Is there a way to include an external html file, I've been unable to use templateUrl, it keeps appending the base to the start of the url.
@Component({
selector: 'enroll-header',
templateUrl: 'http://blank.blank.com/somecool.html'
})
it'll try to find it at "./http://blank.blank.com/somecool.html"
and fail
Using an external URL in templateURL is not supported (possibly because it exposes you to security risks). As a workaround you can use a template with your component that binds to and displays a single variable. Then you can set the variable equal to the html you want to render. Please check these two similar SO questions:
I believe all of the templateUrl are relative to the root of your application, so I don't think this would work.
I ended up using a scrape job to get the new html files, and then addded a serverside include command in my index.html file to append them.
import { Directive, ElementRef, Input, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Headers, Http, Response } from '@angular/http';
@Directive({ selector: 'ngInclude' })
export class NgIncludeDirective implements OnInit {
@Input('src')
private templateUrl: string;
@Input('type')
private type: string;
constructor(private element: ElementRef, private http: Http) {
}
parseTemplate(res: Response) {
if (this.type == 'template') {
this.element.nativeElement.innerHTML = res.text();
} else if (this.type == 'style') {
var head = document.head || document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var style = document.createElement('style');
style.type = 'text/css';
style.appendChild(document.createTextNode(res.text()));
head.appendChild(style);
}
}
handleTempalteError(err) {
}
ngOnInit() {
//Loads the HTML and bind it to the view
this.
http.
get(this.templateUrl).
map(res => this.parseTemplate(res)).
catch(this.handleTempalteError.bind(this)).subscribe(res => {
console.log(res);
});
}
}
