Mastering Angular: How to Extend the Title Service for Custom Page Titles

When working with Angular applications, you might find yourself needing to customize the page title for various components dynamically. This functionality can enhance user experience and improve your application's SEO. However, for beginners in TypeScript, extending the Title Service in Angular can be a bit challenging. In this post, we will explore the problem of how to extend the Title Service and the best practices for implementing it.

Understanding the Challenge

The Angular Title Service, part of the @ angular/platform-browser package, is typically used to set the title of the current document. If you want to add custom logic to determine the title dynamically – for instance, by fetching it from another service based on some conditions – you might need to extend the Title Service.

Here's a brief overview of the challenges faced:

Constructor Requirements: The Title Service expects a constructor parameter that is not easily injectable, leading to confusion about how to invoke the superclass constructor.

Communication Between Components: Understanding how to correctly call the custom setPageTitle() method from your consuming component without losing the integrity of your service extension.

The Solution

Here, we present a straightforward way to extend the Title Service in Angular while managing the challenges mentioned above. Below, we break the solution down into organized sections.

Step 1: Extending the Title Service

To start, you can create a new service called PageTitleService. The key here is to inject both your custom service and the Title service in the constructor appropriately. Here's how you can do it:

Key Points:

Constructor Parameters: Notice how we inject myOtherService and title. This pattern allows you to access both your custom logic and the existing Title functionality.

Setting the Title: The setPageTitle method fetches the desired title and sets it using the existing title service.

Step 2: Using the Service in a Component

Once you have your PageTitleService set up, the next step is to use it within your Angular components effectively. Here's how you can do that:

Inject the Service: Inject PageTitleService into your component.

Call setPageTitle: Invoke the method when needed, typically in the ngOnInit() lifecycle hook.

Here is an example of how to do this:

Important Notes:

Lifecycle Hook: Placing the title setting logic inside ngOnInit() ensures that the title is set as the component loads.

No Additional Imports: By using PageTitleService, you avoid the hassle of importing the basic Title service directly into your components, maintaining clean architecture.

Conclusion

Customizing page titles in Angular can significantly improve usability and SEO if handled correctly. By extending the Title Service as shown, you gain flexibility in managing titles dynamically across your application.
