Listview

Basic usage

The listview component can be used to enhance list with gesture, swipe and drag & drop support.

Here's a basic example of displaying a static list:

Basic example
<!-- Simple listview -->
<mbsc-listview>
    <mbsc-listview-item>Item 1</mbsc-listview-item>
    <mbsc-listview-item>Item 2</mbsc-listview-item>
    <mbsc-listview-item>Item 3</mbsc-listview-item>
</mbsc-listview>

<!-- Listview with groups -->
<mbsc-listview>
    <mbsc-listview-header>First Group</mbsc-listview-header>
    <mbsc-listview-item>Item 1</mbsc-listview-item>
    <mbsc-listview-item>Item 2</mbsc-listview-item>
    <mbsc-listview-header>Second Group</mbsc-listview-header>
    <mbsc-listview-item>Item 3</mbsc-listview-item>
    <mbsc-listview-header>Third Group</mbsc-listview-header>
</mbsc-listview>

Rendering items dynamically

Using the angular built in ngFor directive to render the listview items dynamically:

Dynamic items
<mbsc-listview>
    <mbsc-listview-item *ngFor="let item in listItems">{{item}}</mbsc-listview-item>
</mbsc-listview>
export class MyExampleComponent {
    listItems: string[] = ['Item 1', 'Item 2', 'Item 3'];
}

Adding & Removing items

When the listview items are generated dynamically from an array, adding and removing items are done by pushing and removing items to and from the associated data array.

Add/remove list items
<mbsc-listview>
    <mbsc-listview-item *ngFor="let item in listItems">{{item}}</mbsc-listview-item>
</mbsc-listview>

<mbsc-button (click)="addNextItem()">Add Item</mbsc-button>
<mbsc-button (click)="removeLastItem()">Remove Last</mbsc-button>
export class MyExampleComponent {
    listItems: string[] = ['Item 1', 'Item 2', 'Item 3'];

    addNextItem(): void {
        this.listItems.push('Item ' + (this.listItems.length + 1));
    }

    removeLastItem(): void {
        this.listItems.pop();
    }
}

It is a common practice to fetch items from a service and populate the listview.

Here is an example of getting the listview items from an API that serves JSON data. The example uses the angular built in Http service.

Fetching items from a service
<mbsc-listview>
    <mbsc-listview-item *ngFor="let item of data">{{item}}</mbsc-listview-item>
</mbsc-listview>
import { Http } from '@angular/http';
import { OnInit } from '@angular/core';

export class MyExampleComponent {
    data: any[] = [];

    constructor(private http: Http) {}

    ngOnInit() {
        this.http.get('//some-server.com/some-api.json').subscribe(res => {
            this.data = JSON.parse(res._body); // response should be an array of items ex.: ['item 1', 'item 2']
        });
    }
}

Customizing the listview

The listview can be customized with various settings. These settings can be passed to the listview as individual settings inline or grouped into one object.

Example of passing settings
<!-- Passing individual settings inline -->
<mbsc-listview theme="ios" [swipe]="false" [striped]="true" >
    <mbsc-listview-item>Item 1</mbsc-listview-item>
    <mbsc-listview-item>Item 2</mbsc-listview-item>
    <mbsc-listview-item>Item 3</mbsc-listview-item>
</mbsc-listview>

<!-- Passin all settings grouped into an object -->
<mbsc-listview [options]="myGroupedOptions" >
    <mbsc-listview-item>Item 1</mbsc-listview-item>
    <mbsc-listview-item>Item 2</mbsc-listview-item>
    <mbsc-listview-item>Item 3</mbsc-listview-item>
</mbsc-listview>
export class MyExampleComponent {
    myGroupedOptions: MbscListviewOptions = {
        theme: 'ios',
        swipe: false,
        striped: true
    };
}

Handling selection and swipe

There are multiple ways of selecting an item on the listview depending on the use case. Here are the most common ones:

