Welcome to InTo Pipes!

Have you ever wanted to transform values in different parts of your application into interactive objects without writing a single line of code? This library provides few Angular pipes that are all used by a single InTo pipe component/directive. InTo will determine how the object value should be formatted based on meta-data formatting rules!! Moreover, "InTo" can be customized by adding custom formatters into it!!

Note: If you decide to use the InTo pipes instead of the directive, you need to make sure you will pipe the result into sanitizeHtml. Note: When you create tags and insert them into DOM at runtime through InTo Pipes, angular will not be able to enforce CSS rules on the tags. In that case the workaround is to use ::ng-deep in your CSS. For example, if img tage is created through image pipe under a DIV with class "something", then you need to declare attributes in ::ng-deep .something img{ } in order to have control over img tag. Note: Starting from version 2.0.0, this library is compatible with Angular 6+.

NOTE: Starting with version 2.1.1 you need to import this library through @sedeh/into-pipes.

You are definitely welcome to submit additional pipes and formatting rules to this library and I will gladly incorporate your ideas InTo this project. Add your comments an requests through the link provided below.

Revision History

Version	Description
2.1.1	Updated dependencies.
2.1.0	It was brought to my attention that some users have trouble using my components in their angular 6 environment. Since I had only updated few dependencies when moved to Angular 6, I am thinking dependencies are causing issues. So, for this release, I am updating all dependencies to what Angular 6 applications are expecting to have. Please let me know if this is fixing or not fixing any issues you are facing.
2.0.0	Updated dependencies to become compatible with Angular 6+.
1.8.0	Added inputgroup transformation. Sometimes, you need to display a range of options in radio buttons or check-box buttons. If the source is a list, options are displayed in check-box list. otherwise, the list will be radio buttons.
1.7.5	Made all interactive components emit the same `{id, name, value, item}` event. However, select component will spew two more `selected, action` attributes.
1.7.0	Added date picker transformation code. I included and modified code snippet provided by Ben Tedder. Could not use his code directly, as I had to make many adjustments to make it fit within pipe environment.
1.6.6	internal fix on select transform to prevent event bubbling when clicked on or when changed selection.
1.6.5	Modified Select service interface to have the owner data set passed on to it. Consider a case of displaying drop-downs in a table row. If one drop-down is for state and another for countries, then both drop-downs are interchangeably depend on each other. As a result, the service representing drop-down has to have access to the data set for the entire row in order to return correct set of options for each drop-down item.
1.6.0	Fixed ADA related issue with input, checkbox, and share components.
1.5.0	Added LIKE and LASTUPDATE formatters. With like/dislike, an event is triggered after user clicks on it. You will be responsible to catch the event and increment or decrement the count in your data source.
1.4.1	Calling console.error() if applying a custom rule when the custom component for it is not registered.
1.4.0	Added an interactive share social sites component.
1.3.9	Fixed the firing event on interactive input component. Event will fire after the input value is changed and a tab, return, or escape key is pressed. After the event is fired, input field will revert back to a plain text.
1.3.8	Modified all pipe components to accept one more argument allowing you to have additional data when you are formatting data. Consider a case when you are formatting data in a table row. You may need to format based on some attributes from other columns and would need to have ability to access the data for the entire row. By passing data to a intoData attribute, your custom component will have access to the data and you can gain great flexibility formatting a particular table cell. NOTE: Standard pipes will not have access to "intoData" object. If you have not created custom pipe components on previous versions, you will have no issue upgrading to this version. However, if you have created custom components, you will have to take note of new parameter passed to your component (please pay attention to the 'PipeComponent' interface presented in this page).
1.3.7	Compiled with AOT option and resolved issues.
1.3.3	Added Video pipe... Now you can pipe a URL into video tag.
1.2.0	Fixed a few logic issues and added event emit to the directive. Added into select option. You are now able to pipe a value into a select tag. But you will need to register a service that knows how to provide select options for a given attribute. And this service has to implement PipeServiceComponent.
1.1.0	Added ability for you to declare a custom pipe. You will need to create your own custom component for it and register the component as was explained on release 1.0.0. Also, updated custom component declaration process. You will need to make sure your component has id and name attributes as well as source attribute. also, if your component interacts with user actions and as a result its value is changed, you will need to emit event as I have updated the code sample for version 1.0.0.
1.0.0	Added a directive to enable morphing values into form fields!! Provisions is in place if you wish to format the values into a custom field. For those to happen, you will need to create your component and register it. You can still continue formatting with existing pipes using InTo directive. However, Email, Address, Font, Image, JSON, Link, and Rating formatters will insert actual components in the end resulting html. This means in the next release, I can add interactions with these components and add editable date component to format and edit the values when user interacts with the fields. To allow you to come up with nifty formatters that can interact with users, in future release, I will add possibility of customizing formatting tags as well.
0.3.0	Internally changed code to apply transformation to all items in the array if source is an array.
0.2.2	A new Conditional Pipe is added to display content based on condition applicable to the source value.
0.0.1	Font awesome dependency is added because few of the pipes are injecting nodes with font awesome names to create a better UI effects. In Addition code in "into" pipe is modified to allow for cascading pipes by escaping ':' character if is inside quotes. For example date:"MM/dd/yyyy hh:ss" will be parsed into an array argument of date, MM/dd/yyyy hh:ss
0.0.0	Initial Release.
