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>
