I am trying to change the page title from the router, can this be done?
import {RouteConfig} from \'angular2/router\';
@RouteConfig([
{path: \'/home\', com
This is what I went with:
constructor(private router: Router, private title: Title) { }
ngOnInit() {
this.router.events.subscribe(event => {
if (event instanceof NavigationEnd) {
this.title.setTitle(this.recursivelyGenerateTitle(this.router.routerState.snapshot.root).join(' - '));
}
});
}
recursivelyGenerateTitle(snapshot: ActivatedRouteSnapshot) {
var titleParts = <string[]>[];
if (snapshot) {
if (snapshot.firstChild) {
titleParts = titleParts.concat(this.recursivelyGenerateTitle(snapshot.firstChild));
}
if (snapshot.data['title']) {
titleParts.push(snapshot.data['title']);
}
}
return titleParts;
}
In the below example:
-We added object of data: { title: 'NAME' } to any routing object.
-We set a basic name ("CTM") for uploading time (when clicking F5 for Refreash..): <title>CTM</title>
.
-We added "TitleService" class.
-we handle Routher events by filtering them from app.component.ts.
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<base href="/">
<title>CTM</title>
</head>
...
app.module.ts:
import { NgModule, enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { TitleService } from './shared/title.service';
...
@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,
..
],
declarations: [
AppComponent,
...
],
providers: [
TitleService,
...
],
bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule { }
enableProdMode();
title.service.ts:
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Title } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { ActivatedRouteSnapshot } from '@angular/router';
@Injectable()
export class TitleService extends Title {
constructor() {
super();
}
private recursivelyGenerateTitle(snapshot: ActivatedRouteSnapshot) {
var titleParts = <string[]>[];
if (snapshot) {
if (snapshot.firstChild) {
titleParts = this.recursivelyGenerateTitle(snapshot.firstChild);
}
if (snapshot.data['title']) {
titleParts.push(snapshot.data['title']);
}
}
return titleParts;
}
public CTMGenerateTitle(snapshot: ActivatedRouteSnapshot) {
this.setTitle("CTM | " + this.recursivelyGenerateTitle(snapshot).join(' - '));
}
}
app-routing.module.ts:
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { MainComponent } from './components/main.component';
import { Router, CanActivate } from '@angular/router';
import { AuthGuard } from './shared/auth/auth-guard.service';
import { AuthService } from './shared/auth/auth.service';
export const routes: Routes = [
{ path: 'dashboard', component: MainComponent, canActivate: [AuthGuard], data: { title: 'Main' } },
];
@NgModule({
imports: [
RouterModule.forRoot(routes, { useHash: true }) // .../#/crisis-center/
],
exports: [RouterModule],
providers: [
..
]
})
export class AppRoutingModule { }
export const componentsOfAppRoutingModule = [MainComponent];
app.component.ts:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Router, NavigationEnd, ActivatedRouteSnapshot } from '@angular/router';
import { TitleService } from './shared/title.service';
@Component({
selector: 'ctm-app',
template: `
<!--<a [routerLink]="['/dashboard']">Dashboard</a>
<a [routerLink]="['/login']">Login</a>
<a [routerLink]="['/']">Rooting</a>-->
<router-outlet></router-outlet>
`
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor(private router: Router, private titleService: TitleService) {
this.router.events.filter((event) => event instanceof NavigationEnd).subscribe((event) => {
console.log("AppComponent.constructor: Setting HTML document's Title");
this.titleService.CTMGenerateTitle(this.router.routerState.snapshot.root);
});
}
}
The Title service @EricMartinez points out has a setTitle()
method - that's all you need to set the title.
In terms of doing it automatically on route changes, as of now there's no built-in way of doing this other than subscribing to Router and calling setTitle()
in your callback:
import {RouteConfig} from 'angular2/router';
import {Title} from 'angular2/platform/browser';
@RouteConfig([
{path: '/home', component: HomeCmp, name: 'HomeCmp' }
])
class MyApp {
constructor(router:Router, title:Title) {
router.events.subscribe((event)=>{ //fires on every URL change
title.setTitle(getTitleFor(router.url));
});
}
}
That said, I emphasize as of now because the router is still under heavy development, and I expect (or at least hope) that we'll be able to do this via RouteConfig
in the final release.
EDIT:
As of the release of Angular 2 (2.0.0), a few things have changed:
Title
service are now here: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/api/platform-browser/index/Title-class.html'@angular/platform-browser'
I can also recommend @ngx-meta/core plugin plugin that I've just released, in the case if you're looking for a method to set page title and meta tags dynamically.
Angular 6+ I have modify the old code using new Pipe() and its working fine.
import { Title } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { filter, map, mergeMap } from 'rxjs/operators';
...
constructor(
private router: Router,
public activatedRoute: ActivatedRoute,
public titleService: Title,
) {
this.setTitle();
}
....
setTitle() {
this.router.events.pipe(
filter((event) => event instanceof NavigationEnd),
map(() => this.activatedRoute),
map((route: any) => {
while (route.firstChild) route = route.firstChild;
return route;
}),
filter((route) => route.outlet === 'primary'),
mergeMap((route: any) => route.data)).subscribe((event) => {
this.titleService.setTitle(event['title']);
console.log('Page Title', event['title']);
})
}
Simple generic way to set the title:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Title } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { ActivatedRoute, Router, NavigationEnd } from '@angular/router';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor(
private activatedRoute: ActivatedRoute,
private router: Router,
private titleService: Title
) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.router.events.subscribe(event => {
if (event instanceof NavigationEnd) {
const { title } = this.activatedRoute.firstChild.snapshot.data;
this.titleService.setTitle(title);
}
});
}
}
where title
needs to be set on each route like:
{ path: '', component: WelcomeComponent, data: {title: 'Welcome to my app'} }
