Installation

npm install @eternalheart/ngx-file-preview --save docx-preview hls.js ng2-pdf-viewer pptx-preview xlsx

Configuration

1. Font Icon Configuration

Add the necessary styles and scripts to your angular.json file:

{
  "projects": {
    "your-app": {
      "architect": {
        "build": {
          "options": {
            "styles": [
              "node_modules/@eternalheart/ngx-file-preview/src/assets/icon/font/nfp.css"
            ],
            "scripts": [
              "node_modules/@eternalheart/ngx-file-preview/src/assets/icon/color/nfp.js"
            ]
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Module Imports

Import the required components in your Angular module:

import { 
  PreviewDirective, 
  PreviewComponent, 
  PreviewModalComponent 
} from '@eternalheart/ngx-file-preview';

@Component({
  imports: [
    PreviewDirective,
    PreviewComponent,
  ]
})

Usage

1. Directive Method

The simplest usage method: Apply the directive directly to an element:

import { PreviewDirective, PreviewEvent } from '@eternalheart/ngx-file-preview';

@Component({
  imports: [PreviewDirective],
  template: `
    <!-- Use themeMode to specify the display mode (dark/light). By default, it automatically switches based on time, but can also be manually toggled inside the preview page -->
    <div [ngxFilePreview]="file" themeMode="light">Click to preview a single file</div>
    <div [ngxFilePreview]="file" themeMode="dark" (previewEvent)="handlePreviewEvent($event)">Click to preview a single file</div>
    <div [ngxFilePreview]="file" themeMode="auto" [autoConfig]="{dark: {start: 19, end: 7}}">Click to preview a single file</div>
    <div [ngxFilePreview]="files">Click to preview multiple files</div>
  `
})
export class YourComponent {
  file: PreviewFile = {
    name: 'example.jpg',
    type: 'image',
    url: 'path/to/file.jpg'
  };

  files: PreviewFile[] = [
    // ... file array
  ];

  handlePreviewEvent(event: PreviewEvent) {
    const { type, message, event: targetEvent } = event;
    if (type === "error") {
      console.log(message); // Handle error event
    }
    if (type === "select") {
      console.log(targetEvent); // Handle file selection event
    }
  }
}

2. Component Method

Using the Default List Template:

import { PreviewComponent } from '@eternalheart/ngx-file-preview';

@Component({
  imports: [PreviewComponent],
  template: `
    <ngx-file-preview [files]="files" (fileSelect)="onFileSelect($event)">
    </ngx-file-preview>
  `
})

Using a Custom Template:

@Component({
  template: `
    <ngx-file-preview [files]="files">
      <ng-template #itemTemplate 
                   let-file 
                   let-index="index"
                   let-isActive="isActive"
                   let-preview="preview">
        <div class="custom-item" 
             [class.active]="isActive"
             (click)="preview()">
          <span>{{ file.name }}</span>
          <span>{{ formatFileSize(file.size) }}</span>
        </div>
      </ng-template>
    </ngx-file-preview>
  `
})
