Localess Angular

This client SDK is designed to work with the Localess API. It provides a simple way to interact with the Localess API from your Angular application.

Important: The @localess\angular Library has two modules client and server.

The client module is designed to be used on the client side only, as it API Token is not requires.

The server module is designed to be used on the server side only, as it requires your Localess API Token to be kept secret.

Installation

NPM

npm install @localess/angular@latest

Yarn

yarn add @localess/angular@latest

Usage

Client Provider

Why do we need Client Provider, the provider is designed to be used on the client side only, as it API Token is not requires.

const LOCALESS_URL = 'https://my-localess.web.app';
const LOCALESS_SPACE = 'I1LoVe2LocaLess4Rever';

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [
    provideLocalessBrowser({
      origin: LOCALESS_URL,
      spaceId: LOCALESS_SPACE,
    }),
  ],
};

Client Base Component

You can extend LocalessComponent in your components.

Implement id() method to return the id of the component. It will help to identify the component in the Localess VisualEditor UI.

Now you have access to two utilities assetUrl and findLink to get the asset url and link url respectively.

import {LocalessComponent} from "@localess/angular/browser";

@Component({
  selector: 'llw-schema-hero-section',
  standalone: true,
  templateUrl: 'hero-section.component.html',
  styleUrl: 'hero-section.component.scss',
  imports: []
})
export default class HeroSectionComponent extends LocalessComponent {

  data = input.required<HeroSection>();
  links = input.required<Links>();

  override id(): string {
    return this.data()._id;
  }
}

Directives

You can use one of next directive [data-ll-id] or [llId] in case your don't extend LocalessComponent or your component has sub-schema, and you still wish to keep Visual Editor selection feature.

Pipes

Asset

Pipe llAsset, same feature as LocalessComponent.assetUrl() function, on in pipe.

Link

Pipe llLink, same feature as LocalessComponent.findLink() function, on in pipe.

RichText to HTML

Pipe llRtToHtml, used to transform RichText Schema into HTML.

Safe HTML

Pipe llSafeHtml, use to sanitizer HTML from XSS security risks.

Server Provider

Why do we need Server Provider, the provider is design to run on server side only, as it requires your Localess API Token to be kept secret.

const LOCALESS_URL = 'https://my-localess.web.app';
const LOCALESS_SPACE = 'I1LoVe2LocaLess4Rever';
const LOCALESS_TOKEN = 'Baz00KaT0KeN8S3CureLL';

const serverConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [
    provideLocalessServer({
      origin: LOCALESS_URL,
      spaceId: LOCALESS_SPACE,
      token: LOCALESS_TOKEN
    }),
  ]
};

export const config = mergeApplicationConfig(appConfig, serverConfig);
