Three state toggle switch in angular

Question

In my angular 6 application i am in the need to use three state toggle switch which has the order,

---ON---NA---OFF---

For which i have used the following Html,

<div class="switch-toggle switch-3 switch-candy">
   <input id="on" name="state-d" type="radio" checked="">
   <label for="on" onclick="">ON</label>

   <input id="na" name="state-d" type="radio" checked="checked">
   <label for="na" onclick="">N/A</label>

   <input id="off" name="state-d" type="radio">
   <label for="off" onclick="">OFF</label>

   <a></a>
</div>

Couldn't share the css file because it has lot of codes..

Working Example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-6-template-driven-form-validation-z2rsig

In which you could able to see two times made switch boxes in which the first one is entirely hard coded radio buttons..

But in second i am trying to make it dynamic but i am unable to get the same UI and value of the selected switch..

The thing i am in the need is, Need to make three state toggle switch which will have values as On --- NA --- Off. IF user switch to Off then the value of state-d needs to be Off and if its On then the value of state-d needs to be On and likewise for NA. In default the NA needs to be selected (checked)..

I am need of result as like first one in the link https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-6-template-driven-form-validation-z2rsig

But the radio buttons needs to be dynamic as like i am tried in second one in the same link.. (It doesn't works).

Html:

<div *ngFor="let option of options" class="switch-toggle switch-3 switch-candy">
        <div class="radio">
            <input type="radio"
               name="state-d"
               id="{{option.id}}"
               [(ngModel)]="value"
               [value]="option.value"
               />
        <label for="{{option.id}}">{{option.id}}
        </label>
    </div>
  </div>

Ts:

    public options = [
    {value: "on", id:"On"},
    {value: "na", id:"NA"},
    {value: "off", id:"Off"},
  ]

Also i need to get the value of the current switch.

Kindly help me to achieve the expected result via dynamic generation of radio buttons and make the NA default value upon switching the buttons make change the values accordingly..

Result is expected without using any third-party libraries (even angular material not allowed) or jquery.. It is good if there is change in the UI but expected result is in pure angular, typescript/javascript based.

really I like the radio-buttons of ng-bootstrap https://ng-bootstrap.github.io/#/components/buttons/examples#radio (well, you can add as style

.btn-primary.focus, .btn-primary:focus {  
   box-shadow: 0 0 0 0; 
}

To avoid the "ugly" shadow in focus)

Make some similar without third-party libraries is play with css. if we has an options like

<div *ngFor="let option of options" style="display:inline"  
    [className]="value==option.value?'active':'noactive'" >
    <input class="radio" type="radio" name="state-d" id="{{option.id}}"
            [(ngModel)]="value" [value]="option.value" />
        <label for="{{option.id}}">
           {{option.id}}
        </label>
</div>

Simply add

[type="radio"].radio {
  border: 0; 
  clip: rect(0 0 0 0); 
  height: 1px; margin: -1px; 
  overflow: hidden; 
  padding: 0; 
  position: absolute; 
  width: 1px;
}
.active{
   color:red;
}
.noactive{
   color:blue;
}

remove the "caret" and give some style to radio buttons. well, make an animation it's more complex. I'll try using Angular Animations defining three states, but I'm not pretty sure how make it

Updated using Angular animations Angulars animation in this case is easy. Just defined three states (I make a very simple example (my options will be a simple array)

An animation is only defined states and how pass to one state to other

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
  animations: [
    trigger('posX',[
      state('uno',style({transform:'translateX(0)'})),
      state('dos',style({transform:'translateX(100px)'})),
      state('tres',style({transform:'translateX(200px)'})),
      transition('* => uno',animate(200)),
      transition('* => dos',animate(200)),
      transition('* => tres',animate(200)),
    ])
  ]
})
export class AppComponent {
  pos:string='uno';
  pos2:string='uno';
  options=['uno','dos','tres'];
}

The animation only say that, when [@posX] was 'uno', no translate, when [@posX] was 'dos' translate 100px to the left and when [@posX] was 'tres' translate 200px

An html will be two divs that are in the same position (I use margin-top:-2rem)

<div style="background-color:transparent;">
  <div *ngFor="let option of options" style="display:inline;" >
    <input class="radio" type="radio" name="state-d" id="{{'l'+option}}"
            [(ngModel)]="pos" [value]="option" />
        <label class="radio" for="{{'l'+option}}">
           {{option}}
        </label>
  </div>
</div>
<div style="overflow:hidden;margin-top:-2rem">
   <div  [@posX]="pos" (@posX.done)="pos2=pos" style="background:blue;width:100px" >
      {{pos2}}
  </div>
</div>

And a css to hide the "caret" and give width to the labels.

[type="radio"].radio {
  border: 0; 
  clip: rect(0 0 0 0); 
  height: 1px; margin: -1px; 
  overflow: hidden; 
  padding: 0; 
  position: absolute; 
  width: 1px;
}
label.radio
{
  width:100px;
}

you can see in the stackblitz

NOTE: Obviously is an ugly example with style in-line and not in .css

Here is updated Stackbilz link https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-qkmkvu HTML code`

<h3>Angular 6 Template-Driven Form Validation</h3>
<form name="form" (ngSubmit)="f.form.valid && onSubmit()" #f="ngForm" novalidate>
  <div class="switch-toggle switch-3 switch-candy">
    <div class="radio" *ngFor="let option of options">
      <input type="radio" name="state-d" id="{{option.id}}" [(ngModel)]="value" [value]="option.value" />
      <label for="{{option.id}}">{{option.id}}
      </label>
    </div>
  </div>
</form>

`

TS code `

export class AppComponent {
  model: any = {};
  value = "na";
  public options = [
    { value: "on", id: "On" },
    { value: "na", id: "NA" },
    { value: "off", id: "Off" }
  ];

  onSubmit() {
    alert("SUCCESS!! :-)\n\n" + JSON.stringify(this.model));
  }
}

`

I just initialise first radio button value and change some styles
