You should use the *ngIf Directive
<div *ngIf="edited" class="alert alert-success box-msg" role="alert">
<strong>List Saved!</strong> Your changes has been saved.
</div>
export class AppComponent implements OnInit{
(...)
public edited = false;
(...)
saveTodos(): void {
//show box msg
this.edited = true;
//wait 3 Seconds and hide
setTimeout(function() {
this.edited = false;
console.log(this.edited);
}.bind(this), 3000);
}
}
Update: you are missing the reference to the outer scope when you are inside the Timeout callback.
so add the .bind(this) like I added Above
Q : edited is a global variable. What would be your approach within a *ngFor-loop? – Blauhirn
A : I would add edit as a property to the object I am iterating over.
<div *ngFor="let obj of listOfObjects" *ngIf="obj.edited" class="alert alert-success box-msg" role="alert">
<strong>List Saved!</strong> Your changes has been saved.
</div>
export class AppComponent implements OnInit{
public listOfObjects = [
{
name : 'obj - 1',
edit : false
},
{
name : 'obj - 2',
edit : false
},
{
name : 'obj - 2',
edit : false
}
];
saveTodos(): void {
//show box msg
this.edited = true;
//wait 3 Seconds and hide
setTimeout(function() {
this.edited = false;
console.log(this.edited);
}.bind(this), 3000);
}
}
