Core: How to use the Pipe outside of the template ?

[samfrach]

Hello,

I thought the Pipe would be injectable in the constructor of my component so I can call translatePipe.transform(mytext)...

What is the way to do this ?

thank you

Hello,

yes you can do that, see the tests: https://github.com/ocombe/ng2-translate/blob/master/tests/translate.pipe.spec.ts#L87
But then at the point you might as well use the service which does the same with a lot less of overhead :)

Hello and thank you,

the problem not in test, is that the pipe is not available as a provider, so I can't inject it.

How am I supposed to get the pipe ?

thank you

[ocombe]

I guess that you have to provide it either in your module or in your component (using the providers property), but like I said you really should be using the service instead.

[samfrach]

ok I follow your advice,
thank you

@ocombe
Using as pipe is shorter than making sub. Very useful when creating dynamics forms.
this.translatePipe.transform('countryOfOriginCode'),
Please add this metod to docs :+1: or please show me better way.

You can use "instant": this.translateService.instant('countryOfOriginCode'). Be careful, like the pipe transform, this is synchronous so you have to make sure that the translations have been loaded, otherwise it will return the key instead of the translation
