Dynamic Dialog

Dialogs can be created dynamically with any component as the content using a DialogService.

Import #


import { DynamicDialogModule } from 'primeng/dynamicdialog';

Usage #

To use dynamic dialog, a reference should be declared as DynamicDialogRef after the DialogService injected into the component.



import { Component, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core';
import { DialogService, DynamicDialogRef } from 'primeng/dynamicdialog';
import { Product } from '@domain/product';
import { ProductListDemo } from './productlistdemo';

@Component({
    templateUrl: './dynamicdialogdemo.html',
    providers: [DialogService]
})
export class DynamicDialogDemo implements OnDestroy {
    
    ref: DynamicDialogRef | undefined;

    constructor(public dialogService: DialogService) {}
}

Opening a Dialog #

The open method of the DialogService is used to open a Dialog. First parameter is the component to load and second one is the configuration object to customize the Dialog.



import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { DialogService, DynamicDialogRef } from 'primeng/dynamicdialog';
import { ProductListDemo } from './productlistdemo';

@Component({
    templateUrl: './dynamicdialogdemo.html',
    providers: [DialogService]
})
export class DynamicDialogDemo {

    ref: DynamicDialogRef | undefined;
    
    constructor(public dialogService: DialogService) {}

    show() {
        this.ref = this.dialogService.open(ProductListDemo, { header: 'Select a Product'});
    }
}

Customization #

DynamicDialog uses the Dialog component internally, visit dialog for more information about the available props.



import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { DialogService, DynamicDialogRef } from 'primeng/dynamicdialog';
import { ProductListDemo } from './productlistdemo';

@Component({
    templateUrl: './dynamicdialogdemo.html',
    providers: [DialogService]
})
export class CustomizationDemo {

    ref: DynamicDialogRef | undefined;
    
    constructor(public dialogService: DialogService) {}
    show() {
        this.ref = this.dialogService.open(ProductListDemo, {
            header: 'Select a Product',
            width: '50vw',
            modal:true,
            breakpoints: {
                '960px': '75vw',
                '640px': '90vw'
            },
        });
}

Passing Data #

In case you need to pass data to the component that is dynamically loaded, use the data property that can be access using the DynamicDialogConfig class. In additon, the loaded component can also control the Dialog using the DynamicDialogRef API. Both the DynamicDialogConfig and DynamicDialogRef are injectable using the constructor. 



import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { DialogService, DynamicDialogRef } from 'primeng/dynamicdialog';
import { ProductListDemo } from './productlistdemo';

@Component({
    templateUrl: './dynamicdialogdemo.html',
    providers: [DialogService]
})
export class DynamicDialogDemo {

    ref: DynamicDialogRef | undefined;
    
    constructor(public dialogService: DialogService) {}

    show() {
        this.ref = this.dialogService.open(ProductListDemo, { 
            data: {
                id: '51gF3'
            },
            header: 'Select a Product'
        });
    }
}

Closing a Dialog #

Most of the time, requirement is returning a value from the dialog. DialogRef's close method is used for this purpose where the parameter passed will be available at the onClose event at the caller. Here is an example on how to close the dialog from the ProductListDemo by passing a selected product. 



import { Component, Input } from '@angular/core';
import { MessageService } from 'primeng/api';
import { DialogService, DynamicDialogRef } from 'primeng/dynamicdialog';
import { Product } from '@domain/product';
import { ProductListDemo } from './productlistdemo';

@Component({
    templateUrl: './dynamicdialogdemo.html',
    providers: [DialogService, MessageService]
})
export class DynamicDialogDemo {

    ref: DynamicDialogRef | undefined;
    
    constructor(public dialogService: DialogService, public messageService: MessageService) {}

    show() {
        this.ref = this.dialogService.open(ProductListDemo, {
            header: 'Select a Product',
            width: '70%',
            contentStyle: { overflow: 'auto' },
            baseZIndex: 10000,
            maximizable: true
        });

        this.ref.onClose.subscribe((product: Product) => {
            if (product) {
                this.messageService.add({ severity: 'info', summary: 'Product Selected', detail: product.name });
            }
        });
    }
}

Example #

Dynamic dialogs require an instance of a DialogService that is responsible for displaying a dialog with a component as its content. Calling open method of DialogService will display dynamic dialog. First parameter of open method is the type of component to load and the second parameter is the configuration of the Dialog such as header, width and more. 


<p-toast />
<p-button (onClick)="show()" icon="pi pi-search" label="Select a Product" />
