Renderer2

The Renderer class is a service that provides an abstraction for UI rendering manipulations. Using it is the recommended approach because it then makes it easier to develop apps that can be rendered in different environments.

Links & Tutorials

addClass#

addClass(el: any, name: string): void
Add a class to an element in the DOM.

appendChild#

appendChild(parent: any, newChild: any): void
Appends a child to a given parent node in the host element DOM.

createComment#

createComment(value: string): any
Add a comment to the DOM of the host element.

createElement#

createElement(name: string, namespace?: string|null): any
Create an instance of the host element.* `name` — an identifying name for the new element, unique within the namespace. * `namespace` - the namespace for the new element.

createText#

createText(value: string): any
Add text to the DOM of the host element.

data#

get data(): {[key: string]: any}
Use to store arbitrary developer-defined data on a renderer instance, as an object containing key-value pairs. This is useful for renderers that delegate to other renderers.

destroy#

destroy(): void
Destroy the renderer or the host element.

destroyNode#

destroyNode: ((node: any) => void) | null
If null or undefined, the view engine won't call it. This is used as a performance optimization for production mode.

insertBefore#

insertBefore(parent: any, newChild: any, refChild: any): void
Insert a child node at a given position in a parent node in the host element DOM.* `parent` — the parent node. * `newChild` — the new child nodes. * `refChild` — the existing child node that should precede the new node.

listen#

listen(target: 'window'|'document'|'body'|any, eventName: string, callback: (event: any) => boolean | void): () => void
Start an event listener.* `target` — The context in which to listen for events. Can be the entire window or document, the body of the document, or a specific DOM element. * `eventName` — The event to listen for. * `callback` — A handler function to invoke when the event occurs.

nextSibling#

nextSibling(node: any): any
Get the next sibling node of a given node in the host element's DOM.Returns the sibling node, or null if there is no sibling. For WebWorkers, always returns a value. This is because the check is synchronous, and the caller can't rely on checking for null.

parentNode#

parentNode(node: any): any
Get the parent of a given node in the host element's DOM.Returns the parent node, or null if there is no parent. For WebWorkers, always returns true. This is because the check is synchronous, and the caller can't rely on checking for null.

removeAttribute#

removeAttribute(el: any, name: string, namespace?: string|null): void
Remove an attribute from an element in the DOM.

removeChild#

removeChild(parent: any, oldChild: any, isHostElement?: boolean): void
Remove a child node from the host element's DOM.

removeClass#

removeClass(el: any, name: string): void
Remove a class from an element in the DOM.

removeStyle#

removeStyle(el: any, style: string, flags?: RendererStyleFlags2): void
Remove the value from a CSS style for an element in the DOM.

selectRootElement#

selectRootElement(selectorOrNode: string|any, preserveContent?: boolean): any
Prepare an element to be bootstrapped as a root element, and return the element instance.

setAttribute#

setAttribute(el: any, name: string, value: string, namespace?: string|null): void
Set an attribute value for an element in the DOM.

setProperty#

setProperty(el: any, name: string, value: any): void
Set the value of a property of an element in the DOM.

setStyle#

setStyle(el: any, style: string, value: any, flags?: RendererStyleFlags2): void
Set a CSS style for an element in the DOM.

setValue#

setValue(node: any, value: string): void
Set the value of a node in the host element.
