Dynamically change translateX a div in Angular on scroll - css

I'm trying to move one element to the right dynamically at the same time I'm scrolling.
So far, I've got this code that instantiates the div called text and the way of applying the css:
#ViewChild('text') text!: ElementRef;
constructor(private renderer: Renderer2){}
#HostListener('window: scroll', ['$event'])
onScroll() {
let transformX: Number;
this.renderer.setStyle(this.text.nativeElement, 'transform', `translateX(${ transformX }px)`);
}
However, I need a formula that calculates the translateX depending on the position that we're at.
Not forgetting that the element must be visible on screen (no overflow), thus the importance of that formula

Angular / CSS style change width of row items

I am conceiving a horizontal bar containing items.
They must all be of same width, having the same spacing between them.
They can expand as much as they want vertically (
stackblitz here
Problem:
How to automatically set the width of the row elements? Here I simply put a value that looks good: width:200px.
I want them to have a width dependent on the number of element per row.
What I tried:
Using elementRef in Horizontile (component holding the individual tiles, displaying with *ngFor) to get the width of this element:
currentWidth:number;
constructor(private el:ElementRef) {}
ngAfterViewInit(): void {
this.currentWidth=this.el.nativeElement.offsetWidth;}
it returns 5. (??) Using .width returns nothing. Also this is not recommended, I'd like another solution, less coupling.
I noticed I can make use of width:inherit; in the css of the individual tile component, which allows me to set the style from the horizontal list component.
<app-tile [style.width.px]="0.9*currentWidth/nDisplayedTiles" [tile]="item"></app-tile>
As the currentWidth value is zero, of course it doesn't work;
I tried setting it in % but the inherits css tag keeps the %, which is not the intended effect.
Why is the app-tile styling not cared about if inherits is not set?
I tried using ViewEncapsulation but it had no effect either.
This looks like a trivial matter though: did I just miss something?
You can use the offsetParent (link) width and create a method to return the value on each of the cells and call it in your [style.width.px], something like the following will work.
The HTMLElement.offsetParent read-only property returns a reference to the element which is the closest (nearest in the containment hierarchy) positioned ancestor element.
stackblitz
ngAfterViewInit(): void {
//added this as the compiler was throwing ExpressionChangedAfterItHasBeenCheckedError
setTimeout(() => {
this.currentWidth=this.el.nativeElement.offsetParent.clientWidth;
});
}
getWidth(): number{
let width:number = 0;
//you may need to change this value to better display the cells
let multiplier = 0.7;
width = (this.currentWidth * multiplier) / this.ndisplayTiles;
width = Math.round(width);
return width;
}
<app-tile [class]="'layout-tile'" [tile]="item" [style.width.px]="getWidth()">
</app-tile>

How to override position of primefaces OneMenu?

How to override primefaces OneMenu in order to see it over captcha, ie below? My selectOneMenu have no any changes.
My guess is that the menu panel doesn't have enough space to fit in the lower part, instead it's positioned above, as the aligning of the panel is being set by javascript (PrimeFaces.widget.SelectOneMenu.alignPanel), using the jQuery UI .position() method which allows you to position an element relative to the window, document, another element, or the cursor/mouse, without worrying about offset parents, and the default value for collision attribute is flip (In PrimeFaces 5 it's flipfit) resulting the positioned element overflows the window in some direction, or to move it to an alternative position.
In this case you could implement one of these three solutions:
extend the space on the lower part, maybe adding margin to the
captcha, in this way the panel would fit in bottom.
OR change the hight of the panel
<p:selectOneMenu height="100" >
Making it a bit shorter so it can fit.
OR you can override the PrimeFaces.widget.SelectOneMenu.alignPanel function
to set the collision attribute to none, in the position function:
PrimeFaces 5
PrimeFaces.widget.SelectOneMenu.prototype.alignPanel = function() {
if(this.panel.parent().is(this.jq)) {
this.panel.css({
left: 0,
top: this.jq.innerHeight()
});
}
else {
this.panel.css({left:'', top:''}).position({
my: 'left top'
,at: 'left bottom'
,of: this.jq
,collision: 'none' // changing from flipfit to none
});
}
}
PrimeFaces 4
PrimeFaces.widget.SelectOneMenu.prototype.alignPanel = function() {
var fixedPosition = this.panel.css('position') == 'fixed',
win = $(window),
positionOffset = fixedPosition ? '-' + win.scrollLeft() + ' -' + win.scrollTop() : null;
this.panel.css({left:'', top:''}).position({
my: 'left top'
,at: 'left bottom'
,of: this.jq
,offset : positionOffset
,collision: 'none' // changing from default flip to none
});
}
Of course you should call it in the document.ready, and when you update the component.
I don't recommend this approach too much, but sometimes it's the only solution.
Hope this helps.
For necessary SelectOneMenu add style top find an optimal value and apply it. For me it is:
#registrationForm\:facultyList_panel {
top: 413px !important;
}
UPDATE 09.07: It does not helps for another screen resolution. The question is still relevant.

