Angular animation trap

Animations in Angular.io are a nice feature. But their error messages can be quite misleading. When you forgot to define the animations array in the @Component annotation, then Angular will report following error message: “Found the synthetic property @detailExpand. Please include either “BrowserAnimationsModule” or “NoopAnimationsModule” in your application That is clearly misleading, because the error […]

Input fields with dynamic width in Angular

Have you ever typed text into small input field and did not see the whole text at once? It can be really frustrating. Textareas can be natively resized in most browsers today, but plain old input fields can not. To address this I have written small Angular directive. See it in action in the video […]

Useful Typescript / Angular code snippets

Ssh access is not provided, and neither is https. The only access is via http accessible on VPN. The connection is protected with […]

File validators in Angular

Whenever you allow users to upload files to your server, you should have both client side and server side validation. Most likely you will validate file size and file type, identifiable by the file extension. FileValidator covers all three aspects. Example of usage is below the source code. If you are using Angular, you can […]

Angular (click) not fired and how to fix it

Sometimes, very rarely, you can run into situation then Angular does not fire the (click) event. Or it fires later, on the 2nd click. It can be really hard to debug and figure out what causes it. So here are my two cents. This can be caused by view being updated while user clicks. What […]
