ng-dialog-router

A small angular library that allows you to configure instances of @angular/material's MatDialog as part of your routing configuration.

Getting Started

In your angular app, run npm install ng-dialog-router --save OR yarn add ng-dialog-router

Prerequisites

Starting from scratch, please do the following:

  • Generate Angular App Using Angular CLI
  • Install Angular Material by running npm install @angular/material --save OR yarn add @angular/material
  • Install ng-dialog-router by running npm install ng-dialog-router --save OR yarn add ng-dialog-router
  • Finally, in src/styles.scss, import the Angular Material core styles as @import "~@angular/material/prebuilt-themes/indigo-pink.css";

Usage

Essentials

ng-dialog-router simply uses an angular route resolver to convert your normal route configuration into one that is displayed in a dialog.

It should be provided to the dlgRef resolve property.

import { DialogResolverService } from 'ng-dialog-router';
import { SampleDialogComponent } from '../sample-dialog/sample-dialog.component';

const route = {
    path: '0',
    component: SampleDialogComponent,
    resolve: { dlgRef: DialogResolverService },
}

Managing the dialog config settings

The typical angular material options can be passed to the dlg property of the route data. The Angular Material Dialog documentation can be found here Angular Material Dialog.

import { DialogResolverService, DialogRouteConfig } from 'ng-dialog-router';
import { SampleDialogComponent } from '../sample-dialog/sample-dialog.component';

const route = {
    path: '0',
    component: SampleDialogComponent,
    resolve: { dlgRef: DialogResolverService },
    data: {
        dlg: {
            data: { name: 'Sample Dialog #a.0' },
            position: { left: '0' },
            width: '500px',
        } as DialogRouteConfig,
    },
}

Additional config settings provided by this library

For best results, using the strongly typed DialogRouteConfig interface for the route.data.dlg property is recommended via the as DialogRouteConfig syntax.

redirectPath: string[]

By default, when the dialog is closed it will redirect up one level in the url tree. So if we are at /home/0/a it will navigate back to /home/0. ng-dialog-router has an additional option to allow for a custom redirect path, in case we want the dialog to go back to /home upon closing via the property redirectPath.

const route = {
    path: '0',
    component: SampleDialogComponent,
    resolve: { dlgRef: DialogResolverService },
    data: {
        dlg: {
            data: { name: 'Sample Dialog #a.0' },
            position: { left: '0' },
            width: '500px',
            redirectPath: [ 'home' ],
        } as DialogRouteConfig,
    },
}

Full Usage Example (implemented in app's routing module)

app/routing/routes.ts

import { Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { DialogResolverService, DialogRouteConfig } from 'ng-dialog-router';
import { SampleDialogComponent } from '../sample-dialog/sample-dialog.component';
import { HomeComponent } from '../home/home.component';

export const routes: Routes = [
    {
        path: 'home',
        component: HomeComponent,
        children: [
            {
                path: '0',
                component: SampleDialogComponent,
                resolve: { dlgRef: DialogResolverService },
                data: {
                    dlg: {
                        data: { name: 'Sample Dialog #a.0' },
                        position: { left: '0' },
                        redirectPath: ['home'],
                        width: '500px',
                    } as DialogRouteConfig,
                },
            },
        ],
    },
];

app/routing/routing.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { DialogRouterModule } from 'ng-dialog-router';
import { routes } from './routes';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    RouterModule.forRoot(routes),
    DialogRouterModule,
  ],
  exports: [
    RouterModule,
    DialogRouterModule,
  ]
})
export class RoutingModule { }