Example of selection and swipe
<!-- removing items on swipe -->
<mbsc-listview [options]="myGroupedOptions">
    <mbsc-listview-item *ngFor="let item of data" [id]="item.id" (click)="selected(item)">{{item.text}}</mbsc-listview-item>
</mbsc-listview>
export class MyExampleComponent {
    data: any[] = [{ id: 1, text: 'Item 1' }, { id: 2, text: 'Item 2' }];
    
    myGroupedOptions: MbscListviewOptions = {
        swipe: 'left',
        swipeLeft: (e, inst) => {
            this.data.splice(e.index, 1); // removes the swiped item
        }
    };

    selected(i: any): void {
        console.log('Selected ' + i.text);
    }
}

Passing events

All events can be used inline with the component. When passing event handlers inline, the instance of the component becomes the inst property of the event object.

Passing inline event handlers
<!-- simple handler -->
<mbsc-listview (onItemTap)="simpleTap()">
    ...
</mbsc-listview>

<!-- handler with default event -->
<mbsc-listview (onItemTap)="withDefaultEvent($event)">
    ...
</mbsc-listview>

<!-- handler with additional parameter -->
<mbsc-listview (onItemTap)="withAdditionalEvent($event, 'myAddition')">
    ...
</mbsc-listview>

export class MyExampleComponent {
    // simple handler without any parameters
    simpleTap() {
        console.log('simple handler'); // prints 'simple handler'
    }

    // event handler with the default event parameter
    withDefaultEvent(event: any) {
        console.log(event, event.inst); // prints the event object and the mobiscroll listview control instance
    }

    // event handler with additional parameters
    withAdditionalEvent(event: any, addition: string) {
        console.log(addition); // prints 'myAddition'
    }
}

Options

Name Type Default value Description
actionable boolean true If set to false, hover effects on the listview items will be turned off. This option can be defined inside the itemGroups setting as well for specific items.
actions Array, Object undefined An array or an object which defines an icon list whit different actions. If an array, the same icon list will be displayed on both left and right swipe. An action object has the following properties:
  • icon - Icon of the action.
  • color (Optional) - Color of the action.
  • text (Optional) - Text of the action.
  • disabled - Indicates if the action of the stage is disabled or not. If true, the action will not be executed and the item is reverted to the original position. Function is also accepted, receives the Mobiscroll Listview object and the event object as parameters.
  • action - A function which is executed if the swipe is finished and the stage was active. Receives the Mobiscroll Listview object and the event object as parameters.
  • undo - Indicates if the action can be undone. If true or a function, an undo icon will appear after the action is executed. All the UI operations on the listview will be restored (e.g. remove, add, move, sort). If other, user defined operations needs to be undone, (e.g. server side operations), they should be specified in the undo function.


A sample action array: 
[   
    {    
        icon: 'thumbs-up',  
        action: (event, inst) => {}
    },
    {
        icon: 'thumbs-up2',  
        action: (event, inst) => {}
    }
]

If an object, a different icon list can be defined to both sides, swipe will be allowed just for the defined side.

A sample action object: 
{   
    left: [
        { 
            icon: 'smiley2',  
            action: (event, inst) => {}
        },
        { 
            icon: 'remove',  
            disabled: (event, inst) => {
                // Disable this action only for the item with 12 as id. 
                if (event.target.getAttribute('data-id') === '12') {
                    return true;
                }
            },
            action: (event, inst) => {}
        }
    ],
    right: [
        { 
            icon: 'heart',  
            action: (event, inst) => {}
        },
        { 
            icon: 'plus', 
            disabled: true,
            action: (event, inst) => {}
        }
    ]
}
actionsWidth Number 90 Specifies the width in percentage of the actions container.
animateAddRemove Boolean true If set to false, item add and remove will not be animated.
animateIcons Boolean true If false the icon won't be animated when a list item is swiped.
context String, HTMLElement 'body' The scrollable DOM element containing the listview. Can be a selector string or a DOM element.
display String 'inline' Controls the position of the listview. Possible values:
  • 'inline' - Stay in the normal document flow.
fillAnimation Boolean true If true the sortable item will be highlighted with a fill animation.
fixedHeader Boolean false If true, the group headers will be positioned as fixed (will stay on top, if it's scrolled out of view, until the next group header is reached).
hover String, Object undefined On a list item mouse pointer hover shows the underlying action menu. The direction of the reveal can be specified by passing 'left' or 'right' parameter, or with the hover objects direction property. The hover object can have a time and a timeout property to define the reveal animation time and the hover start timeout in milliseconds.

