Is there a way to get the encapsulation host id that is given to a component?
If you have a component that is using ViewEncapsulation.Emulated
the element in the DOM will have an attribute name of something like _nghost-par-2.
Which, is a unique ID given to the component to encapsulate the associated styles.
How do you get that ID as part of the component's constructor?
Something to the effect of:
@Component({
hostId:string;
...
})
export class myComponent implements OnInit {
constructor(host:Host) {
this.hostId = host.id;
}
...
}
This ID consists of the following parts:
_nghost - par - 2
| | |
static APP_ID _nextCompTypeId
APP_ID is a just token from @angular/core
If you need to avoid randomly generated value to be used as an
application id, you can provide a custom value via a DI provider
configuring the root Injector using this token
_nextCompTypeId is generated inside framework within private class ViewUtils
.
Seems there is no a public method which can return it value. So probably the following will work
export class MyComponent {
id: string;
constructor(@Inject(APP_ID) appId: string, vcRef: ViewContainerRef) {
this.id = `${appId}-${vcRef.injector['_view'].viewUtils._nextCompTypeId - 1}`;
}
}
Another way is get it from attributes
via elementRef
