Overview

The wml-select-zero library is a specialized Angular component library designed to enhance form inputs by providing a robust and flexible select component. Its primary objective is to offer a more dynamic and feature-rich alternative to the native HTML select element, catering to the diverse needs of modern web applications. With its advanced functionalities, the library addresses common challenges faced in creating user-friendly, interactive forms, such as handling dynamic data sets, enabling search and filtering capabilities, and offering better control over the styling and behavior of select menus.

At the core of the wml-select-zero library are its central components: WmlSelectComponent and WmlSelectOptionComponent. The WmlSelectComponent acts as the main container for the select functionality, encapsulating the logic for opening and closing the dropdown, managing selections, and triggering custom events. The WmlSelectOptionComponent represents individual selectable items within the dropdown, providing a flexible structure for displaying options and handling user interactions. Developers can leverage these components to create highly interactive and customizable select menus, with support for single or multiple selections, search and filtering, and even asynchronous data loading. The library's design encourages a modular approach, where the WmlSelectComponent can be dynamically populated with WmlSelectOptionComponent instances, allowing for a high degree of customization and adaptability in different usage scenarios.

Installation

npm install -d @windmillcode/angular-wml-select-zero

Usage

Basic Example

This example demonstrates how to integrate a simple select component with static options.

HTML

<wml-select [params]="selectParams">
  <wml-select-option *ngFor="let option of options" [value]="option.value">
    {{ option.label }}
  </wml-select-option>
</wml-select>

TypeScript

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { WmlSelectParams } from 'wml-select-zero';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-my-select',
  templateUrl: './my-select.component.html'
})
export class MySelectComponent implements OnInit {
  selectParams: WmlSelectParams;
  options = [
    { label: 'Option 1', value: '1' },
    { label: 'Option 2', value: '2' },
    { label: 'Option 3', value: '3' }
  ];

  ngOnInit() {
    this.selectParams = new WmlSelectParams({
      placeholder: 'Select an option',
      multiple: false
    });
  }
}

Customizing Options

In this example, we customize the appearance of select options.

HTML

<wml-select [params]="customSelectParams">
  <wml-select-option *ngFor="let option of options" [value]="option.value" [customClass]="'custom-option-class'">
    {{ option.label }}
  </wml-select-option>
</wml-select>

TypeScript

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { WmlSelectParams } from 'wml-select-zero';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-custom-select',
  templateUrl: './custom-select.component.html'
})
export class CustomSelectComponent implements OnInit {
  customSelectParams: WmlSelectParams;
  options = [
    { label: 'Custom Option 1', value: '1' },
    { label: 'Custom Option 2', value: '2' },
    { label: 'Custom Option 3', value: '3' }
  ];

  ngOnInit() {
    this.customSelectParams = new WmlSelectParams({
      placeholder: 'Select a custom option',
      multiple: true
    });
  }
}
