Angular 2 Hover event

Question

In the new Angular2 framework, does anyone know the proper way to do a hover like an event?

In Angular1 there was ng-Mouseov

Answer 1

In your js/ts file for the html that will be hovered

@Output() elemHovered: EventEmitter<any> = new EventEmitter<any>();
onHoverEnter(): void {
    this.elemHovered.emit([`The button was entered!`,this.event]);
}

onHoverLeave(): void {
    this.elemHovered.emit([`The button was left!`,this.event])
}

In your HTML that will be hovered

 (mouseenter) = "onHoverEnter()" (mouseleave)="onHoverLeave()"

In your js/ts file that will receive info of the hovering

elemHoveredCatch(d): void {
    console.log(d)
}

In your HTML element that is connected with catching js/ts file

(elemHovered) = "elemHoveredCatch($event)"

You can do it with a host:

import { Directive, ElementRef, Input } from '@angular/core';

@Directive({
  selector: '[myHighlight]',
  host: {
    '(mouseenter)': 'onMouseEnter()',
    '(mouseleave)': 'onMouseLeave()'
  }
})
export class HighlightDirective {
  private _defaultColor = 'blue';
  private el: HTMLElement;

  constructor(el: ElementRef) { this.el = el.nativeElement; }

  @Input('myHighlight') highlightColor: string;

  onMouseEnter() { this.highlight(this.highlightColor || this._defaultColor); }
  onMouseLeave() { this.highlight(null); }

   private highlight(color:string) {
    this.el.style.backgroundColor = color;
  }

}

Just adapt it to your code (found at: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/attribute-directives.html )

@Component({
    selector: 'drag-drop',
    template: `
        <h1>Drag 'n Drop</h1>
        <div #container 
             class="container"
             (mousemove)="onMouseMove( container)">
            <div #draggable 
                 class="draggable"
                 (mousedown)="onMouseButton( container)"
                 (mouseup)="onMouseButton( container)">
            </div>
        </div>`,

})

yes there is on-mouseover in angular2 instead of ng-Mouseover like in angular 1.x so you have to write this :-

<div on-mouseover='over()' style="height:100px; width:100px; background:#e2e2e2">hello mouseover</div>

over(){
    console.log("Mouseover called");
  }

As @Gunter Suggested in comment there is alternate of on-mouseover we can use this too. Some people prefer the on- prefix alternative, known as the canonical form.

Update

HTML Code -

<div (mouseover)='over()' (mouseout)='out()' style="height:100px; width:100px; background:#e2e2e2">hello mouseover</div>

Controller/.TS Code -

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]
})
export class AppComponent  {
  name = 'Angular';

  over(){
    console.log("Mouseover called");
  }

  out(){
    console.log("Mouseout called");
  }
}

Working Example

Some other Mouse events can be used in Angular -

(mouseenter)="myMethod()"
(mousedown)="myMethod()"
(mouseup)="myMethod()"

If you are interested in the mouse entering or leaving one of your components you can use the @HostListener decorator:

import { Component, HostListener, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-component',
  templateUrl: './my-component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./my-component.scss']
})
export class MyComponent implements OnInit {

  @HostListener('mouseenter') 
  onMouseEnter() {
    this.highlight('yellow');
  }

  @HostListener('mouseleave') 
  onMouseLeave() {
    this.highlight(null);
  }

...

}

As explained in the link in @Brandon comment to OP (https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/attribute-directives.html)

Answer 6

Simply do (mouseenter) attribute in Angular2+...

In your HTML do:

<div (mouseenter)="mouseHover($event)">Hover!</div> 

and in your component do:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'component',
  templateUrl: './component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./component.scss']
})

export class MyComponent implements OnInit {

  mouseHover(e) {
    console.log('hovered', e);
  }
}
