Maintainers Wanted

This project was originally intended to be only consumed by my NG applications. I'm now working full-time on React related project only and it's been a while since I did look into Angular related code.

However, since there are now several people relying on this small and simple package, I'm looking for volunteers to actiely look after this project. If anyone is interested, please reply into this ticket.

Installation

1. Install the component using npm
2. angular2-cookie-law depends on the Angular animations module in order to be able to do more advanced transitions. If you want these animations to work in your app, you have to install the @angular/animations module and include the BrowserAnimationsModule in your app.

# To get the latest stable version and update package.json file:
$ npm install angular2-cookie-law@6 @angular/animations --save

or yarn with:

$ yarn add angular2-cookie-law @angular/animations

Setup

angular2-cookie-law class is an Angular module therefore, it needs to be registered in the modules array (encouraged way):

// app.module.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { CookieLawModule } from 'angular2-cookie-law';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule, // BrowserAnimationsModule is required
    CookieLawModule // import Angular's CookieLaw modules
  ],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

Usage

// app.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  template: `
    <cookie-law></cookie-law>
  `
})
export class AppComponent  { }

Example

// app.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  template: `
    <h1>
      Hello World!
    </h1>

    <cookie-law></cookie-law>
  `
})

Options

Attributes

learnMore

If set to a valid absolute or relative URL, it will render an extra 'learn more' link pointing to the link.

Example

<cookie-law learnMore="/learn-more"></cookie-law>

awsomeCloseIcon

Font Awsome is required in your header for this feature to work.

<script defer src="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.0.6/js/all.js"></script>

If set to a Font awsome Icon e.g. "fa-window-close" it will replace the standard SVG with the Font awsome Icon.

Example

<cookie-law awsomeCloseIcon="fa-window-close"></cookie-law>

target

Set to _self if you want the external link not to be opened in a new tab.

Example

<cookie-law learnMore="/learn-more" target="_self"></cookie-law>

position

Allows you to decide where in the page, the banner will be rendered. Possible values are: "bottom" and "top".

Example

<cookie-law position="top" learnMore="/learn-more" target="_self"></cookie-law>

name

Allows you to decide which name will be used for storing the cookie in the client's browser.

Example

<cookie-law name="myShinyCookieLaw"></cookie-law>

The previous example will generate a myShinyCookieLaw=true as soon as the user dismiss the banner.

</cookie-law>
