Is there an Angular 2 implementation of angular-better-placeholders? - angularjs

I liked angular-better-placeholders in AngularJS. There were a few implementations. Here's an example: https://github.com/dmackerman/angular-better-placeholders
I can't find something similar for Angular2. If there's not a plug-and-play implementation could someone provide some basic code snippets to get us started? I can't get any real scripting control over the text inside but I've got the following:
HTML:
<div class="input-container">
<input id="test" class="col-xs-9 form-control" name="name" formControlName="name">
</div>
CSS:
.input-container {
position: relative;
float: left;
}
.input-container:after{
position: absolute;
left: 10px;
content: 'Testing';
}
Which results in this:

FA Icon in placeholder of an input?

As I saw in the documentation, Font Awesome has a way of put an icon in an input placeholder, doing something like this:
<Input placeholder=' Search' />
This is what I get:
No matter what code I put after &#x, it always renders the same icon.
I'm working with ReactJS and Reactstrap library. Any suggestion? Thanks a lot (sorry 4 my english)
You can't do it this way, because the font family of the input field is using an English font. Font Awesome uses it's own font file.
One way to implement this would be to use a positioned <i> element:
<div class="container">
<label><b>Username</b></label>
<input type="text" placeholder="Enter Username" name="uname" required>
<i class="fa fa-user fa-lg"></i>
</div>
.container {
position: relative;
}
.container i {
position: absolute;
left: 15px;
top: 40px;
color: gray;
}

How to Split Material Chips On New Line?

On pressing enter I am in need to split each item on next line. Material Chips. Any pointers on how to get started.
I started with textarea and started writing custom CSS to achieve it. But UI is not as great as Material.
OLD: For AngularJS Material design
You can add a custom css class over md-chips directive. After that, add css rules to style md-chip child element.
CHECK THIS PLUNKER WITH 3 DIFFERENT EXAMPLES
CSS
.chip-new-line md-chip {
display: block;
clear: left;
float: left;
}
HTML:
<md-chips class="chip-new-line" ng-model="data" placeholder="Enter an animal"></md-chips>
NEW: For Angular material
CSS:
.mat-chip-list-wrapper {
display: block
}
.mat-chip-list-wrapper mat-chip {
display: block;
float: left;
clear: left;
}
.mat-chip-list-wrapper .mat-chip-input {
width: 100%;
}
/** Just for align close icon/button */
.mat-chip-list-wrapper mat-chip .mat-chip-remove {
vertical-align: bottom;
}
HTML:
<mat-chip-list #chipList aria-label="Fruit selection">
<mat-chip *ngFor="let fruit of fruits">
{{fruit.name}}
<button matChipRemove>
<mat-icon>cancel</mat-icon>
</button>
</mat-chip>
<input placeholder="New fruit..." [matChipInputFor]="chipList">

Draw colored dots in AngularJS

i saw this in a angularJS App:
Maybe he's drawing borders?? Any ideas how i could do this properly?
The color should be changeable.
I made a plunker where you can change the color of the dot with ngStyle, please take a look at it.
Using ngStyle you can also change the background-color within a controller.
HTML code:
<body ng-app="">
<input type="button" value="change color to blue" ng-click="myStyle={'background-color':'blue'}">
<input type="button" value="change color to red" ng-click="myStyle={'background-color':'red'}">
<div class="circle" ng-style="myStyle"></div>
</body>
CSS code:
.circle {
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background-color: red;
border-radius: 10px;
}

Click on element work unstabilly

$scope.clickUpload = function(){
$timeout(function() {
angular.element('#upload').trigger('click');
}, 100);
};
For example, 3 times this works fine, but on 4th click - nothing going on
How can I fix this?
I am editing my original answer since I didn't fully understand what it is you are trying to do. You can style an input type="file" without having to use jQuery/javascript to hide the original element and simulate a click on it. You can use standard HTML/CSS to do this...
CSS:
.upload {
height:25px;
width:70px;
background:#ccc;
color:#fff;
overflow:hidden;
text:'Upload';
}
.upload input {
display: block !important;
width: 70px !important;
height: 25px !important;
opacity: 0 !important;
overflow: hidden !important;
}
#uploadText {
left: 6px;
position: relative;
top: -45px;
}
HTML:
<div class="upload">
<input type="file" name="upload" />
<h3 id="uploadText">Upload</h3>
</div>
Given these are not ideal styles and I have no future as a graphic designer, they are enough to demonstrate how you can modify the style of the standard input type="file" without needing javascript.

Display several sequences of events with possible line break in middle [closed]

