@nglrx/pipes
A library of pipes for Angular apps.
Installation
Use npm to install @nglrx/pipes.
npm i @nglrx/pipesImport Module
Import module NglrxPipesModule to your module for using all pipes.
import { NglrxPipesModule } from '@nglrx/pipes';
@NgModule({
//...
imports: [
NglrxPipesModule
]
})
export class YourModule { }Alternatively, you can use pipes from specific module(s) like NglrxNumberPipesModule or NglrxStringPipesModule.
Usage of Pipes
Pipes can be used in your component's template
{{ 'This-is-a-string' | length }}
<!-- Returns 16 -->They can also be chained
{{ ' Another-string ' | trim | length }}
<!-- Returns 14 -->Or they can be used within components or services by calling the transform method
import { LengthPipe } from '@nglrx/pipes';
@Component({
providers: [ LengthPipe ]
})
export class YourComponent {
constructor(private lengthPipe: LengthPipe) {
this.lengthPipe.transform('Yet-another-string'); // Returns 18
}
