Dynamically load nested components in angular?


I want to organise my all tabs components dynamic components. I am using primg ng for ui tabs. Currently my code is

  • allTabs.component.html

Before

  • <p-tabPanel header="Contracts">
                 <app-a [arrId]='parrangementId' *ngIf="tabIndex==1"></app-a>
               </p-tabPanel>
               <p-tabPanel header="Allocations">
                 <app-b [arrId]='parrangementId' *ngIf="tabIndex==2"></app-b>
               </p-tabPanel>
             </p-tabView>
    

Here each tab holds each component. when this route is loading all componets are getting initialized, so I want to reduce loading time using dynamic component loading. So Later I tried to organise my components using dynamic component loader provided by anhular.

After allTabs.component.html is look like

  •     <p-tabPanel header="Contracts">
          <ng-template ad-cm></ng-template>
    
        </p-tabPanel>
        <p-tabPanel header="Allocations">
    
         </p-tabPanel>
    

    allTabs.component.ts

  •  @Component({   
       templateUrl: './rmanArrangementsOverView.component.html',  
        selector: 'rmanArrangementsOverView-data'   entryComponents: 
      [AllocationComponent, ContractsComponent]
            })
    
       export class ALLCom {
    
    @ViewChild(AdCmDirective) adCm: AdCmDirective;   ref:ComponentRef<any>;   private loadedComponentsArray = [
       {
         'componentIndex': 1,
         'componentName':  ContractsComponent
       },
       {
         'componentIndex': 2,
         'componentName':  AllocationComponent
       },
       {
         'componentIndex': 3,
         'componentName':  RmanContTransToReleaseComponent
       },
       {
         'componentIndex': 4,
         'componentName':  RmanOrderBookingsVComponent
       },
       {
         'componentIndex': 5,
         'componentName':  RmanInvoiceHeadersVComponent
       }   ]   constructor(private componentFactoryResolver: ComponentFactoryResolver){
    
    
    
     }
    
     ngOnInit() {
    
        }
    
     loadComponent(component) {
    
       let componentFactory = this.componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory(component);
    
       let viewContainerRef = this.adCm.viewContainerRef;
       viewContainerRef.clear();
    
       let componentRef = viewContainerRef.createComponent(componentFactory);
       this.ref=componentRef;   }   removeComponent(){
    
       try{
         this.ref.destroy();
       }
       catch(e){
    
       }   }
    
     handleChange(event: any) {
       console.log(event);
       var index = event.index;
       console.log('event tab index : ' + index);
       this.tabIndex = index;
    
       let component = this.loadedComponentsArray.find(c=> {
         if(c.componentIndex == this.tabIndex) return true
       });
       console.log(component, 'component');
       this.removeComponent();
       this.loadComponent(component.componentName);   }
    

    a.component.html

Contracts !!

   <div>
       test
       <app-a [arrId]='parrangementId'></app-a> 

b.componet.html

 <div>Allocation</div> 
        <app-b [arrId]='parrangementId'>
      </app-b>

Even I have child component are in , components

ex: AppAComponent.htnml(

  • <app-a-child [asle]="ddata"></app-a-child>

Solution

  • You can lazy load tab content like this:

    <p-tabView>
        <p-tabPanel header="Contracts">
            <ng-template pTemplate="content">
                <app-a [arrId]='parrangementId'></app-a>
            </ng-template>
        </p-tabPanel>
        <p-tabPanel header="Allocations">
            <ng-template pTemplate="content">
                <app-b [arrId]='parrangementId'></app-b>
            </ng-template>
        </p-tabPanel>
    </p-tabView>
    

    The key is to put the complex content to lazy load inside a <ng-template> with pTemplate="content".

    Read the TabView documentation for more information (scroll down to Lazy Loading).
