Custom Input Components

app.component.html

<query-builder [(ngModel)]='query' [config]='config'>
  <ng-container *queryInput="let rule; type: 'date'">
    <custom-datepicker [(ngModel)]="rule.value"></custom-datepicker>
  </ng-container>
</query-builder>

app.component.ts

query = {
  condition: 'and',
  rules: [
    {field: 'birthday', operator: '=', value: new Date()}
  ]
};
 
config: QueryBuilderConfig = {
  fields: {

      defaultValue: (() => return new Date())
    },
  }
}

Custom Styling (with Bootstrap 4)

Bootstrap demo.

app.component.html

<query-builder [(ngModel)]='query' [config]='config' [classNames]='classNames'></query-builder>

app.component.ts

classNames: QueryBuilderClassNames = {
  removeIcon: 'fa fa-minus',
  addIcon: 'fa fa-plus',
  button: 'btn',
  buttonGroup: 'btn-group',
  rightAlign: 'order-12 ml-auto',
  switchRow: 'd-flex px-2',
  switchGroup: 'd-flex align-items-center',
  switchRadio: 'custom-control-input',
  switchLabel: 'custom-control-label',
  switchControl: 'custom-control custom-radio custom-control-inline',
  row: 'row p-2 m-1',
  rule: 'border',
  ruleSet: 'border',
  invalidRuleSet: 'alert alert-danger',
  operatorControl: 'form-control',
  operatorControlSize: 'col-auto px-0',
  fieldControl: 'form-control',
  fieldControlSize: 'col-auto',
  inputControl: 'form-control',
  inputControlSize: 'col-auto'
}

Customizing with Angular Material

Example of how you can completely customize the query component with another library like Angular Material. For the full example, please look at the source code provided in the demo.

app.component.html

<query-builder [(ngModel)]='query' [config]='config'>
  <ng-container *queryButtonGroup="let ruleset; let addRule=addRule; let addRuleSet=addRuleSet; let removeRuleSet=removeRuleSet">
    <button mat-button (click)="addRule()">+ Rule</button>
    <button mat-button (click)="addRuleSet()">+ Ruleset</button>
    <button mat-button (click)="removeRuleSet()">- Ruleset</button>
  </ng-container>
  <ng-container *queryRemoveButton="let rule; let removeRule=removeRule">
    <button mat-icon-button color="accent" (click)="removeRule(rule)">
      <mat-icon>remove</mat-icon>
    </button>
  </ng-container>
  <ng-container *querySwitchGroup="let ruleset">
    <mat-radio-group *ngIf="ruleset" [(ngModel)]="ruleset.condition">
      <mat-radio-buttonvalue="and">And</mat-radio-button>
      <mat-radio-button value="or">Or</mat-radio-button>
    </mat-radio-group>
  </ng-container>
  <ng-container *queryField="let rule; let fields=fields; let changeField=changeField">
    <mat-form-field>
      <mat-select [(ngModel)]="rule.field" (ngModelChange)="changeField($event, rule)">
        <mat-option *ngFor="let field of fields" [value]="field.value">{{field.name}}</mat-option>
      </mat-select>
    </mat-form-field>
  </ng-container>
  <ng-container *queryOperator="let rule; let operators=operators">
    <mat-form-field>
      <mat-select [(ngModel)]="rule.operator">
        <mat-option *ngFor="let value of operators" [value]="value">{{value}}</mat-option>
      </mat-select>
    </mat-form-field>
  </ng-container>
  <!-- Override input component for 'boolean' type -->
  <ng-container *queryInput="let rule; type: 'boolean'">
    <mat-checkbox [(ngModel)]="rule.value"></mat-checkbox>
  </ng-container>
  <!-- Override input component for 'category' type -->
  <ng-container *queryInput="let rule; let field=field; let options=options; type: 'category'">
    <mat-form-field>
      <mat-select [(ngModel)]="rule.value" [placeholder]="field.name">
        <mat-option *ngFor="let opt of options" [value]="opt.value">
          {{ opt.name }}
        </mat-option>
      </mat-select>
    </mat-form-field>
  </ng-container>
  ...
</query-builder>
