Installation

To install this library, run:

$ npm install ng4-gridstack --save
`

Consuming your library

Once you have published your library to npm, you can import your library in any Angular application by running:

`bash
$ npm install ng4-gridstack
`

Then add reference to the gridstask.js and lodash to your index.html for how to do it check their site at
- https://github.com/gridstack/gridstack.js

and then from your Angular AppModule:

`typescript
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

// Import your library
import { GridStackModule } from 'ng4-gridstack';

@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,

// Specify your library as an import
GridStackModule
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
`

Once your library is imported, you can use its components, directives and pipes in your Angular application:

`xml







`

If you want to dynamically generate widgets:

`xml

Add Widget

{{widget.Caption}}

`
`typescript
import { Component, OnInit, ViewChildren, QueryList, ViewChild, ChangeDetectorRef } from '@angular/core';
import { GridStackItem, GridStackOptions, GridStackItemComponent, GridStackComponent} from 'ng4-gridstack'

@Component({
selector: 'app-grid-stack',
templateUrl: './app-grid-stack.component.html'
})
export class DashboardComponent implements OnInit {
@ViewChildren(GridStackItemComponent) items: QueryList;
@ViewChild('gridStackMain') gridStackMain: GridStackComponent;
area: GridStackOptions = new GridStackOptions();
widgets: GridStackItem[] = [];

constructor(private cd: ChangeDetectorRef) {

}

AddWidget(widgetType: DashboardWidgetTypeEnum) {
var widget = new GridStackItem();

widget.width = 6;
widget.height = 4;
widget.x = 0;
widget.y = 0;
this.widgets.push(widget);
this.cd.detectChanges();
var arr = this.items.toArray();
this.gridStackMain.AddWidget(arr[this.items.length - 1]);
}
}
`
