DISQUS integration with Angular.

Quick links

Install

npm install --save angular2-disqus

Setup

Add the DISQUS script

Add the DISQUS embed in the body of your main page (index.html) making sure to change the url to your disqus site url.

Breaking change as of v3 the embed script must now be in the body of the page not the head

<html>

<head>
 <title>demo app</title>
 <meta charset="UTF-8">
 <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

 <base href="/">

 <link href="../node_modules/@angular2-material/core/style/core.css" rel="stylesheet">

 <!-- Polyfill(s) for older browsers -->
 <script src="../node_modules/core-js/client/shim.min.js"></script>

 <script src="../node_modules/zone.js/dist/zone.js"></script>
 <script src="../node_modules/reflect-metadata/Reflect.js"></script>
 <script src="../node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js"></script>

 <script src="../public/js/systemjs.config.js"></script>

 <script>
     System.import('demo').catch(function(err){ console.error(err); });
   </script>
</head>

<body>
 <demo-app>Loading...</demo-app>
 <script src="//angular2disqustest.disqus.com/embed.js"></script>
</body>

</html>

SystemJS

In the SystemJs config file (systemjs.config.js) add a mapping for the package

var map = {
    ...
    'angular2-disqus': 'node_modules/angular2-disqus/lib'
};

and add the package to the list of packages

var packages = {
   ...
   'angular2-disqus': { main: 'disqus.module.js', defaultExtension: 'js' }
};

or for angular-cli

Just install the package and then import the module as below.

Usage

At the relevant level for your app add import the DisqusModule.

For example in app.module.ts

import { NgModule }       from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

import { AppComponent }   from './app.component';
import { DemoComponent } from './demo.component';

import { DisqusModule } from 'angular2-disqus';

import { MdCardModule } from '@angular2-material/card';
import { MdToolbarModule } from '@angular2-material/toolbar';
import { MdButtonModule } from '@angular2-material/button';
import { MdInputModule } from '@angular2-material/input';

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        //A2 stuff
        BrowserModule,
        FormsModule,
        //src module
        DisqusModule,
        //material modules
        MdCardModule,
        MdToolbarModule,
        MdButtonModule,
        MdInputModule
    ],
    declarations: [
        AppComponent
    ],
    bootstrap: [
        AppComponent
    ]

})
export class AppModule { }

To add a comments section add it as a nested component on your component and set the pageIdentifier and the pageUrl.

<disqus-thread [page-identifier]="pageIdentifier" [page-url]="pageUrl"></disqus-thread>

The comments section will be reset everytime either page-identifier or page-url are updated and both have a value. Note to avoid issues with comments showing up on the wrong page always set both.

Future