Improve this question
I am a HTML / CSS newbie.
I need to do something like this:
My web page is receiving sequences of events dynamically and I would like to visualize them on in the page.
I would like one sequence of events to be in a box, with lots of slots, and each slot has the event id.
So if I have several sequences, then I will have several such boxes.
However, the length of a sequence is dynamic. And the web page's window might be adjusted by the users, so even for a sequence, if it is too long or the window is too narrow, I have to break the box into several lines.
the above is my drawing of the design.
The A, B, etc, are the sequence title, then the numbers are the ids.
ideally, the space of all events / sequences should be as compact as possible.
And if a box has to change line, then it should be half-borded to indicate the continuous.
How can I do that? using CSS 3?
And also the framework I am using is AngularJS to control the data / UI binding, even if I manage to handle this case, how to dynamically bind the data to adjust this requirement?
Thanks
Doing this in CSS is tricky, because you want a border between elements only if those elements are on the same line. CSS doesn't know anything about wrapping.
I've solved the problem by:
Adding a left border on all boxes
Adding a right border on the last box only.
Adding a -1px left margin on all boxes except the first.
Placing the boxes in a container with overflow: hidden.
Having the right border on the last box only solves the right-hand issue.
The -1px left margin solves the left-hand issue.
Snippet:
.sequences {
overflow: hidden;
}
.sequence > div {
border: 1px solid black;
border-right: none;
height: 50px;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.sequence > div:last-of-type {
border-right: 1px solid black;
margin-right: 20px;
}
.sequence > div:not(:first-of-type) {
margin-left: -1px;
}
.yellow div {background: yellow; width: 100px;}
.green div {background: lightgreen; width: 80px;}
.blue div {background: lightblue; width: 120px;}
<div class="sequences">
<div class="sequence yellow">
<div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>
<div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>
</div>
<div class="sequence green">
<div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>
<div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>
</div>
<div class="sequence blue">
<div></div><div></div><div></div>
<div></div><div></div><div></div>
</div>
</div>
You can solve this using CSS by doing something like this.
I've given each sequence element a top, left and bottom border. T
This will give the illusion of a right border when the elements are floated next to eachother but when they're the last on that line it will brake of as per your request.
I also added a right border to the last div element and the last div in each section.
Fiddle
div{
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
line-height: 50px;
text-align: center;
float:left;
background: #eee;
border: 1px solid #000;
border-width: 1px 0 1px 1px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
div.last{margin-right: 5px;}
div.last,
div:last-child{border-right-width: 1px;}
<div class="seq-1">1</div>
<div class="seq-1">2</div>
<div class="seq-1">3</div>
<div class="seq-1">4</div>
<div class="seq-1 last">5</div>
<div class="seq-2">1</div>
<div class="seq-2">2</div>
<div class="seq-2 last">3</div>
Edit:
I just noticed you wan't the border to be 0px/blank on the last element and the first element each row. Now that is a bit trickier.
I'm not positive there's a good solution to solving that using css since your sequences seem to be dynamic.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you need to use javascript to manage this.
Edit 2: CSS and JQuery solution
I made a quick jquery solution that utilies my previously provided CSS code.
The jQuery script removes the left border if the elements left offset(within it's parent) is 0 and if the element is not the first element in each sequenc(first class added).
Fiddle
var containerOffset = $('.container').offset().left;
setBorderWidth();
$(window).resize(function(){
setBorderWidth();
});
function setBorderWidth(){
$('.block').each(function() {
var childOffset = $(this).offset().left;
if(childOffset - containerOffset == 0 && !$(this).hasClass('first'))
$(this).css("border-left-width", "0px");
else
$(this).css("border-left-width", "1px");
});
}
.container{width: 100%;}
.block{
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
line-height: 50px;
text-align: center;
float:left;
background: #eee;
border: 1px solid #000;
border-width: 1px 0 1px 1px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.block.last{margin-right: 5px;}
.block.last,
.block:last-child{border-right-width: 1px;}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="container">
<div class="seq-1 block first">1</div>
<div class="seq-1 block">2</div>
<div class="seq-1 block">3</div>
<div class="seq-1 block">4</div>
<div class="seq-1 block last">5</div>
<div class="seq-2 block first">1</div>
<div class="seq-2 block">2</div>
<div class="seq-2 block last">3</div>
</div>
What I would recommend is to have 3 CSS classes
1) beginning of sequence
2) middle of sequence
3) end of sequence
then display different borders using:
.beginning-of-seq {
border-top-style: solid;
border-right-style: none;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-left-style: solid;
}
for instance.
about the angular part just use ng-repeat="seq in sequences" for instance and then render the sequence with the classes you created so it will look good (of course you need the scope to have the sequences)
<span ng-repeat="seq in sequences">
<span class="beginning-of-seq"> {{seq.title}} </span>
<span class="middle-of-seq ng-repeat="elem in seq.otherElements">{{elem}}</span>
<span class="end-of-seq"> {{seq.lastElem}} </span>
</span>
</span>
this is a bit crude and i don't know how you implemented it but it should give you an idea where to start
This HTML/CSS should do the trick. As you mentioned about the user having different resolutions, I've used percentages for the widths (depending on your scenario, media queries may be needed).
.container {
width: 30%; /*Change this to fit your design*/
}
.seq {
display: inline;
border: 0.1em solid #000;
margin-right: 1em;
}
.seq .item {
display: inline-block;
width: 5%; /*Change this to fit your design*/
margin-bottom: 1em;
}
.seq .item:not(:last-child) {
border-right: 0.1em solid #000;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="seq">
<div class="item item-title">A</div>
<div class="item">1</div>
<div class="item">2</div>
<div class="item">3</div>
</div>
<div class="seq">
<div class="item item-title">B</div>
<div class="item">4</div>
<div class="item">5</div>
</div>
<div class="seq">
<div class="item item-title">C</div>
<div class="item">1</div>
<div class="item">2</div>
<div class="item">3</div>
<div class="item">4</div>
<div class="item">5</div>
<div class="item">6</div>
</div>
<div class="seq">
<div class="item item-title">D</div>
<div class="item">1</div>
<div class="item">2</div>
<div class="item">3</div>
<div class="item">4</div>
<div class="item">5</div>
</div>
</div>
About the AngularJS binding:
In your controller define your array of sequences and some functions to manipulate the sequences:
$scope.sequences = [];
$scope.addSequence = function(sequenceName){
var newSequence = { name : sequenceName, events: [] };
$scope.sequences.push(newSequence);
};
$scope.addEventToSequence = function(sequenceName, event){
var sequence = getSequence(sequenceName); // write this function to get the right sequence from the array
sequence.events.push(event);
}
Now in your html loop over the sequences and events using ng-repeat
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="sequence in sequences">
<ul>
<li>{{sequence.name}}</li>
<li ng-repeat="event in sequence.event">{{event.name}}</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
