Canvas 2D Context 1. Introduce a new field at the top of app.component.ts: context?: CanvasRenderingContext2D; 2. Get the 2D context in ngAfterViewInit(): const canvas = this.canvas!.nativeElement; const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d')!; this.context = ctx; 3. Prepare the canvas: ctx.fillStyle = 'white'; ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height); ctx.fillStyle = 'black'; Progressive Web Apps für Desktop und Mobile mit Angular (Hands-on) Paint LAB #2

Low-latency Rendering Progressive Web Apps für Desktop und Mobile mit Angular (Hands-on) Paint Web pages need to synchronize with the DOM on graphics updates causing latencies that can make drawing difficult Low-latency rendering skips syncing with the DOM with can lead to a more natural experience Supported on Chrome (Chrome OS and Windows only)

Pointer Events Progressive Web Apps für Desktop und Mobile mit Angular (Hands-on) Paint Users nowadays use different input methods, cross-platform apps should cover all of them Pointer Events offer an abstract interface to catch all input methods (pointerdown, pointermove, pointerup) event.offsetX/event.offsetY contain the pointer’s position relative to the listener

Slide 18

Slide 18 text

Pointer Events 1. In app.component.html, add event bindings for the pointer events: 2. In app.component.ts (onPointerMove()), draw the user input: this.context!.fillRect(event.offsetX, event.offsetY, 2, 2); Progressive Web Apps für Desktop und Mobile mit Angular (Hands-on) Paint LAB #4

Bresenham Line Algorithm The user may move faster than the input can be processed For this case, we need to remember the previous point and interpolate the points in between The Bresenham line algorithm calculates the missing pixels between two given points Progressive Web Apps für Desktop und Mobile mit Angular (Hands-on) Paint

Slide 20

Slide 20 text

Bresenham Line Algorithm 1. At the top of app.component.ts, a field called previousPoint to store the previous point: previousPoint?: { x: number, y: number }; 2. In onPointerDown(), set the current point as the previous point: this.previousPoint = { x: event.offsetX, y: event.offsetY }; 3. In onPointerUp(), set this.previousPoint to undefined. Progressive Web Apps für Desktop und Mobile mit Angular (Hands-on) Paint LAB #5

Slide 21

Slide 21 text

Bresenham Line Algorithm 4. In onPointerMove(), call the Bresenham line algorithm with the points: if (this.previousPoint) { const currentPoint = { x: event.offsetX, y: event.offsetY }; for (const point of this.paintService.bresenhamLine(this.previousPoint, currentPoint)) { this.context!.fillRect(point.x, point.y, 2, 2); } this.previousPoint = currentPoint; } Progressive Web Apps für Desktop und Mobile mit Angular (Hands-on) Paint LAB #5

Color Selection For this demo, we will only implement the brush tool. However, we want to bring in some color. A simple method to implement a color selection is to use the HTML color-type input element that shows the native color picker: Progressive Web Apps für Desktop und Mobile mit Angular (Hands-on) Paint

Slide 23

Color Selection 1. In app.component.html, replace the content of the node with: 2. In app.component.ts (onColorChange()), update the context’s fill style accordingly: this.context!.fillStyle = color.value; Progressive Web Apps für Desktop und Mobile mit Angular (Hands-on) Paint LAB #6

Overview Use available interfaces and functions of a system (opposite of Graceful Degradation) Users with modern, feature-rich browsers get a better experience Apps are available on older browsers, but with limited functionality Concept: Browser feature support should grow over time—thereby more users can enjoy an increasing number of features Progressive Web Apps für Desktop und Mobile mit Angular (Hands-on) Progressive Enhancement

Slide 68

Overview if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) { navigator.serviceWorker.register(…) .then(() => /* … */); } In JavaScript: check whether an API/feature is available. If yes—use it! Otherwise: 1. Disable the functionality 2. Fall back to an alternative API (if available) Progressive Web Apps für Desktop und Mobile mit Angular (Hands-on) Progressive Enhancement

Slide 69

Disabling unsupported features In app.component.ts, introduce the following check object: readonly supported = { open: 'showOpenFilePicker' in window, } as const; In app.component.html, disable the open button if the API is unsupported: Open Progressive Web Apps für Desktop und Mobile mit Angular (Hands-on) Progressive Enhancement LAB #17 Für localhost:4200

Disabling unsupported features Introduce checks for the remaining APIs: 1. Save: 'showSaveFilePicker' in window 2. Copy: navigator.clipboard && 'write' in navigator.clipboard 3. Paste: navigator.clipboard && 'read' in navigator.clipboard 4. Share: 'canShare' in navigator Progressive Web Apps für Desktop und Mobile mit Angular (Hands-on) Progressive Enhancement LAB #17

Slide 71

Slide 71 text

Providing an alternative implementation 1. In the save() method of app.component.ts, test for the existence of the showSaveFilePicker() method on the window object. 2. If the method does not exist, fall back to the following code for save: const anchor = document.createElement('a'); const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob); anchor.href = url; anchor.download = ''; anchor.click(); URL.revokeObjectURL(url); 3. Remove the compatibility check to always enable the button. Progressive Web Apps für Desktop und Mobile mit Angular (Hands-on) Progressive Enhancement LAB #18
