ng-boxed

Boxed directive

The 'boxed" is an Angular directive which provides an easy way to wrap a DOM element and apply classes to style it. DEMO

Installation

npm install ng-boxed

And import the module in your app.module.ts

imports: [
    .....,
    NgBoxedModule
  ],

Emmet notation

'boxed' supports an "emmet-style" way to describe the wrappers and their hierarchy.

'div' is a div element
'div.foo' is a div with class foo
'div#bar' is a div with id bar
'div#bar.foo" is a div with id bar and class foo
'div#bar.foo.hello' 

'div>div' is a div with another div as a child
'div.a>div.b' is a div of class a with a div of class b as child

Basic usage - single box

<a class="foo" boxed="div">This is a link</a>

yields:

<div>
   <a class="foo">This is a link</a>
</div>

Multiple boxes

<a class="foo" boxed="div>div">This is a link</a>

yields

<div>
   <div>
       <a class="foo">This is a link</a>
   </div>
</div>

Styled boxes

<a class="foo" boxed="div.hello>div.all">This is a link</a>

yields

<div class="hello">
   <div class="world">
       <a class="foo">This is a link</a>
   </div>
</div>

More advanced usage

<a class="foo" boxed="div#the_id.hello.world>div.first.second">This is a link</a>

yields

<div class="hello world" id="the_id">
   <div class="first second">
       <a class="foo">This is a link</a>
   </div>
</div>

Default value

You can use boxed without any parameter. In this case it wraps the element in a div.col-12 (bootstrap-like)

<div boxed>This is a text</div>

yields

<div class="col-12">
   <div class="first second">This is a text</div>
</div>
