Mat-Datatable

A simple data table with virtual scrolling using Angular Material.

[]

Table of Contents

About The Project

This project extends 'angular material table' so that it can be used as a replacement for ngx-datatable in one of my projects. Unluckily ngx-datatable seems to be dead as it is still on angular v12 and an update to a more recent angular version is not in sight.

Nat-Datatable implements a table with virtual scrolling, sorting and filtering. Only a minimal set of the functionality of ngx-datatable is implemented.

Getting Started

To use this package in your project just follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

The package can be used in Angular apps with Angular Material installed.

Installation

Install the package from npmjs

npm install @bepo65/mat-datatable

Embed Mat-Datatable In Your Project

Configure your angular application module (e.g: app.module.ts):

...
import { MatDatatableModule } from 'mat-datatable';

@NgModule({
  ...
  imports: [
    ...
    MatDatatableModule
  ]
})

Add Mat-Datatable to your html file (e.g: app.component.html):

<div class="content-table">
  <mat-datatable #datatable
    [columnDefinitions]="columnDefinitions"
    [displayedColumns]="displayedColumns"
    [dataStoreProvider]="dataStore"
    [trackBy]="trackBy">
    loading...
  </mat-datatable>
</div>

The height of the element containing the mat-datatable must be set explicitly (e.g: app.component.scss):

.content-table {
  height: 400px;
  margin: 0 1em;
  overflow: auto;
}

Some properties of mat-datatable must be configured in the component class (e,g, app.component.ts):

export class AppComponent {
  ...
    protected dataStore = new MyTableDataStore<MyTableItem>();
    protected columnDefinitions: MatColumnDefinition<MyTableItem>[] = [
      {
        columnId: 'id',
        header: 'ID',
        cell: (row: DemoTableItem) => row?.userId?.toString(),
        footer: 'id'
      },
      {
        columnId: 'name',
        sortable: true,
        resizable: true,
        header: 'Name',
        cell: (row: DemoTableItem) => row?.firstName,
        footer: 'name'
      }

    ];
    protected displayedColumns: string[] = ['id', 'name'];

Hints On Possible Extensions

to make footer turn on / off dynamically it is not sufficient to wrap the footer cell and row definitions in ng-container. Details see stackoverflow. The demo uses ngx-rerender.
