Hide/show individual items inside ngFor
5 answers
Can some one please let me know how to toggle icons while doing ngFor?
Problem Statement:
I'm using *ngFor to loop through an array and display category names. On click of day I need to open an accordian and show category details (I can do this).
Once accordian opens I need to replace fa-plus icon with fa-minus and vice-versa and I need to do this only for clicked day.
How can I achieve this effectively?
this.categoryList = [
{type: 'space', name: 'Space'},
{type: 'energy', name: 'Energy'},
{type: 'comfort', name: 'Comfort'},
{type: 'maintenance', name: 'Maintenance'},
{type: 'reporting', name: 'Reporting'}
];
HTML
<div class="{{category.type}}" *ngFor="let category of categoryList">
<div data-toggle="collapse" [attr.href]="'#'+'category-'+category.type">
<div class="title {{category.name}}">{{category.name}}</div>
<div>
<i class="fa fa-plus"></i> //needs to toggle between plus and minus
<i class="fa fa-minus"></i> //needs to toggle between plus and minus
</div>
</div>
<div class="collapse" id="category-{{category.type}}">
//details
</div>
</div>
If I understand you right you can have just one <i>
on the page instead of having two:
template:
<div *ngFor="let day of daysInAWeek; let i = index">
<div>{{day}}</div>
<div>
<i class="fa" [ngClass]="toggle[i] ? 'fa-plus': 'fa-minus'" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</div>
<div class="details">Today is {{day}}</div>
<button (click)="toggle[i] = !toggle[i]">Toggle</button>
</div>
ts:
daysInAWeek: string[] = ['Mo', 'Tu', 'We', 'Th', 'Fr', 'Sa', 'Su'];
toggle = {};
So you can toggle just toggle classes on that element to be fa-plus
or fa-minus
You can put (click)="toggle[i] = !toggle[i]
on any html element inside your *ngFor
temlpate so it will trigger the toggle on click for related <i>
element.
1) You will need a variable that stores which day is currently selected.
public SelectedDay:string = null;
2) Then on click, set selected day,
<div (click)="SelectedDay=day">{{day}}</div>
3) Check if selected day is the same day in loop using *ngIf
or hidden
<i class="fa fa-plus" *ngIf="SelectedDay!=day" aria-hidden="true"></i>
<i class="fa fa-minus" *ngIf="SelectedDay==day" aria-hidden="true"></i>
Your final HTML should look like this -
<div *ngFor="let day of daysInAWeek">
<div (click)="SelectedDay=day">{{day}}</div>
<div>
<i class="fa fa-plus" *ngIf="SelectedDay!=day" aria-hidden="true"></i>
<i class="fa fa-minus" *ngIf="SelectedDay==day" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</div>
<div class="details">Today is {{day}}</div>
</div>
This should work.