CSS3 height transition on DOM removal?

Please check the following fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/tWUVe/
When you click the div, the p's get deleted, and I expect that the div's height will be animted, but no animation happens. How can I achieve an animation with CSS3 only?
The issue is that there is no opportunity for the transition to occur. What I mean by this is that when elements are removed, they are immediately taken out of the document flow, resizing the parent if needed without a transition.
As a fix for this, you could animate the height of the paragraphs instead (or a similar means)
$('div').click(function() {
var $thisDiv = $(this);
$thisDiv.find('p').css({'height':'0px','margin':'0px'}); // Change p height
// Remove after transition
setTimeout(function() { $thisDiv.find('p').remove(); }, 1000);
});

Scaling and resizing flex component

I have custom flex component inherited from UIComponent (compiled, no source code access). It has fixed width-to-height proportions and it's scalable. If I set its width and height to 100%, it's trying to fit parent's size, but it keeps width-to-height proportion, so if it's proportion does not equal parent's proportion, there can appear empty space near this component when resizing parent.
What I need, is to fit my component completely to parent's size. Is there any nice way to do this? I could listen to parent's resize event, and play with component's scaleX and scaleY, but may be any better way exists to solve my problem (any property?). Thanks.
A great way is to use greensock's AutoFitArea.
Coding is as simple as the following
var area:AutoFitArea = new AutoFitArea(this, 50, 70, 300, 100);
area.attach(myImage, {scaleMode:ScaleMode.PROPORTIONAL_OUTSIDE, crop:true});
which would constrain whatever is inside do the given dimensions (300,100) from there on out, you can just change the area's width and that will figure it all out for you.
hope it helps
Personally, what I would do is have the component within the parent set at width/height 100%, then within the component itself, override the updateDisplayList function (which returns the unscaled width/height) and then resize whatever children you're trying to display depending on the width/height of this container. Something like this:
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
{
if(this._child!= null)
{
if(unscaledWidth > unscaledHeight)
{
this._child.height = unscaledHeight;
this._child.scaleX = this._video.scaleY;
}else{
this._child.width = unscaledWidth;
this._child.scaleY = this._video.scaleX;
}
}
}
Should do it.
Should the component keep its proportion? If not, you could just, as you said, listen to the resize event of the parent and set the width and height to the components values.
If the component should keep its proportion you could resize the background of your component so that it fits the parents size and resize the content of you component with its proportion seperatly.

is it even possible to expand a (horizontal) list's background with ajax?

I've got a list with list-style-none which needs to be able to add new items to itself via Ajax and have the background expand appropriately when it does. Adding via Ajax is easy, but every solution I try for the background fails me. I don't know if it's even possible; is it? I'm using a grid like this one:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/#display-grid
Both WebKit and Firebug are showing me skinny, empty bars when I hover over the enclosing divs and/or the enclosing ul tag. It appears that the minute you set a list loose with list-style-none and float:wherever, you give up control over its background. But that can't be right.
This is something I've run into a number of times. The problem is that floated elements aren't part of the normal box model, so they don't cause their parent elements to expand unless their parent elements are also floated. So if possible, float the ul or containing div.
Edit:
See quirksmode for another css-only workaround.
Could you provide a sample of your code? Also, why does the list have display:none set?
For instance, should be as simple as this:
HTML:
<ul id="dest"></ul>
JS:
// Simplified example, most likely wrapped in $.ajax
// This is the AJAX response function
function(data, response) {
var items = json.parse(data);
$.each(items, function() {
// Assumes item has a name property
$('#dest').append($('<li>' + this.name + '</li>'));
});
}
Should be just that simple. You shouldn't need the hide the list initially, as you can simply append list items and have the display update appropriately.
Hope that helps.
You need to explicitly set the width and height for the area.
Check out this link for Horizontal Scrolling: http://valums.com/scroll-menu-jquery/
Here is the script:
$(function(){
//Get our elements for faster access and set overlay width
var div = $('div.sc_menu'),
ul = $('ul.sc_menu'),
// unordered list's left margin
ulPadding = 15;
//Get menu width
var divWidth = div.width();
//Remove scrollbars
div.css({overflow: 'hidden'});
//Find last image container
var lastLi = ul.find('li:last-child');
//When user move mouse over menu
div.mousemove(function(e){
//As images are loaded ul width increases,
//so we recalculate it each time
var ulWidth = lastLi[0].offsetLeft + lastLi.outerWidth() + ulPadding;
var left = (e.pageX - div.offset().left) * (ulWidth-divWidth) / divWidth;
div.scrollLeft(left);
});
});
Basically, you need to update the ulWidth and divWidth when you add the new item.
Then just set the background image to repeat horizontally and you should be set.
ul.sc_menu {background:transparent url(image.png) repeat scroll 0 0;height:100px}
Note: You will need to set the height; otherwise you will not see the background because the li are floated.
For dealing with the float element, maybe you should know it's characteristic, gotcha, and how to deal with it.
See the links below, it also have demo, so you can understand the concept:
