What are ag-grid-angular's main functionalities?

Basic Grid Setup

This code sets up a basic ag-Grid in an Angular component. The `rowData` and `columnDefs` properties are used to define the data and columns of the grid.

<ag-grid-angular
  style="width: 100%; height: 350px;"
  class="ag-theme-alpine"
  [rowData]="rowData"
  [columnDefs]="columnDefs">
</ag-grid-angular>

Sorting and Filtering

This code enables sorting and filtering on all columns by setting the `sortable` and `filter` properties in the `defaultColDef` object.

<ag-grid-angular
  style="width: 100%; height: 350px;"
  class="ag-theme-alpine"
  [rowData]="rowData"
  [columnDefs]="columnDefs"
  [defaultColDef]="{ sortable: true, filter: true }">
</ag-grid-angular>

Row Selection

This code enables multiple row selection in the grid by setting the `rowSelection` property to `multiple`.

<ag-grid-angular
  style="width: 100%; height: 350px;"
  class="ag-theme-alpine"
  [rowData]="rowData"
  [columnDefs]="columnDefs"
  rowSelection="multiple">
</ag-grid-angular>

Cell Editing

This code enables cell editing for all columns by setting the `editable` property in the `defaultColDef` object.

<ag-grid-angular
  style="width: 100%; height: 350px;"
  class="ag-theme-alpine"
  [rowData]="rowData"
  [columnDefs]="columnDefs"
  [defaultColDef]="{ editable: true }">
</ag-grid-angular>

Pagination

This code enables pagination in the grid and sets the page size to 10 rows per page by using the `pagination` and `paginationPageSize` properties.

<ag-grid-angular
  style="width: 100%; height: 350px;"
  class="ag-theme-alpine"
  [rowData]="rowData"
  [columnDefs]="columnDefs"
  pagination="true"
  paginationPageSize="10">
</ag-grid-angular>
