I'm working on an Angular4 project and I have created a filter on my app.component.ts which I'm currently using on my app.component.html.
<button (click)="filterBy('cars')">Cars</button>
This works fine in this file by I want to use this same filter on my nav.component.html but I'd like to avoid recreating the filter code again on the nav.component.ts.
Is there a way of using this filter on my nav.component.html from app.component.ts ?
Migrate your created filter code in some new .ts file. Import this file in your app.component and other components by using import {ClassName} from file.ts syntax and then easily implement it in your component html code
You can create service, for example "filter.service.ts". Good thing in service is - it will create only one instance. So you use less memory, and app is faster. Then - you can include it to the parent module:
import { FilterService } from "some/filter.service.ts";
@NgModule({
declarations: [ AppComponent, NavComponent],
providers: [ FilterService ]
})
export class MyModule { }
And use in your components like this:
import { FilterService } from "some/filter.service.ts";
constructor(filter: FilterService) {
this.filter = filter;
}
And then your html:
<button (click)="filter.filterBy('cars')">Cars</button>
@Injectable()
export class Service{
//create all the logic here for all the things you want to be shared across compponents
}
call this in the component you want to use like
import {Service} from "../shared/service";
@Component({
selector: 'app-angular4'
})
export class Angular4Component implements OnInit {
constructor(private service:Service) {
// resuse all the methods
}
