I have a textarea in the first page and when i go to next page i need this value to show in a notepad component that is shared in the next pages but at the same time i need that when i write new info in the shared component first and new information can be saved and displayed. i need to use angular2 and i cant use any stuff from github.enter image description here
Since its not a parent-child relation, you can use shared service and pass the textarea
value using setter
and getter
.
Example:
form.component.ts:
@Component({
selector: 'form1-component',
template: `
<h3>Form 1</h3>
<textarea [(ngModel)]="input"></textarea>
<button (click)="save(input)">Save</button>
`,
})
export class Form1 {
input: any;
constructor(private appState: AppState){
}
save(val){
this.appState.setData(val);
}
}
shared.service.ts:
@Injectable()
export class AppState {
public formData;
setData(value){
this.formData = value;
}
getData(){
return this.formData;
}
}
other.component.ts:
@Component({
selector: 'summary',
template: `
<h3>Summary From Form 1</h3>
<div>{{data}}</div>
`,
})
export class Summary {
data: any;
constructor(private appState: AppState){
this.data = this.appState.getData();
}
}
Plunker demo
You can use @Input
decorator if there is parent child relationship between components. Else make use of Services
or BehaviourSubject
. These are the following approaches based on priority:
- Using Services(Most Recommended).
- Using Behavior Subjects from RxJS library.
- Use Redux for state management.
- Using browser storage(session/local) but least recommended as prone
to data security.
Use cookies with ReactiveFormsModules, only saving to cookies when you have valid data.
npm install cookies-js --save
app-module.ts
...
imports: [ReactiveFormsModule]
...
MyComponent.html
...
<form [formGroup]="form">
<input name="a" formControlName="b">
</form>
...
MyComponent.ts
import {Component, OnInit} from '@angular/core';
import {FormGroup,FormBuilder,Validators} from '@angular/forms';
import * as Cookies from 'cookies-js';
export class MyComponent implements OnInit{
private static readonly COOKIE_DATA = 'data_to_save';
form : FormGroup;
constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {
this.form.fb.group({
b: ['' Validators.required]
});
}
ngOnInit() {
const data = Cookies.get(MyComponent.COOKIE_DATA);
if (data) {
this.form.setValue(JSON.parse(data));
}
this.form.valueChanges
.filter(() => this.form.valid)
.do(validData => Cookies.set(COOKIE_DATA, JSON.stringify(validData)
.subscribe()
}
}
