I am trying to bind data inside a div using [innerHtml]. How to notify angular to use the variables instead of the raw text. Here is my setup :
<div *ngFor="let data of someData">
<div *ngFor="let odata of someOtherData;trackBy:id">
<div [innerHTML]="odata.template | pipeToSanitize"></div>
</div>
</div>
The data looks like this :
someOtherData = [{
'id': 1,
'template': '<div class="{{data.class}}"><md-icon>{{data.icon}}</md-icon></div>'
},
{
'id': 2,
'template': '<div>{{data.timestampStr}}</div>'
},
{
'id': 3,
'template': '<div>{{data.message}}</div>'
}]
someData = [{
'message': 'Message 1',
'timestampStr': '2016/12/13 09:25:00',
'class': 'events-warn-color',
'icon': 'warning'
},
{
'message': 'Message 2',
'timestampStr': '2016/12/13 10:36:00',
'class': 'events-warn-color',
'icon': 'warning'
}];
Now I am getting {{data.icon}},etc. as it is. How can replace this with the contents from 'someOtherData' object. Thanks in advance
You have to create compiler directive to evaluate the template string:
compile.directive.ts
@Directive({
selector: '[compile]'
})
export class CompileDirective implements OnChanges {
@Input() compile: string;
@Input() compileContext: any;
compRef: ComponentRef<any>;
constructor(private vcRef: ViewContainerRef, private compiler: Compiler) {}
ngOnChanges() {
if(!this.compile) {
if(this.compRef) {
this.updateProperties();
return;
}
throw Error('You forgot to provide template');
}
this.vcRef.clear();
this.compRef = null;
const component = this.createDynamicComponent(this.compile);
const module = this.createDynamicModule(component);
this.compiler.compileModuleAndAllComponentsAsync(module)
.then((moduleWithFactories: ModuleWithComponentFactories<any>) => {
let compFactory = moduleWithFactories.componentFactories.find(x => x.componentType === component);
this.compRef = this.vcRef.createComponent(compFactory);
this.updateProperties();
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
});
}
updateProperties() {
for(var prop in this.compileContext) {
this.compRef.instance[prop] = this.compileContext[prop];
}
}
private createDynamicComponent (template:string) {
@Component({
selector: 'custom-dynamic-component',
template: template,
})
class CustomDynamicComponent {}
return CustomDynamicComponent;
}
private createDynamicModule (component: Type<any>) {
@NgModule({
// You might need other modules, providers, etc...
// Note that whatever components you want to be able
// to render dynamically must be known to this module
imports: [CommonModule],
declarations: [component]
})
class DynamicModule {}
return DynamicModule;
}
}
Template
<div *ngFor="let data of someData">
<div *ngFor="let odata of someOtherData;">
<ng-container *compile="odata.template; context:{data:data}"></ng-container>
</div>
</div>
You still need to deal with angular material module , I haven't impliment that to my online example, just check compile direactive comment
stackblitz template compile
Check this Angular2, evaluate template from string inside a component
Why use [innerHTML]
?
Try
<div>{{odata.template | pipeToSanitize}}</div>
[innerHtml] is great option in most cases, but it fails with really large strings or when you need hard-coded styling in html.
you can check for answers in the following to get a good idea. Specially Piotrek's answer
Angular HTML binding
EDITED: can you try this too:
<div *ngFor="let data of someData">
<div *ngFor="let odata of getData(data);trackBy:id">
<div [innerHTML]="odata.template | pipeToSanitize"></div>
</div>
</div>
getDataFormated(data:any):any{
return [{
'id': 1,
'template': '<div class="{{data.class}}"><md-icon>{{data.icon}}</md-icon></div>'
},
{
'id': 2,
'template': '<div>{{data.timestampStr}}</div>'
},
{
'id': 3,
'template': '<div>{{data.message}}</div>'
}]
}
