Installation

ng add @txtextcontrol/tx-ng-ds-document-editor

Usage

Your component.html could look like this, for example (the only mandatory attributes are width, height and serviceURL):

<tx-ds-document-editor
   width="1024px"
   height="1024px"
   serviceURL="https://your.server.com/documentservices"
   oauthClientID="dsserver.u5NQQHkgjmCRAOeChUVc19zNFJ9aivKz"
   oauthClientSecret="tPGgkutg8oYuSHPbfuRfE5DMf9arUCEg"
   [userNames]="['user1', 'user2']">
</tx-ds-document-editor>

Events

Because the script containing the main TXTextControl object is loaded in a deferred manner, the component provides a global event ("dsDocumentEditorLoaded") which is fired as soon as the object is available. The event is dispatched on the document object. You can subscribe to it in your component.ts as follows:

@HostListener('document:dsDocumentEditorLoaded')
onDsDocumentEditorLoaded() {
   console.log('The TXTextControl object exists from now on.');
   TXTextControl.addEventListener("ribbonTabsLoaded", () => console.log('The ribbon tabs have been loaded completely.'));
}

Environment Support

• Angular ^15.0.0
• TX Text Control DS Server version 3.0.0 or higher.
