ngx-query-builder

A modernized Angular 4+ query builder based on jQuery QueryBuilder. Support for heavy customization with Angular components and provides a flexible way to handle custom data types.

Forked from (https://github.com/zebzhao/Angular-QueryBuilder) as the original project has stopped updating and does not support the latest Angular versions, so I will continue to maintain it and support the latest versions of Angular.

Getting Started

Install

• Angular latest, use 0.6.3+

npm install @kerwin612/ngx-query-builder

---

• Angular 9, use 0.6.0
• Angular 8, use 0.5.1
• Angular 6-7, use 0.4.2
• Angular 4-5, use 0.3.2

npm install angular2-query-builder

See https://github.com/zebzhao/Angular-QueryBuilder for more details on the usage of the old version.

Examples

Basic Usage

app.module.ts

import { QueryBuilderModule } from "ngx-query-builder";
import { AppComponent } from "./app.component"

@NgModule(imports: [
  ...,
  QueryBuilderModule,
  IonicModule.forRoot(AppComponent) // (Optional) for IonicFramework 2+
])
export class AppModule { }

app.component.html

...
<ngx-query-builder [(ngModel)]='query' [config]='config'></ngx-query-builder>
...

app.component.ts

import { QueryBuilderConfig } from 'ngx-query-builder';

export class AppComponent {
  query = {
    condition: 'and',
    rules: [
      {field: 'age', operator: '<=', value: 'Bob'},
      {field: 'gender', operator: '>=', value: 'm'}
    ]
  };
  
  config: QueryBuilderConfig = {
    fields: {
      age: {name: 'Age', type: 'number'},
      gender: {
        name: 'Gender',
        type: 'category',
        options: [
          {name: 'Male', value: 'm'},
          {name: 'Female', value: 'f'}
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Custom Input Components

  <ng-container *queryInput="let rule; type: 'date'">
    <custom-datepicker [(ngModel)]="rule.value"></custom-datepicker>
  </ng-container>
</ngx-query-builder>

app.component.ts

query = {
  condition: 'and',
  rules: [
    {field: 'birthday', operator: '=', value: new Date()}
  ]
};

config: QueryBuilderConfig = {
  fields: {
    birthday: {name: 'Birthday', type: 'date', operators: ['=', '<=', '>']
      defaultValue: (() => return new Date())
    },
  }
}
