Using NPM hamburgers - with Angular Bootstrap-MD
-Hamburgers is a collection of tasty CSS-animated hamburger icons. Also included is the source as a Sass library. Itβs modular and customizable, so cook up your own hamburger. -Detailed installation can be found in NPM website: simply used the CSS file provided, set it in the globalstyles.scss
file in my project. Then used the appropriatehamburger-type
class in the html of desired component : Link to doc - https://www.npmjs.com/package/hamburgers
* Note to have hamburbers work with Angular Bootstrap-MD:* Start by Taking off the ^
away symbol from your angular-bootstrap-md
dependency your the package.json
file:
"dependencies": {
"angular-bootstrap-md": "^5.2.2", <========== should not have the ^ Take it OFF
}
Steps taken to have it work with Angular Bootstrap MD ` 1. set CSS Hamburger Styles in `styles.scss`
2. Locate your `node_modules --> angular-bootstrap-md` directory and copy it to your `src` directory, because you'll have to make changes. *it is essential to do the above because when your `node_modules` is built with nmp they will be overwritten, specially when deploying* *You can take an extra step and just take out what you need, but I found it easier and less time consuming to just copy the whole `angular-boostrap-md`directory, then just modify what is needed*
3. Add the correct path to your imports in `app.module.ts` file, that is..
import { MDBBootstrapModule } from '../angular-bootstrap-md'; <===== ADD THIS LINE
- inside angular-bootstrap-mds file
navbar.component.ts
: set variablepublic isactive = false
inside theNavbarComponent
export, should have something that looks like this..
.
.
.
export class NavbarComponent implements AfterViewInit, OnInit {
.
.
public isactive = false; // <========== HERE IS WHAT YOU WANT TO ADD
.
.
- Then in that same file
navbar.component.ts
, locate theshow()
andhide()
functions: insideshow()
addthis.acitve = true
and insidehide()
addthis.isactive = false
, and inside your@HostListener()
: like this..
show() {
this.shown = true;
this.collapse = false;
this.collapsing = true;
this.isactive = true; // <========== HERE IS WHAT YOU WANT TO ADD
setTimeout(() => {
this.renderer.setElementStyle(this.el.nativeElement, 'height', this.height + 'px');
}, 10);
and in hide(), like this ..
hide() {
this.shown = false;
this.collapse = false;
this.showClass = false;
this.collapsing = true;
this.isactive = false; //<========== HERE IS WHAT YOU WANT TO ADD
setTimeout(() => {
this.renderer.setElementStyle(this.el.nativeElement, 'height', '0px');
}, 10);
and in @HostListener()
, like this..
@HostListener('window:resize', ['$event']) onResize(event: any) { //start bracket
.
.
.
.
.
this.collapse = true;
this.renderer.setElementStyle(this.el.nativeElement, 'opacity', '');
}, 4);
}
} else {
this.collapsing = false;
this.shown = false;
this.showClass = false;
this.collapse = true;
this.isactive = false;//<========== HERE IS WHAT YOU WANT TO ADD
this.renderer.setElementStyle(this.el.nativeElement, 'height', '');
}
} //end bracket
Done with navbar.component.ts
, Save & Close the file.
- Then inside angular-bootstrap-mds
navbar.component.html
add the code that can be found in the NPM hamburgers docs, You can follow the NPM Docs as this is the simple html file. I added the full code of my funtionalhamburger Button
here. what is before and after the dots is all that was altered form the orginal boostrap navbar compoment.
<nav class="{{SideClass}}" #nav>
<div [ngClass]="{'container': containerInside}" [ngStyle]="{'display': displayStyle}" #container>
<ng-content select="logo"></ng-content>
<ng-content *ngIf="this.doubleNav == true" select="navlinks"></ng-content>
<div *ngIf="this.doubleNav == false">
.
.
.
.
<!-- class below did not have: hamburger hamburger--collapse , also added the following code [ngClass]="{'is-active': isactive}"-->
<button class="navbar-toggler hamburger hamburger--collapse" [ngClass]="{'is-active': isactive}" type="button" (click)="toggle($event)" mdbRippleRadius *ngIf="this.el.nativeElement.children.length !== 0">
<!-- span below had navbar-toggle-icon originialy , CHANGE IT TO hamburger-box-->
<span class="hamburger-box ">
<!-- add this span for the hamburger-inner class -->
<span class="hamburger-inner"></span>
</span>
</button>
.
.
.
.
</div>
<div #navbar [style.height]="height" class="navbar-collapse collapse" [ngClass]="{'collapse': collapse, 'show': showClass, 'collapsing': collapsing}">
<ng-content select="links"></ng-content>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
Switch the hamburger--collapse
to your desired class found in NPM docs
Then just modify your hamburger in styles.scss
to have it look have the look you want to achive, but the above takes care of the animation
