## Dependencies
* [Angular](https://angular.io) (*requires* Angular 2 or higher, tested with V7)
## Requirements (peer dependencies):
- [angular animations v7.x](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@angular/animations)
- [angular http v7.x](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@angular/http)
- [angular cdk v7.x](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@angular/cdk)
- [angular material v7.x](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@angular/material)
- [angular material theme](https://material.angular.io/guide/getting-started#step-4-include-a-theme)
```bash
npm i @angular/cdk @angular/material @angular/animations @angular/http
```
or use `angular schematics` like e.g:
```bash
ng add @angular/material
```
---
### Additional requirements Theme (Material Design)
- [angular material theme](https://material.angular.io/guide/getting-started#step-4-include-a-theme)
## Installation
Install above dependencies via *npm*.
Now install `@angular-material-extensions/link-preview` via:
```shell
npm install --save @angular-material-extensions/link-preview
```
---
##### SystemJS
>**Note**:If you are using `SystemJS`, you should adjust your configuration to point to the UMD bundle.
In your systemjs config file, `map` needs to tell the System loader where to look for `@angular-material-extensions/link-preview`:
```js
map: {
'@angular-material-extensions/link-preview': 'node_modules/@angular-material-extensions/link-preview/bundles/link-preview.umd.js',
}
```
---
Once installed you need to import the main module:
```js
import { MatLinkPreviewModule } from '@angular-material-extensions/link-preview';
```
The only remaining part is to list the imported module in your application module. The exact method will be slightly
different for the root (top-level) module for which you should end up with the code similar to (notice ` MatLinkPreviewModule .forRoot()`):
```js
import { MatLinkPreviewModule } from '@angular-material-extensions/link-preview';
@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent, ...],
imports: [MatLinkPreviewModule.forRoot(), ...],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}
```
Other modules in your application can simply import ` MatLinkPreviewModule `:
```js
import { MatLinkPreviewModule } from '@angular-material-extensions/link-preview';
@NgModule({
declarations: [OtherComponent, ...],
imports: [MatLinkPreviewModule, ...],
})
export class OtherModule {
}
```
## Usage
### Directives
#### `matLinkPreview` used to find and parse links from any text input - should be used in combination with `` to render and preview the found links
e.g:
```html
Enter here your text here with few links to preview ;)
```
### Components
#### `` the container that hold the links to preview
| option | bind | type | default | description |
|:-------------------|:--------:|:------:|:------------:|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| color | `Input()` | `string` | `primary` | the color to use for the button of the url - options --> `primary | accent | warn`
| multiple | `Input()` | `boolean` | `false` | whether to find, parse and render one single or multiple links
| showLoadingsProgress| `Input()` | `boolean` | `true` | whether to show and render a loading spinner while fetching the link to preview
e.g:
```html
```
#### Full example code
```html
```
