Angular Toolbar Overview

    The Angular Toolbar component is a companion container for UI operations to be used primarily with our charting components. The toolbar will dynamically update with a preset of properties and tool items when linked to our IgxDataChartComponent or IgxCategoryChartComponent components. You'll be able to create custom tools for your project allowing end users to provide changes, offering an endless amount of customization.

    Angular Toolbar Example

    Dependencies

    Install the Ignite UI for Angular layouts, inputs, charts and core packages:

    npm install igniteui-angular-layouts
npm install igniteui-angular-inputs
npm install igniteui-angular-charts
npm install igniteui-angular-core

    The following modules are required when using the IgxToolbarComponent with the IgxDataChartComponent component and it's features.

    import { IgxToolbarModule } from 'igniteui-angular-layouts';
import { IgxDataChartToolbarModule, IgxDataChartCoreModule, IgxDataChartCategoryModule, IgxDataChartAnnotationModule, IgxDataChartInteractivityModule, IgxDataChartCategoryTrendLineModule  } from 'igniteui-angular-charts';

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        IgxToolbarModule,
        IgxDataChartToolbarModule,
        IgxDataChartCoreModule,
        IgxDataChartCategoryModule,
        IgxDataChartAnnotationModule,
        IgxDataChartInteractivityModule,
        IgxDataChartCategoryTrendLineModule
        // ...
    ]
})
export class AppModule {}

    import { IgxToolbarModule } from 'igniteui-react-layouts';
import { IgrDataChartToolbarModule, IgrDataChartCoreModule, IgrDataChartCategoryModule, IgrDataChartAnnotationModule, IgrDataChartInteractivityModule, IgrDataChartCategoryTrendLineModule  } from 'igniteui-react-charts';

IgxToolbarModule.register();
IgrDataChartToolbarModule.register();
IgrDataChartCoreModule.register();
IgrDataChartCategoryModule.register();
IgrDataChartAnnotationModule.register();
IgrDataChartInteractivityModule.register();
IgrDataChartCategoryTrendLineModule.register();

    Usage

    Tool Actions

    The following is a list of the different IgxToolActionComponent items that you can add to the Toolbar.

    Each of these tools exposes an OnCommand event that is triggered by mouse click. Note, the IgxToolActionIconMenuComponent is a wrapper for other tools that can also be wrapped inside a IgxToolActionIconMenuComponent.

    New and existing tools can be repositioned and marked hidden using the overlayId, beforeId and afterId properties on the IgxToolActionComponent object. ToolActions also expose a visibility property.

    The following example demonstrates a couple of features. First you can group tools together in the IgxToolActionSubPanelComponent including hiding built in tools such as the ZoomReset and AnalyzeMenu menu tool actions. In this example a new instance of the ZoomReset tool action within the ZoomMenu by using the the afterId property and assigning that to ZoomOut to be precise with it's placement. It is also highlighted via the isHighlighted property on the tool.

    Angular Data Chart Integration

    The Angular Toolbar contains a Target property. This is used to link a component, such as the IgxDataChartComponent as shown in the code below:

      <div class="legend">
    <igx-toolbar
      name="toolbar"
      [target]="chart"
      #toolbar>
    </igx-toolbar>
  </div>
  <div class="container fill">
    <igx-data-chart
    name="chart"
    #chart>
  </igx-data-chart>

    Several pre-existing IgxToolActionComponent items and menus become available when the IgxDataChartComponent is linked with the Toolbar. Here is a list of the built-in Angular IgxDataChartComponent Tool Actions and their associated overlayId:

    Zooming Actions

    Trend Actions

    Save to Image Action

    • CopyAsImage: A IgxToolActionLabelComponent that exposes an option to copy the chart to the clipboard.
    • CopyHeader: A sub section header.

    SVG Icons

    When adding tools manually, icons can be assigned using the RenderIconFromText method. There are three paramters to pass in this method. The first is the icon collection name defined on the tool eg. iconCollectionName. The second is the name of the icon defined on the tool eg. iconName, followed by adding the SVG string.

    Data URL Icons

    Similarly to adding svg, you can also add an Icon image from a URL via the RegisterIconFromDataURL. The method's third parameter would be used to enter a string URL.

    The following snippet shows both methods of adding an Icon.

    <igx-tool-action-label
    title="Custom Icon"
    iconName="CustomIcon"
    iconCollectionName="CustomCollection">
</igx-tool-action-label>

```tsx
<IgrToolbar orientation="Vertical" />

    Vertical Orientation

    By default the Angular Toolbar is shown horizontally, but it also has the ability to shown vertically by setting the orientation property.

    <igx-toolbar orientation="Vertical" />

    The following example demonstrates the vertical orientation of the Angular Toolbar.

    Color Editor

    You can add a custom color editor tool to the the Angular Toolbar, which will also work with the Command event to perform custom styling to your application.

    <igx-toolbar
  name="toolbar"
  #toolbar>
      <igx-tool-action-color-editor
      title="Series Brush"
      name="colorEditorTool"
      #colorEditorTool>
      </igx-tool-action-color-editor>
</igx-toolbar>

    <igc-toolbar
  name="toolbar"
  id="toolbar">
      <igc-tool-action-color-editor
      title="Series Brush Color"
      name="colorEditorTool"
      id="colorEditorTool">
      </igc-tool-action-color-editor>
</igc-toolbar>

    The following example demonstrates styling the Angular Data Chart series brush with the Color Editor tool.
