I'm trying to set a custom data attribute (data-tag) for a mat-select element in Angular Material 9. The following is the HTML and TS code that I'm using, but nothing happens by inspecting the webpage code into the browser:
HTML:
<mat-form-field>
<mat-label>Course</mat-label>
<mat-select [formControl]="subjectControl" required>
<mat-option>-- None --</mat-option>
<mat-optgroup *ngFor="let course of subjects" [label]="course.semester" [disabled]="course.disabled">
<mat-option *ngFor="let subject of course.courses" [value]="subject.subjectName" [attr.data-tag]="subject.subjectSemester">
{{ subject.subjectName }}
</mat-option>
</mat-optgroup>
</mat-select>
</mat-form-field>
TS:
export interface SubjectGroup {
disabled?: boolean;
semester: string;
courses: Subject[];
}
export interface Subject {
subjectName: string;
subjectSemester: string;
}
export class FormComponent implements OnInit {
subjectControl = new FormControl("", Validators.required);
subjects: SubjectGroup[] = [
{
semester: "Semester 1",
courses: [
{
subjectName: "Course 1",
subjectSemester: "1° Semester"
},
{
subjectName: "Course 2",
subjectSemester: "1° Semester"
},
{
subjectName: "Course 3",
subjectSemester: "1° Semester"
},
{
subjectName: "Course 4",
subjectSemester: "1° Semester"
},
{
subjectName: "Course 5",
subjectSemester: "1° Semester"
}
]
},
{
semester: "Semester 2",
courses: [
{
subjectName: "Course 1",
subjectSemester: "2° Semester"
},
{
subjectName: "Course 2",
subjectSemester: "2° Semester"
},
{
subjectName: "Course 3",
subjectSemester: "2° Semester"
},
{
subjectName: "Course 4",
subjectSemester: "2° Semester"
}
]
}
];
}
I found this question, but I can't understand what I'm doing wrong. Thank you
#Edit 1:
I tried also:
<mat-option *ngFor="let subject of course.courses" [value]="subject.subjectName" [attr.data-tag]="subject ? subject.subjectSemester : null">
but nothing...
Finally SOLVED:
HTML:
<mat-form-field>
<mat-label>Course</mat-label>
<mat-select
[formControl]="subjectControl"
[attr.data-tag]="this.subjectControl.value"
required
>
<mat-option>-- None --</mat-option>
<mat-optgroup *ngFor="let course of subjects" [label]="course.semester" [disabled]="course.disabled">
<mat-option *ngFor="let subject of course.courses" [value]="subject.subjectName"><!--here I have to set [value] to `.subjectName` or `.subjectSemester` to show it into the `data-tag`-->
{{ subject.subjectName }}
</mat-option>
</mat-optgroup>
</mat-select>
</mat-form-field>
As written in the comments of the code, I have to put the [attr.data-tag] into the mat-select equal to this.subjectControl.value, and set [value] of mat-option equal to the value to store into [attr.data-tag].
