Semantic Ui With Angular2 - How To Set Sidebar Settings From Jquery In A Component?

I have an Angular2 application and I want to use Semantic UI. However, there are some jQuery configurations like below that I have to run after a component loaded: $('#app .ui.side

Solution 1:

I found this link about using jQuery in directives, then I created a sidebar directive:

import {Directive, ElementRef, OnDestroy, OnInit, Input} from'@angular/core';
import {HostListener} from"@angular/core/src/metadata/directives";

declarevar$: any@Directive({
  selector: '.ui.sidebar'
})
exportclassSidebarDirectiveimplementsOnInit, OnDestroy {
  @Input() context: string;
  constructor(private el: ElementRef) {
  }

  publicngOnInit() {
    $(this.el.nativeElement)
      .sidebar({context: this.context})
      .sidebar('setting', 'transition', 'overlay');
  }

  publicngOnDestroy() {

  }

}

Then, I used it in the template:

<divid="app"><divcontext="#app"class="ui left vertical menu sidebar"></div><divclass="pusher"></div></div>

Solution 2:

I have spent quite some time to get this working although it is rather simple in the end. Hope to save you some time ...

There is no need to create a directive, you can use the jQuery command as you would use with JavaScript (described at https://semantic-ui.com/modules/sidebar.html#/usage). However, "$" has to be declared and the command has to be located in a TypeScript function ("toggle()"):

import {Component} from'@angular/core';

declarevar$: any;

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html'
})
exportclassAppComponent {

  toggle() {
    $('.ui.sidebar').sidebar('toggle');
  }
}

The corresponding section of the template may look like this:

<divclass="ui fixed inverted main menu"><a (click)="toggle()"class="launch icon item"><iclass="content icon"></i><pstyle="padding-left:1em">Menu</p></a></div>

Don't forget to add jQuery to the scripts section of .angular-cli.json:

"scripts":["../node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js","../node_modules/semantic-ui-css/semantic.min.js"],

I'm using Semantic UI 2.2.12 which already depends on jQuery 3.2.1. Angular version is 4.4.4 running on node.js 6.11.2.

Solution 3:

import { Component, OnInit } from'@angular/core';
declarevar$:any;
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
exportclassAppComponentimplementsOnInit {
  title = 'app works!';
  ngOnInit(){
    $('#app .ui.sidebar')
    .sidebar({context:$('#app')})
    .sidebar('setting', 'transition', 'overlay') ;
  }
}
