I'm working in an Angular 4 app and I need to show a specific component in a new child window. So I research for a solution (i'm NOT looking for a solution with routing by url 'couse my server always redirec to index with window.open('some URL'), so window.open('') with ataching might be the solution) and I found this stackblitz example StackBlitz Example
in that example, are using CdkPortal
. The problem is apparently cdk portal is not in angular 4 (I'm not shure, but this error is showing @angular/cdk/portal"' has no exported member 'CdkPortal'
)
I just copy and paste the previous example 'couse is exactly what I need, but in my angular version is not working.
Is there some equivalent example for angular 4?
ADITIONAL
in the example, they are using this code fragment to show the window
<window *ngIf="showPortal">
<h2>Hello world from amother window!!</h2>
<button (click)="this.showPortal = false">Close me!</button>
</window>
so my question is... is posible to add other component inside the component that I want to atach in the portal? Something like this.
<window *ngIf="showPortal">
<my-other-component [currentValue]="someValue"></my-other-component>
</window>
If it is posible, Would the component work correctly?
Try this. This will generate a child window without use of CdkPortal.
I have used generic window.open method to open a new window. also i have used name property of window to get reference of opened window.
app.component.ts
import { Component,ComponentFactoryResolver, ViewChild, ViewContainerRef,Injector } from '@angular/core';
import { DynamicWindowComponent } from './dynamic-window/dynamic-window.component';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]
})
export class AppComponent {
injector: Injector;
OpenWindow : any
constructor(private resolver: ComponentFactoryResolver) { }
open(): void {
const componentFactory = this.resolver.resolveComponentFactory(DynamicWindowComponent);
let componentRef = componentFactory.create(this.injector);
this.OpenWindow = window.open('', 'childwindow', 'width=400,height=400,left=150,top=200');
this.OpenWindow.document.body.innerHTML = "";
this.OpenWindow.document.body.appendChild(componentRef.location.nativeElement);
}
close(){
this.OpenWindow.close()
}
}
app.component.html
<button (click)="open()">Dynamically Add Component</button>
dynamic-window.component.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-dynamic-window',
templateUrl: './dynamic-window.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./dynamic-window.component.css']
})
export class DynamicWindowComponent{
close(){
// get refence of child window by its name and close it
let existingWin = window.open('', 'childwindow');
existingWin.close();
}
}
dynamic-window.component.html
<p>Dynamic Component</p>
<button (click)="close()">Close me!</button>
