunker demo.
It also answers the question when multiple elements have to respond to the mouseover event.
Here is the code:
@Component({
selector: 'app',
template: `
<div id="1"
(mouseover)="showDivWithHoverStyles(1)"
(mouseout)="showAllDivsWithDefaultStyles()"
[ngStyle]="hoveredDivId ===1 ? hoveredDivStyles : defaultDivStyles">
The first div
</div>
<div id="2"
(mouseover)="showDivWithHoverStyles(2)"
(mouseout)="showAllDivsWithDefaultStyles()"
[ngStyle]="hoveredDivId === 2 ? hoveredDivStyles : defaultDivStyles">
The second div
</div>`
})
class App{
hoveredDivId;
defaultDivStyles= {height: '20px', 'background-color': 'white'};
hoveredDivStyles= {height: '50px', 'background-color': 'lightblue'};
showDivWithHoverStyles(divId: number) {
this.hoveredDivId = divId;
}
showAllDivsWithDefaultStyles() {
this.hoveredDivId = null;
}
}
@HostListener
decorator is also a good option if you are applying on entire component.
keep the html as it is and in the component add @HostListener
<div class="red">On hover add class ".yellow"</div>
@HostListener('mouseenter') onMouseEnter() {
this.elementRef.nativeElement.class = 'red';
}
@HostListener('mouseleave') onMouseLeave() {
this.elementRef.nativeElement.class = 'yellow';
}