Sample hover object: 
{    
    time: 300,        // reveal animation time, by default is 200ms
    timeout: 150,     // hover start timeout, by default is 200ms
    direction: "left" // direction of the reveal, by default is "right"
}
iconSlide Boolean false If true, the icon and text of an action is slided along the edge of the slided item.
itemGroups Object undefined It can be used to define different actions and settings for a group of items. The items can be grouped using the data-type attribute of the list element. If an item has no data-type attribute, the settings defined outside itemGroups will be used.

HTML
<ul id="mylist">
    <li data-type="type1">Item 1</li>
    <li data-type="type2">Item 2</li>
    <li data-type="type3">Item 3</li>
</ul>
Javascript
$('#mylist').mobiscroll().listview({
    itemGroups: {
        type1: {
            stages: [ /* Define stages here */ ],
            tap: function () { alert('Tap on type 1'); }
        },
        type2: {
            actions: [ /* Define actions here */ ]
            tap: function () { alert('Tap on type 2'); }
        }
        type3: {
            swipe: false
        }
    }
});
loadingIcon String 'loop2' Specifies the icon inside the loading content.
navigateOnDrop Boolean false If the list is sortable and multiLevel flag is set, if an element is dropped on a parent element, or back button, the element will be appended to the sublist / parent list. The navigateOnDrop is true, after the element is dropped, the list will be navigated to the sub list or parent list.
quickSwipe Boolean true If true, a quick swipe (duration is less than 300ms and movement is more than 50px) executes the action of the first stage in the swipe direction, even if the stage's percent is not reached.
select String 'off' Defines the selection of the items. Possible values:
  • 'single' - Only one item can be selected at once.
  • 'multiple' - Multiple items can be selected.
  • 'off' - Selection is off.
sortable Boolean
Object		 undefined If true, or an object the list will be sortable. By passing an object, you can set additional sort options:
  • handle - If true or 'right' a sort handle will appear in the right side if 'left' on the left side of the list items, which only allows sort if touch started on the handle (false if not specified).
  • group - If true, sort is allowed between groups (true if not specified).
  • multiLevel - If true, sort is allowed between levels of the hierarchy (true if not specified).
sortDelay Number 200 Delay after tap in milliseconds until sort mode is activated on the item.
stages Array , Object [] An array of objects which defines the different stages when swiping a list item. Or it can be an object with 'left' and 'right' property with which different stages can be defined for both sides.

