Integrate HTML5 Components in Angular InPlaceEditor component

The In-place Editor supports adding HTML5 input components using the template property. The Template property can be given as either a string or a query selector.

As a string

The HTML element tag can be given as a string for the template property. Here, the input is rendered as an HTML template.

template: "<div><input type='text' id='name'></input></div>"

As a ng-template

You can render other components inside In-place editor using Angular ng-template. We need to use ng-template inside the <ejs-inplaceeditor> tag with #template attribute, which is mandatory to render that template.

<ng-template #template>
    <input id="date" value="2018-05-23" type="date">
</ng-template>

Template mode, the value property not handled by the In-place Editor component. So, before sending a value to the server, you need to modify at actionBegin event, otherwise, an empty string will pass. In the following template sample, before submitting a data to the server, event argument and value property content updated in the actionBegin event handler.
