I have a Side Navigation with a docking feature and a data table in Main View. Upon un-docking the side navigation, the data table in Main View does not recalculate (this will leave some empty space that the Side Navigation came from) so I need to recalculate manually upon click. However, problem lies in the fact that the Side Navigation and Data Table are two different directives.
PS. I have multiple modules with different data table names
Same Problem here: https://github.com/swimlane/ngx-datatable/issues/193#issuecomment-334809144
I made it using MutationObserver
which tracks style change for left menu and sets DatatableComponent
width.
@Directive({ selector: '[sidePanelToggle]' })
export class SidePanelToggleDirective implements OnDestroy {
private changes: MutationObserver;
wasVisible: boolean | undefined;
constructor(
private elementRef: ElementRef,
@Host() @Self() private tableComponent: DatatableComponent
) {
this.changes = new MutationObserver((mutations: MutationRecord[]) => {
mutations.forEach((mutation: MutationRecord) => {
const sideNavElement = mutation.target as HTMLElement;
const tableElement = this.elementRef.nativeElement as HTMLElement;
const isVisible = sideNavElement?.style.visibility === 'visible';
if (this.wasVisible === undefined || this.wasVisible && !isVisible || !this.wasVisible && isVisible) {
if (tableElement.style.width) {
tableElement.style.width = `${SidePanelToggleDirective.floatOrZero(tableElement.style.width) + (isVisible ? -sideNavElement.offsetWidth : sideNavElement.offsetWidth)}px`;
console.log('Already set before, now will be ', tableElement.style.width);
}
else {
tableElement.style.width = `${tableElement.offsetWidth + (isVisible ? -sideNavElement.offsetWidth : sideNavElement.offsetWidth)}px`;
console.log('Setting first time as ', tableElement.style.width);
}
this.tableComponent.recalculate();
}
this.wasVisible = isVisible;
});
});
document.querySelectorAll('mat-sidenav[position="start"]').forEach(element => {
this.changes.observe(element, { attributeFilter: ['style'] });
});
}
private static floatOrZero(value: any) {
const result = parseFloat(value);
return isNaN(result) ? 0 : result;
}
ngOnDestroy(): void {
this.changes.disconnect();
}
}
Change in markup is minimal:
<ngx-datatable sidePanelToggle ...