A stage object has the following properties:
  • percent (Optional) - The percentage of swipe when the stage activates. Use positive values for right swipe, negative values for left swipe. Percentage is autogenerated if is not specified.
  • color (Optional) - Background color behind the swiped list item when the stage is active.
  • icon (Optional) - Icon to show when the stage is active.
  • text (Optional) - Text to show when the stage is active. Function is also accepted, receives the jQuery object of the swiped list item, the item's index in the list as parameters, and the Mobiscroll Listview object.
  • confirm (Optional) - Indicates if the action of the stage should be confirmed or not. If yes, the item is not reverted after slide ends, and a tap on the stage (icon, text, or background) confirms the action, tapping everywhere else cancels the action. Function is also accepted, receives the jQuery object of the swiped list item, the item's index in the list as parameters, and the Mobiscroll Listview object.
  • disabled (Optional) - Indicates if the action of the stage is disabled or not. If true, the action will not be executed and the item is reverted to the original position. Function is also accepted, receives the Mobiscroll Listview object and the event object as parameters.
  • key (Optional) - specify a unique identifier. It uses the openStage function for opening stages programmatically.
  • action (Optional) - A function which is executed if the swipe is finished and the stage was active. Receives the Mobiscroll Listview object and the event object as parameters.
  • undo (Optional) - Indicates if the action can be undone. If true or a function, an undo icon will appear after the action is executed. All the UI operations on the listview will be restored (e.g. remove, add, move, sort). If other, user defined operations needs to be undone, (e.g. server side operations), they should be specified in the undo function.

<div class="mbsc-ic mbsc-ic-star"></div>
A sample stage array: 
[   
    {    
        percent: -20,
        color: "red",
        icon: "minus",
        disabled: true,
        action: (event, inst) => {}
    },
    { 
        percent: 20,
        color: "green",
        icon: "plus",
        disabled: (event, inst) => {
            // Disable this action only for the item with 12 as id. 
            if (event.target.getAttribute('data-id') === '12') {
                return true;
            }
        },
        action: (event, inst) => {}
    }
]
A sample stage object: 
{
    left: [
        {   
            key: "stage1", 
            icon: "phone", 
            color: "crimson", 
            text: "call", 
            action: (event, inst) => {}
        },
    ],
    right: [
        { 
            key: "stage3", 
            icon: "bubble", 
            color: "olive", 
            text: "Message", 
            action: (event, inst) => {}
        }
    ]
}
striped Boolean false If true, the list items will have alternate (striped) styling.
swipe Boolean, String, or Function true If false, swipe is not allowed.
If 'left' or 'right', swipe is allowed only in the given direction.
If a function, the returned value will be used, which can be any of the above. Receives an argument object and the Listview instance as parameters. The arguments object has the following properties:
  • target:HTMLElement - The list item the swipe was initiated on.
  • index:Number - Index of the item in the list.
  • direction:String - Direction of the swipe gesture, 'left' or 'right'.
swipeleft Function undefined Action to execute when a list item is swiped left. Receives an argument object and the Listview instance as parameters. The arguments object has the following properties:
  • target:HTMLElement - The list item the swipe was initiated on.
  • index:Number - Index of the item in the list.
swiperight Function undefined Action to execute when a list item is swiped right. Receives an argument object and the Listview instance as parameters. The arguments object has the following properties:
  • target:HTMLElement - The list item the swipe was initiated on.
  • index:Number - Index of the item in the list.
theme String undefined

Sets the visual appearance of the component.

If it is 'auto' or undefined, the theme will automatically be chosen based on the platform.

If the theme for the specific platform is not present, it will default to the Mobiscroll theme.

Supplied themes:
  • 'ios' - iOS theme
  • 'material' - Material theme
  • 'mobiscroll' - Mobiscroll theme
  • 'windows' - Windows theme
It's possible to modify theme colors or create custom themes.
Starting from v4.9.0 setting directly the dark version of the theme is deprecated. Use the themeVariant option instead to control the light / dark appearance of the theme.
Make sure that the theme you set is included in the downloaded package.
themeVariant String undefined

Controls which variant of the theme will be used (light or dark).

Possible values:
  • 'light' - Use the light variant of the theme.
  • 'dark' - Use the dark variant of the theme.
  • 'auto' or undefined - Detect the preferred system theme on devices where this is supported.

If not set, only the theme setting will determine which theme to use.

To use the option with custom themes, make sure to create two custom themes, where the dark version has the same name as the light one, suffixed with '-dark', e.g.: 'my-theme' and 'my-theme-dark'.

