Angular 2 Hover event

yes there is on-mouseover in angular2 instead of ng-Mouseover like in angular 1.x so you have to write this :-

<div on-mouseover='over()' style="height:100px; width:100px; background:#e2e2e2">hello mouseover</div>

over(){
    console.log("Mouseover called");
  }

As @Gunter Suggested in comment there is alternate of on-mouseover we can use this too. Some people prefer the on- prefix alternative, known as the canonical form.

Update

HTML Code -

<div (mouseover)='over()' (mouseout)='out()' style="height:100px; width:100px; background:#e2e2e2">hello mouseover</div>

Controller/.TS Code -

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]
})
export class AppComponent  {
  name = 'Angular';

  over(){
    console.log("Mouseover called");
  }

  out(){
    console.log("Mouseout called");
  }
}

Working Example

Some other Mouse events can be used in Angular -

(mouseenter)="myMethod()"
(mousedown)="myMethod()"
(mouseup)="myMethod()"

If you want to perform a hover like event on any HTML element, then you can do it like this.

HTML

 <div (mouseenter) ="mouseEnter('div a') "  (mouseleave) ="mouseLeave('div A')">
        <h2>Div A</h2>
 </div> 
 <div (mouseenter) ="mouseEnter('div b')"  (mouseleave) ="mouseLeave('div B')">
        <h2>Div B</h2>
 </div>

Component

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    moduleId: module.id,
    selector: 'basic-detail',
    templateUrl: 'basic.component.html',
})
export class BasicComponent{

   mouseEnter(div : string){
      console.log("mouse enter : " + div);
   }

   mouseLeave(div : string){
     console.log('mouse leave :' + div);
   }
}

You should use both mouseenter and mouseleave events in order to fully implement functional hover events in angular 2.


You can do it with a host:

import { Directive, ElementRef, Input } from '@angular/core';

@Directive({
  selector: '[myHighlight]',
  host: {
    '(mouseenter)': 'onMouseEnter()',
    '(mouseleave)': 'onMouseLeave()'
  }
})
export class HighlightDirective {
  private _defaultColor = 'blue';
  private el: HTMLElement;

  constructor(el: ElementRef) { this.el = el.nativeElement; }

  @Input('myHighlight') highlightColor: string;

  onMouseEnter() { this.highlight(this.highlightColor || this._defaultColor); }
  onMouseLeave() { this.highlight(null); }

   private highlight(color:string) {
    this.el.style.backgroundColor = color;
  }

}

Just adapt it to your code (found at: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/attribute-directives.html )
