[javascript] How to pass multiple parameter to @Directives (@Components) in Angular with TypeScript?

Since I've created @Directive as SelectableDirective, I'm little bit confused, about how to pass more than one value to the custom directive. I have searched a lot but didn't get proper solution in Angular with Typescript.

Here is what my sample code is:

Parent Component as MCQComponent:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Question } from '../question/question';
import { AppService } from '../app.service/app.service';
import { SelectableDirective } from '../selectable.directive/selectable.directive';
import { ResultComponent } from '../result-component/result.component';

@Component({
    selector: 'mcq-component',
    template: "
         .....
        <div *ngIf = 'isQuestionView'>
            <ul>
                <li *ngFor = 'let opt of currentQuestion.options' 
                    [selectable] = 'opt'
                    (selectedOption) = 'onOptionSelection($event)'>
                    {{opt.option}}
                </li>
            </ul>
            .....
        </div>

    "
    providers: [AppService],
    directives: [SelectableDirective, ResultComponent]
})
export class MCQComponent implements OnInit{
    private currentIndex:any = 0;
    private currentQuestion:Question = new Question();
    private questionList:Array<Question> = [];
    ....
    constructor(private appService: AppService){}
    ....
}

This is a parent component having custom directive [selectable] which takes one param called opt.

Here is the code for this directive:

import { Directive, HostListener, ElementRef, Input, Output, EventEmitter } from '@angular/core'
import { Question } from '../question/question';

@Directive({
    selector: '[selectable]'
})
export class SelectableDirective{
    private el: HTMLElement;
    @Input('selectable') option:any;

    ...
}

So here I want to pass more parameters from parent component, how do I achieve this?

Similar to the above solutions I used @Input() in a directive and able to pass multiple arrays of values in the directive.

selector: '[selectorHere]',

@Input() options: any = {};

Input.html

<input selectorHere [options]="selectorArray" />

Array from TS file

selectorArray= {
  align: 'left',
  prefix: '$',
  thousands: ',',
  decimal: '.',
  precision: 2
};

Another neat option is to use the Directive as an element and not as an attribute.

@Directive({
   selector: 'app-directive'
})
export class InformativeDirective implements AfterViewInit {

    @Input()
    public first: string;

    @Input()
    public second: string;

    ngAfterViewInit(): void {
       console.log(`Values: ${this.first}, ${this.second}`);
    }
}

And this directive can be used like that:

<app-someKindOfComponent>
    <app-directive [first]="'first 1'" [second]="'second 1'">A</app-directive>
    <app-directive [first]="'First 2'" [second]="'second 2'">B</app-directive>
    <app-directive [first]="'First 3'" [second]="'second 3'">C</app-directive>
</app-someKindOfComponent>`

Simple, neat and powerful.

to pass many options you can pass a object to a @Input decorator with custom data in a single line.

In the template

<li *ngFor = 'let opt of currentQuestion.options' 
                [selectable] = 'opt'
                [myOptions] ="{first: opt.val1, second: opt.val2}" // these are your multiple parameters
                (selectedOption) = 'onOptionSelection($event)' >
     {{opt.option}}
</li>

so in Directive class

@Directive({
  selector: '[selectable]'
})

export class SelectableDirective{
  private el: HTMLElement;
  @Input('selectable') option:any;
  @Input('myOptions') data;

  //do something with data.first
  ...
  // do something with data.second
}
