Installation

npm install @eternalheart/ngx-file-preview --save docx-preview hls.js pptx-preview xlsx ngx-extended-pdf-viewer markdown-it highlight.js

Internationalization (i18n)

Language Configuration

You can specify the language when using the directive:

<div [ngxFilePreview]="file" lang="en">Click to preview</div>

Register New Language Pack

Register a custom language pack using I18nUtils.register:

import { I18nUtils } from '@eternalheart/ngx-file-preview';

// Register a new language pack
I18nUtils.register('fr', {
  preview: {
    error: {
      noFiles: 'Aucun fichier à afficher'
    },
    toolbar: {
      zoomIn: 'Zoom avant',
      zoomOut: 'Zoom arrière'
      // ... other translations
    }
  }
  // ... more translation keys
});

Using i18n Pipe(For developers)

Use the i18n pipe in templates to translate text:

{{ 'preview.toolbar.zoomIn' | i18n }}
// With parameters 
// Use ${0} as a numeric placeholder in the corresponding text. The number of placeholders is unlimited, but you must pass the corresponding number of arguments when using them.
// example: list.total ==> "共${0}个文件"
{{ 'list.total' | i18n:filesCount }}

Configuration

1. Font Icon Configuration and Resources

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

{
  "projects": {
    "your-app": {
      "architect": {
        "build": {
          "options": {
            "assets": [
              {
                "glob": "**/*",
                "input": "node_modules/ngx-extended-pdf-viewer/assets",
                "output": "assets"
              }
            ],
            "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,
  PreviewListComponent,
  PreviewModalComponent
} from '@eternalheart/ngx-file-preview';

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

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

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

Using a Custom Template:

@Component({
  template: `
    <ngx-preview-list [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-preview-list>
  `
})
