Integration

with standalone components:

...
// component.ts
import {
  ShowHidePasswordComponent,
  ShowHideInputDirective,
  ShowHideStatusDirective,
  ShowHideTriggerDirective,
} from 'ngx-show-hide-password';

@Component({
  ...
  standalone: true,
  imports: [
    ShowHidePasswordComponent,
    ShowHideInputDirective,
    ShowHideStatusDirective,
    ShowHideTriggerDirective,
  ],
})
export class AppComponent {
  constructor(private showHideService: ShowHideService) {
    ...
    effect(() => {
      const show = this.showHideService.getSignal('password')();
      ...
    });
  }
}

as module (angular pre v16 and ngx-show-hide-password pre v2.7.0):

// app.module.ts
import { ShowHidePasswordModule } from 'ngx-show-hide-password';
// no need to import @fortawesome/angular-fontawesome for the component
...
@NgModule({
  ...
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    ShowHidePasswordModule,
    ...
  ],
  ...
})

template as component ...

<show-hide-password size="lg" btnStyle="primary" [btnOutline]="false">
  <input type="password" name="..." >
</show-hide-password>

or template with directives ...

<mat-form-field>
  <input id="mysecretpassword" type="password" placeholder="Password" matInput showHideInput>
  <i matSuffix
    class="material-icons"
    showHideTrigger="mysecretpassword"
    [showHideStatus]="{ materialIcon: true, id: 'mysecretpassword' }"