The option will not have any effect if the theme option explicitly sets the dark version of a theme, e.g. theme: 'ios-dark'.
vibrate Boolean true Turn vibration on/off on sort start and sort end.

Setting options dynamically

There are two ways to modify options after initalization

  1. Using the option method.

    The option method always triggers reinitialization. Most of the settings can be updated only this way, updating without initialization has no effect, because the markup is already generated. If the scroller was visible, the reinitialization hides it and it's not shown again automatically (except in inline display mode).

    Here is an example for the dynamic option change
    import { ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
    selector: 'my-example',
    template: `
        <input mbsc-listview #myVariable="mobiscroll" [(ngModel)]="myExample"/>
        <button (click)="changeOptions()">Change theme and language</button>
    `
})
export class MyExample {
    @ViewChild('myVariable') 
    myRef: any;

    // Modify options
    changeOptions() {
        this.myRef.instance.option({
            theme: 'mobiscroll',
            lang: 'de'
        });
    }
}
  2. Modify directly the settings object.

    Useful when changing dynamic settings, which do not need redraw (e.g. vibrate, calendar marked days).

    Example
    import { ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
    selector: 'my-example',
    template: `
        <input mbsc-listview #myVariable="mobiscroll" [mbsc-options]="myOptions"/>
        <button (click)="changeOptions()">Change Vibration</button>
    `
})
export class MyExample {
    @ViewChild('myVariable') 
    myRef: any;

    // get instance and modify a setting
    changeOptions() {
        this.myRef.instance.settings.vibrate = true;
    }
    
    // Modify settings in an event
    myOptions: any = {
        onItemTap: (event, inst) => {
            inst.settings.vibrate = true;
        }
    }
}

Customizing the appearance

While the provided pre-built themes are enough in many use cases, most of the times on top of adapting to a specific platform, you'd also like to match a brand or color scheme. Mobiscroll provides various ways to achieve this:

Override the Sass Color Variables

A convenient way to customize the colors of the Mobiscroll components is to override the Sass color variables.

Let's say your branding uses a nice red accent color, and you'd like that color to appear on the Mobiscroll components as well, while still using platform specific themes (e.g. ios on iOS devices, material on Android devices, and mobiscroll on desktop). You can override the accent color for every theme: 

$mbsc-ios-accent: #e61d2a;
$mbsc-material-accent: #e61d2a;
$mbsc-mobiscroll-accent: #e61d2a;

@import "~@mobiscroll/Angular/dist/css/mobiscroll.angular.scss"
It's important that you override the variables BEFORE the scss file import, otherwise it won't make any difference.
Here's a complete guide on how to set up Mobiscroll with SASS support

You can also customize the colors on many levels:

  1. Theme specific variables (ex. $mbsc-material-background, $mbsc-ios-dark-text) are applied to all components in a theme. Complete list of variables here.
  2. Component specific global variables (ex. $mbsc-card-background-light, $mbsc-listview-text-dark) are applied to all themes for a specific component.
  3. Component and theme specific variables (ex. $mbsc-ios-dark-form-background, $mbsc-material-input-text) are applied to a specific theme and a specific component.

Global variables

These variables are applied to all base themes: iOS, material, windows and mobiscroll.
They all come in pairs. One for the light and one for the dark variant in each theme.

Variable name Description
$mbsc-listview-background-light Sets the background color of the listview
$mbsc-listview-background-dark
$mbsc-listview-text-light Sets the text color of the listview
$mbsc-listview-text-dark
$mbsc-listview-accent-light Sets the accent color of the listview
$mbsc-listview-accent-dark
$mbsc-listview-header-background-light Sets the group header background color
$mbsc-listview-header-background-dark
$mbsc-listview-header-text-light Sets the group header text color
$mbsc-listview-header-text-dark

If you really want to get sophisticated or if a color doesn't look good on a specific theme and you want to overwrite it, you can fine tune all of the above variables individually for each theme.
Below are the complete list of variables broken down to themes:
