Setup and example usgage usage :

build file - angular-cli.json

Add the bootstrap css file to your package builder file, in the case of angular-cli, add it to the apps.styles array

{
  ...
  "apps": [
    {
      ...

      "styles": [
        ...
        "../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
      ],

app.component.html

Add the following in your main component.html

<orb-balloon></orb-balloon>

app.module.ts

Add the following lines to your apps main module imports (app.module.ts?)

import { OrbBalloonModule, OrbBalloonService} from "@synerty/orb-balloon";

Again, in the main module, Add OrbBalloonModule to the "imports" array.

OrbBalloonModule

And finally, OrbBalloonService to the "providers" array

OrbBalloonService

Example:

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule,
    HttpModule,
    OrbBalloonModule
  ],
  providers: [OrbBalloonService],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

where-ever.component.ts

To use the balloon service anywhere in your app :

Import the service

import {OrbBalloonService} from "@synerty/orb-balloon";

Add it to your component constructor.

constructor(private msgService: OrbBalloonService) {

Now call the show functions

    this.msgService.showSuccess("This is a test SUCCESS");
    this.msgService.showInfo("This is a test info");
    this.msgService.showWarning("This is a test warning");
    this.msgService.showError("This is a test error");

You can also create modal dialogs

    let p = this.msgService.showMessage(
        "This is a Error Confirm Cancel.",
        UsrMsgLevel.Error,
        UsrMsgType.ConfirmCancel, {
            confirmText: "OK Confirm",      // Optional
            cancelText: "Cancel xx",        // Optional
            dialogTitle: "Awesome title"    // Optional
    
        }
    );
    
    p.catch(err => {
        console.log("Ignoring reject call from promise for this test.");
    });

Development server

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Code scaffolding

Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive/pipe/service/class.

Build

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the -prod flag for a production build.

Running unit tests

Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.

Running end-to-end tests

Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor. Before running the tests make sure you are serving the app via ng serve.

Deploying to Github Pages

Run ng github-pages:deploy to deploy to Github Pages.
