About this version

Flatfile Angular Component - @flatfile/angular

npm Minzipped Size NPM Downloads MIT License


We've made it really simple for you to get started with Flatfile with our new Flatfile Component. Here's what you'll need to know to get started.

Note: This package is ideally suited for Angular version 8+ (or higher)

First, install the dependency via npm:

npm install @flatfile/angular

This will give you access to the <flatfile-button /> component as well as the same basic functionality as our Adapter.

Codesandbox Demo

Try it for yourself in the CodesandBox here.


Getting Started with

import { FlatfileAdapterModule } from '@flatfile/angular';

// Add to your Modules imports: []
imports: [
  FlatfileAdapterModule
]

Within a Components template use the flatfile-button:

import {
  // This interface is optional, but helpful to show you all the available required & optional inputs/outputs available to you
  FlatfileMethods
} from "@flatfile/angular";

@Component({
  template: `
    <flatfile-button
      [settings]="settings"
      [customer]="customer"
      [licenseKey]="licenseKey">
      Text you want to show for the button
    </flatfile-button>
  `
}) export class MyDemoComponent implements FlatfileMethods {
  
  customer = { userId: '12345' };
  licenseKey = 'YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_HERE'; // <-- Don't forget your license key!
  settings = {
    type: 'test import',
    fields: [
      { label: 'Name', key: 'name' },
      { label: 'Email', key: 'email' },
    ],
  };
}

More advanced use-case example

Tip: Make sure to use .bind(this) when passing down things like onData/onRecordInit/onRecordChange so that if you're using any props/methods within your Component, you won't have any errors.

Within a Components template use the flatfile-button

import {
  FlatfileMethods,
  FieldHookCallback,
  FlatfileResults,
  IDataHookResponse,
  ScalarDictionaryWithCustom,
} from "@flatfile/angular";

@Component({
  template: `
    <flatfile-button
      [settings]="settings"
      [customer]="customer"
      [licenseKey]="licenseKey"
      [fieldHooks]="fieldHooks"
      [onData]="onData.bind(this)"
      [onRecordInit]="onRecordInit.bind(this)"
      [onRecordChange]="onRecordChange.bind(this)"
      (cancel)="onCancel()"
      class="flatfile-button">
      Text you want to show for the button
    </flatfile-button>
  `,
  /**

  encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None, 
  styles: [`
    .flatfile-button button {

}) export class MyDemoComponent implements FlatfileMethods {
  
  customer = { userId: '12345' };
  licenseKey = 'YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_HERE'; // <-- Don't forget your license key!
  settings = {
    type: 'test import',
    fields: [
      { label: 'Name', key: 'name' },
      { label: 'Email', key: 'email' },
    ],
  };

  /*
   * @Input()'s
   */
  fieldHooks: Record<string, FieldHookCallback> = {
    email: (values) => {
      return values.map(([item, index]) => [
        { value: item + '@', info: [{message: 'added @ after the email', level: 'warning'}] },
        index
      ]);
    }
  };

  onData(results: FlatfileResults): Promise<string> {
    let errorState = false;

    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      setTimeout(() => {
        if (errorState) {
            reject('rejected - this text is controlled by the end-user');
            errorState = false;
          } else {
            resolve('Flatfile upload successful - this text is controlled by the end-user');
          }
      }, 3000);
    });
  }

  onRecordInit(record: ScalarDictionaryWithCustom, index: number): IDataHookResponse | Promise<IDataHookResponse> {
    return {
      email: {
        value: record.email + '@',
        info: [{ message: 'added @ on init', level: 'info' }]
      }
    };
  }

  onRecordChange(record: ScalarDictionaryWithCustom, index: number): IDataHookResponse | Promise<IDataHookResponse> {
    return {
      email: {
        value: record.email + '#',
        info: [{ message: 'added # on change', level: 'warning' }]
      }
    };
  }

  /*
   * @Output() handlers
   */
  onCancel(): void {
    console.log('canceled!');
  }
}

Styling the component

Note that in order to style this child-component (from the parent), simply supply a class="" to the <flatfile-button class="some_class_name">, and ensure that your parent component has encapsulation set to ViewEncapsulation.None (showcased above in this advanced demo).
