To embed the card use the <ngx-interactive-paycard> selector.

  For example "#### #### #### ####" is a pattern for Master or VISA cards.
• cardNumberMask: Specifies which part of the card number should be masked. The masked characters are defined using * character the unmasked numbers are defined with # character. For example "#### **** **** ####" masks the middle of the card number. Note that it should have the same number of characters as the cardNumberFormat has.
• cardLabels: Optional property to modify all labels in the card component.
• formLabels: Optional property to modify all labels in form component.

The output parameters are following:

• changeCard: It is fired if one of the card properties change. The event contains all the card data.
• changeCardNumber: It is fired if the card number changes. The event contains the card number.

An example for the usage can be found below. The example assumes, that the consumer assets folder contains the necessary images.

<ngx-interactive-paycard 
    [chipImgPath]="'./assets/chip.png'" 
    [logoImgPath]="'./assets/logo.png'"
    [frontBgImgPath]="'./assets/SplitShire1.jpg'" 
    [backBgImgPath]="'./assets/SplitShire3.jpg'"
    [cardNumberFormat]="cardNumberFormat" 
    [cardNumberMask]="cardNumberMask" 
    [cardLabels]="cardLabel"
    [formLabels]="formLabel"
    (submitEvent)="onSubmitEvent($event)"
    (changeCard)="showChangesCard($event)"
    (changeCardNumber)="showChangesCardNumber($event)"
    >
</ngx-interactive-paycard>

And the component code for it:

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'ngx-interactive-paycard-demo';
  cardNumberFormat = "#### #### #### ####";
  cardNumberMask = "#### **** **** ####";
  //ex: Optional cardLabels - Spanish
  cardLabel: CardLabel = {
    expires: 'Expira',
    cardHolder: 'Nombre del Titular',
    fullName: 'Nombre completo',
    mm: 'MM',
    yy: 'AA',
  };
  //ex: Optional formLabels - Spanish
  formLabel: FormLabel = {
    cardNumber: 'Número de Tarjeta',
    cardHolderName: 'Titular de la Tarjeta',
    expirationDate: 'Fecha de Expiracion',
    expirationMonth: 'Mes',
    expirationYear: 'Año',
    cvv: 'CVV',
    submitButton: 'Enviar',
  };
  
  onSubmitEvent($event) {
    console.log($event);
  }
  
  showChangesCard($event) {
    // any changes on card (number, name, month, year, cvv)
    console.log($event);
  }

    showChangesCardNumber($event) {
    // any changes on card number
    console.log($event);
  }
}

A working example can be found in the ngx-interactive-paycard-demo folder in this repository.

Development of the library

To develop the library the LTS version of node.js needs to be installed. In this repository there is an Angular workspace which contains following projects

• ng-interactive-paycard-lib: The source code of the card library.
• ng-interactive-paycard-demo: The consumer that is used for the library development and to showcase the features of the library.

To install the dependencies of the workspace run

npm install

To start the library and the demo project in watch mode run

npm run watch:all

The demo of the library will be reachable on http://localhost:4200.
