css - Add class to an element in Angular 4

Question

I was trying to create an image gallery with Angular 4.The logic behind this is to add a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) class to the selected image that will show a red border on the selected (clicked) image. This is the CSS stylesheet for an image gallery.

I want to show a red selection square on the image I have clicked. this-is-a-class should be added to the selected image.

#container{
  border:1px solid red;
  height:auto;
}

ul li{
  margin-right:20px;
  margin-left:0;
  list-style-type:none;
  display:inline;
}

ul li img{
  width: 200px;
  height:200px;
  border:1px solid grey;
}

#select{
  border:2px solid violet;
}

.this-is-a-class{
  border: 10px solid red !important;
}

following is the template code

<div id="container">
  <ul>
    <li><img class="this-is-a-class" id="1" src="../../assets/images/1.jpg" (click)="addClass(id=1)"/></li>
    <li><img id="select" src="../../assets/images/2.png" (click)="addClass(id=2)"/></li>
    <li><img id="3" src="../../assets/images/3.jpg" (click)="addClass(id=3)"/></li>
    <li><img id="4" src="../../assets/images/4.png" (click)="addClass(id=4)"/></li>
    <li><img id="5" src="../../assets/images/5.jpg" (click)="addClass(id=5)"/></li>
  </ul>
</div>

<div>
  <h1>You Clicked on: {{id}}</h1>
</div>

The component code is as follows

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { DataService } from '../../services/data.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-user',
  templateUrl: './user.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./user.component.css']
})

export class UserComponent implements OnInit {
  id: number;
  constructor() {
    console.log("Constructor working..")

  }

  ngOnInit() {
    console.log('ngOnInit works..');
  }

  //function to add the class to selected image to show the border.
  addClass(id) {
    this.id = id;
    //id = this.id? 'selectedImg' : 'null';
  }
}

Answer 1

Use [ngClass] and conditionally apply class based on the id.

In your HTML file:

<li>
    <img [ngClass]="{'this-is-a-class': id === 1 }" id="1"  
         src="../../assets/images/1.jpg" (click)="addClass(id=1)"/>
</li>
<li>
    <img [ngClass]="{'this-is-a-class': id === 2 }" id="2"  
         src="../../assets/images/2.png" (click)="addClass(id=2)"/>
</li>

In your TypeScript file:

addClass(id: any) {
    this.id = id;
}
