IPEmailBuilderHistoryHostDirective

The EmailBuilderHistoryHostDirective in @wlocalhost/ngx-email-builder library. Watches for option changes and prevents loss of unsaved changes. Used as root settings element.

Selector

The selector for this directive is:
[ipEmailBuilderHistoryHost]

Properties

ipEmailBuilderHistoryHost: IIPOptionsHistoryContext | undefined

Input property that defines the context of the history host element, including the host class and object with elements to watch.

Methods

ngOnInit(): void
OnInit lifecycle hook that initializes the directive and calls detectChanges with the isAction flag set to false.
detectChanges(isAction: boolean): void
Detects differences in options if the user made any changes.
If differences are detected, it adds a new history record using addHistory() method of AIPEmailBuilderHistoryService.
  • isAction: A boolean flag to specify if the change is an action (i.e., undo or redo).

Usage

To use the EmailBuilderHistoryHostDirective, add the directive to the element that should be treated as the root settings element for the history.
Bind the ipEmailBuilderHistoryHost input property to an object that defines the context for the history host element.
Here's an example of using the EmailBuilderHistoryHostDirective to track changes made to a block's options.
Usage example:
<div ipEmailBuilderHistoryHost [ipEmailBuilderHistoryHost]="{ cmp: block, watch: block.options }">
<div class="block" [ipEmailBuilderBlock]="block"></div>
</div>
In this example, the ipEmailBuilderHistoryHost directive is added to a wrapper div element that contains a block component.
The ipEmailBuilderHistoryHost input property is bound to an object that specifies the block component as the host class and the block.options object as the elements to watch for changes.
Any changes made to the block.options object will be detected by the directive and tracked by the AIPEmailBuilderHistoryService.
