Apply a directive conditionally

Question

I am using Material 2 to add md-raised-button. I want to apply this directive only if certain condition becomes true.

For example:

<         


        

Answer 1

I couldn't find a nice existing solution, so i built my own directive which does this.

import { Directive, ElementRef, Input } from '@angular/core';

@Directive({
  selector: '[dynamic-attr]'
})
export class DynamicAttrDirective {
  @Input('dynamic-attr') attr: string;
  private _el: ElementRef;

  constructor(el: ElementRef) {
    this._el = el;
  }

  ngOnInit() {
    if (this.attr === '') return null;
    const node = document.createAttribute(this.attr);
    this._el.nativeElement.setAttributeNode(node);
  }
}

Then your html:

<div dynamic-attr="{{hasMargin: 'margin-left' ? ''}}"></div>

Answer 2

yes it is possible.

html page with appActiveAhover directive :)

  <li routerLinkActive="active" #link1="routerLinkActive">
        <a [appActiveAhover]='link1.isActive?false:true' routerLink="administration" [ngStyle]="{'background':link1.isActive?domaindata.get_color3():none}">
          <i class="fa fa-users fa-lg" aria-hidden="true"></i> Administration</a>
      </li>
      <li  routerLinkActive="active" #link2="routerLinkActive">
        <a [appActiveAhover]='link2.isActive?false:true' routerLink="verkaufsburo" [ngStyle]="{'background':link2.isActive?domaindata.get_color3():none,'color':link2.isActive?color2:none}">
          <i class="fa fa-truck fa-lg" aria-hidden="true"></i> Verkaufsbüro</a>
      </li>
      <li  routerLinkActive="active" #link3="routerLinkActive">
        <a [appActiveAhover]='link3.isActive?false:true' routerLink="preisrechner" [ngStyle]="{'background':link3.isActive?domaindata.get_color3():none}">
          <i class="fa fa-calculator fa-lg" aria-hidden="true" *ngIf="routerLinkActive"></i> Preisrechner</a>
      </li>

directive

@Directive({
  selector: '[appActiveAhover]'
})
export class ActiveAhoverDirective implements OnInit {
  @Input() appActiveAhover:boolean;
  constructor(public el: ElementRef, public renderer: Renderer, public domaindata: DomainnameDataService) {
}

  ngOnInit() {
  }

  @HostListener('mouseover') onMouseOver() {
    if(this.appActiveAhover){
      this.renderer.setElementStyle(this.el.nativeElement, 'color', this.domaindata.domaindata.color2);
    }
  }

  @HostListener('mouseout') onMouseOut() {
    if(this.appActiveAhover){
      this.renderer.setElementStyle(this.el.nativeElement, 'color', 'white');
    }
  }

}

Answer 3

If you just need to add an attribute in order to trigger CSS rules, you can use the below method: (this does not dynamically create/destroy a directive)

<button [attr.md-raised-button]="condition ? '' : null"></button>

Applied the same to your plunker: fork

Update:

How condition ? '' : null works as the value:

When its the empty string ('') it becomes attr.md-raised-button="", when its null the attribute will not exist.

Update: plunker update: fork (version issues fixed, please note the question was originally based on angular 4)
