NativeScript - Change Label into TextView/TextField with a Button - nativescript

Question

I am learning to make an app in NativeScript (Angular 2). In my item page, I want to have a button so that when I press it, I can change Label into TextView/TextField for editing the information of the item.
I know that I can use editable in TextView but I still want to know if it is feasible to have the button with that functionality. Thank you !!
item.component.html:
<StackLayout>
<Label class="h3" text="Name: {{ item.get_name() }}" textWrap="true">
</Label>
<Label class="h3" text="Credit: {{ item.get_credit() }}"></Label>
<Button class="btn" text="Edit" (tap)="change()"></Button>
</StackLayout>
<!-- After pressing the button -->
<StackLayout>
<TextView class="h3" [text]="item.get_name()" textWrap="true">
</TextView>
<TextView class="h3" [text]="item.get_credit()"></TextView>
<Button class="btn" text="Save" (tap)="change()"></Button>
</StackLayout>

Answer 1

This can be done in many ways, but one common way is by changing visibility of control and binding it to a variable / property in the code behind.
in your component html:
Then on your component ts or code-behind you can handle it in the change method:
class MyComponentSample {
isLabelMode: boolean = true; // Set to true if you want label to show by default or false if TextView as default
change() {
this.isLabelMode = !isLabelMode; // Basically you are toggling the mode here.
}
}
