Angular-material: Input-group And Md-buttons On Same Line


Answer :

Try the following code: 

<form layout layout-align="center" layout-padding>     <div layout="row" flex>         <md-input-container flex class="md-icon-float md-block md-title">             <label>Your font number</label>             <!-- below is the material icons -->             <md-icon class="material-icons">phone</md-icon>             <input type="text">         </md-input-container>         <div>             <md-button class="md-raised">             <!-- below is the material icons -->                 <md-icon class="material-icons">search</md-icon>             </md-button>         </div>     </div>   </form>

Would like to provide a contemporary answer to this popular question.

1. Use [matSuffix] on the button

Angular Material got you back on that one and provide matSuffix directive to place an element at the end of the form field.

Hence, your solution would look like:

  <mat-form-field>     <mat-placeholder>Search reports</mat-placeholder>       <input matInput type="search">       <button mat-button matSuffix mat-stroked-button aria-label="search">         <mat-icon>search</mat-icon>     </button>   </mat-form-field>

See the full code of the example at https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-mvndsv.

2. Make mat-form-field to fill the width

To fulfil the width of the parent element, alter the style of mat-form-field:

mat-form-field.mat-form-field {   width: 100%; }

3. Use CSS 'flex' properties, not @angular/flex-layout directives

For big project, I'd recommend to use flex CSS properties and avoid using flex directives from @angular/flex-layout package.

While at the first glance, it may look handy to put a flex directive, rather than writing CSS styles, it will backfire on a bigger projects once the project start growing and you build your CSS classes and mixins and start extending them in the components:

  1. 'flex' directives would bring ambiguity on where the style properties get applied from.
  2. Debugging issues requires understanding the actual CSS flex properties, as you see/manipulate them in the browser's developer tools. So using the 'flex' directives:
    • would require devs to understand how the directive's properties get converted to the CSS;
    • and once they've got working CSS they have to manually convert it to directives, which introduces another point of failure.

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
