Angular Snippet Collection

Angular Snippet Collection



About

Collection of small helper components, directives and services that might be published in a more convenient format via NPM in the future.

Tested with Angular 8-9

Setup

Manually copy and integrate these files in your own Angular setup.

Make sure to set the correct import paths for requirements. Some classes need to be integrated in the main application module and component. Watch out for 'todo' comments where custom data is required.




Features

Components

AbstractComponent

Use with view components. Applies trackByFn to improve list rendering performance.

Example

Component

import { AbstractComponent } from 'abstract.component';

@Component(...)
export class UiNavigationFooterComponent extends AbstractComponent {
...

View

<ul>
  <li *ngFor="let item of items; trackBy: trackByFn">{{item.id}}</li>
</ul>




Directives

GoogleAnalytics / TrackEventDirective

Allow tracking custom events via Google Analytics.

Requirements

Services

  • GoogleAnalyticsEventsService
Example
<a [appTrackEvent]="['UI module', 'Click', link.name, 1]">Link</a>




Services

Cookie consent / CookieConsentService

Angular wrapper for the NPM plugin, including a little tweak (yep, dirty) to also respect the 'do not track signal' users might set. In this case, cookies will always be declined. A better way would be to change the cookie banner text as well.

Todo: Decouple dependency, optimize display.

Requirements
  • global.d.ts

Services

  • UserTrackPreferenceService

External

Example

Google Analytics / GoogleAnalyticsService

Enables Google Analytics and defines a custom datalayer variable. Respects user opt-in from 'cookie consent'.

Requirements
  • index.html
  • global.d.ts

Services

  • CookieConsentService
  • GoogleAnalyticsEventsService

External


Google Analytics events / GoogleAnalyticsEventsService

Allows tracking custom and navigation change events. Custom events can be tracked via TrackEventDirective.

Example
export class ExampleComponent {
  constructor( private googleAnalyticsEventsService: GoogleAnalyticsEventsService ) {
  }

  track( event: any ) {
    const eventData = ['UI module', 'Click', 'EVENT VALUE', 1];

    this.googleAnalyticsEventsService.trackCustomEvent( eventData );
  }
}

User colour scheme / UserColorSchemeService

Set user colour scheme preference as CSS class. It will be stored and loaded from cookie as well. The information is useful for theming websites and applying 'light switches'.

Todo: Move to LocalStorage instead, no need for cookies here.


User track preference / UserTrackPreferenceService

Retrieve 'do not track signal' from user settings. Used to disable tracking implementations in other services.




Todo

  • Integrate ESLint + TypeScript with Prettier
