I need to call a function from external js file into my Angular component
I already go through the related question
My External JS (external.js)
var radius = 25;
function calculateRadius(pi) {
let piValue = 3.14159;
if(pi) {
piValue = pi;
}
var result = piValue * radius * radius;
console.log('Result: ', result);
}
function wrapperMethod(pi) {
console.log('Hi, this is from wrapper method');
calculateRadius(pi)
}
I added the said JS file in the angular.json under scripts block
"scripts": [
"src/assets/external.js",
]
In the CircleComponent, I would like to call the method
import wrapperMethod from '../../src/assets/external.js';
@Component({
selector: 'app-circle',
templateUrl: './circle.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./circle.component.css']
})
export class CircleComponent implements OnInit {
constructor() { }
ngOnInit() {
wrapperMethod(3.14159);
}
}
But its failing to call the method. Kindly assist me how to achieve this.
Note: The said methods as just an example methods, I want to implement this logic with the complex code file. The said question tells about typings.d.ts, but I don't know where is typings.d.ts in my Angular project. Kindly brief me regarding this. If the said question gives good solution means, why should I post this question.
Angular Structure (Created using Angular CLI)
I don't know where is typings.d.ts
, could anyone please tell me where is typings.d.ts - which is mentioned in the said questions How to include external js file in Angular 4 and call function from angular to js
You can follow this below steps
1) First add a reference of your external JS file for importing it to the component.
import * as wrapperMethods from '../../src/assets/external.js';
2) Now declare a "var" of the same name that your function has inside external JS.
declare var wrapperMethods: any;
3) ngOninit(){
wrapperMethods();
}
Don't get confused with typings.d.ts
. Follow below steps.
1.Add your external file inside assets
folder. The content of this file will be by default included as per your angular-cli.json
.
2.The function of your js which you're going to use must be exported
. ie
export function hello() {
console.log('hi');
}
3.Import your file inside your component as below.
import * as ext from '../assets/some-external.js';
4.Now you can reference it like
ext.hello();
Steps:-
1. create a external js file.
2. In component.ts use the below code.
ngOnInit() {
this.loadJsFile(JsFilePath);
}
public loadJsFile(url) {
let node = document.createElement('script');
node.src = url;
node.type = 'text/javascript';
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(node);
}
3. If u use jquery then define selector in html to render. Or store data in variable.
