ngx-property-editor

This is an Angular library containing simple input components for different data types (styled with bootstrap). Based on the input components this library provides a property editor component which automatically builds a form for editing all properties of any object passed to the property editor component. The property editor input fields can be configured by passing an additional configuration object to the property editor component.

Demo

Beside the library project this repository contains a demo application project which demonstrates all library features. Open demo page.

Installation

Add this library to your Angular CLI project by running the following command:

ng add ngx-property-editor

It will install ngx-property-editor for the default application specified in your angular.json. If you have multiple projects, and you want to target a specific project, you could specify the --project option:

ng add ngx-property-editor --project myProject

Install Bootstrap (dependency)

The ngx-property-editor package depends on the Angular bootstrap package @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap, so it must be added to your project. If you are already are using it, you can skip this step.

See the full bootstrap installation instructions at ng-bootstrap.github.io. The following instructions are taken from there.

We [that is the author of ng-bootstrap] strongly recommend using Angular CLI for setting up a new project. If you have an Angular CLI project, you could simply use our schematics to add ng-bootstrap library to it.

Just run the following:

ng add @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap

It will install ng-bootstrap for the default application specified in your angular.json. If you have multiple projects and you want to target a specific application, you could specify the --project option

ng add @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap --project myProject

Install Font Awesome (dependency)

The ngx-property-editor package depends on the Angular Font Awesome package @fortawesome/angular-fontawesome, so it must be added to your project. If you are already are using it, you can skip this step.

Analogously to the bootstrap installation use the Angular CLI for adding Font Awesome to your project:

ng add @fortawesome/angular-fontawesome

Or with multiple projects:

ng add @fortawesome/angular-fontawesome --project myProject
