Stackblitz

You can find it on stackblitz: stackblitz-guiexpert-angular-simple.

Installation

Add the following NPM package to your existing angular project (run this in your project root directory):

npm install --save @guiexpert/table @guiexpert/angular-table

Import standalone component

Import the (standalone) table component in your angular module (or in your angular standalone component, if you don’t work with modules):

@NgModule({
    imports: [
      CommonModule,
      TableComponent, ...

Add global table CSS

To add the global guiexpert CSS file in your Angular project, you can include the file in the styles array within the angular.json file.

Open the angular.json file of your project.
Look for the styles section within the configuration object for your project. It typically looks like this:

"styles": [
  "src/styles.css",
  "node_modules/@guiexpert/table/css/main.css"
  ...
],

Create an example component

Create a component and include the guiexpert tag in the template of your component

  <div class="content">
    <guiexpert-table
      [tableModel]="tableModel"
      [tableOptions]="tableOptions"
      class="ge-table"
    ></guiexpert-table>
  </div>

Be sure, that your div container expands. Add this CSS rule to your component’s style.

.content {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  padding: 0;
  border: 0;
}

Create a table model

Add two properties (tableModel and tableOptions) to the component. Generate a simple table model by the helper function TableFactory.createTableModel. The properties headerData, bodyData, and footerData are simple arrays of arrays.

tableModel: TableModelIf;

tableOptions = {
  ...new TableOptions(),
  hoverColumnVisible: false,
  defaultRowHeights: {
    header: 40,
    body: 34,
    footer: 0
  }
};

constructor() {
  this.tableModel = this.generateSimpleModel(100, 10);
}

generateSimpleModel(
  rowCount: number = 1000,
  columnCount: number = 1000
): TableModelIf {

  const bodyData: string[][] =
    Array.from(Array(rowCount).keys())
      .map((r) =>
        Array.from(Array(columnCount).keys())
          .map((c) => `Body ${r}/${c}`)
    );

  const headerData: string[][] =
    Array.from(Array(2).keys())
      .map((r) =>
        Array.from(Array(columnCount).keys())
          .map((c) => `Header ${r}/${c}`)
    );

  const footerData: string[][] =
    Array.from(Array(2).keys())
      .map((r) =>
        Array.from(Array(columnCount).keys())
          .map((c) => `Footer ${r}/${c}`)
    );

  return TableFactory.createTableModel({
    headerData,
    bodyData,
    footerData,
    overridingColumnWidth: 110,
    fixedLeftColumnCount: 1,
    fixedRightColumnCount: 1
  });
}

Here you can see an alternate simple table model creation:

TableFactory.createTableModel({
  headerData: [
    ["Column1", "Column2", "Column3"]
  ],
  bodyData: [
    ["This", "is", "a"],
    ["very", "simple", "demo"]
  ],
  overridingColumnWidth: 110
});
