ag-grid-angular

What is ag-grid-angular?

ag-grid-angular is a powerful data grid component for Angular applications. It provides a wide range of features for displaying, editing, and managing data in a tabular format. It is highly customizable and supports large datasets, making it suitable for enterprise applications.

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>

Other packages similar to ag-grid-angular

ngx-datatable

ngx-datatable is a lightweight Angular component for presenting large and complex data. It offers features like sorting, filtering, and pagination. Compared to ag-grid-angular, ngx-datatable is simpler and may be easier to use for smaller projects, but it lacks some of the advanced features and performance optimizations of ag-grid-angular.

primeng

PrimeNG is a comprehensive UI component library for Angular, which includes a powerful data table component. It offers a wide range of features, including sorting, filtering, pagination, and row selection. PrimeNG is comparable to ag-grid-angular in terms of functionality, but it also provides a broader set of UI components beyond just data tables.

angular-material

Angular Material is the official Material Design component library for Angular. It includes a data table component with features like sorting, pagination, and filtering. While it is not as feature-rich as ag-grid-angular, it integrates seamlessly with other Angular Material components and follows the Material Design guidelines.

⚡️ Quick Start

AG Grid is easy to set up - all you need to do is provide your data and define your column structure.

Installation

$ npm install --save ag-grid-angular

Setup

1. Import the Angular Data Grid

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

// Angular Data Grid Component
import { AgGridAngular } from 'ag-grid-angular';
// Column Definition Type Interface
import { ColDef } from 'ag-grid-community';

2. Define Rows and Columns

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [AgGridAngular], // Add Angular Data Grid Component
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
  template: ``
})

export class AppComponent {
  // Row Data: The data to be displayed.
  rowData = [
    { make: "Tesla", model: "Model Y", price: 64950, electric: true },
    { make: "Ford", model: "F-Series", price: 33850, electric: false },
    { make: "Toyota", model: "Corolla", price: 29600, electric: false },
  ];

  // Column Definitions: Defines the columns to be displayed.
  colDefs: ColDef[] = [
    { field: "make" },
    { field: "model" },
    { field: "price" },
    { field: "electric" }
  ];
}

3. Create the Angular Data Grid Component

template: `
<!-- The AG Grid component -->
<ag-grid-angular
  [rowData]="rowData"
  [columnDefs]="colDefs" />
`;

4. Styling the Data Grid

Import the required dependencies into your styles.css file.

/* Core Data Grid CSS */
import 'ag-grid-community/styles/ag-grid.css';

/* Quartz Theme Specific CSS */
import 'ag-grid-community/styles/ag-theme-quartz.css';

Add the class and style props to the ag-grid-angular component.

<ag-grid-angular
class="ag-theme-quartz"
style="height: 500px;"
...
/>

🛠️ Customisations

AG Grid is fully customisable, both in terms of appearance and functionality. There are many ways in which the grid can be customised and we provide a selection of tools to help create those customisations.

Custom Components

You can create your own Custom Components to customise the behaviour of the grid. For example, you can customise how cells are rendered, how values are edited and also create your own filters.

There are a number of different Component Types that you can provide to the grid, including:

• Cell Component: To customise the contents of a cell.
• Header Component: To customise the header of a column and column groups.
• Edit Component: To customise the editing of a cell.
• Filter Component: For custom column filter that appears inside the column menu.
• Floating Filter: For custom column floating filter that appears inside the column menu.
• Date Component: To customise the date selection component in the date filter.
• Loading Component: To customise the loading cell row when using Server Side Row Model.
• Overlay Component: To customise loading and no rows overlay components.
• Status Bar Component: For custom status bar components.
• Tool Panel Component: For custom tool panel components.
• Tooltip Component: For custom cell tooltip components.
• Menu Item Component: To customise the menu items shown in the Column and Context Menus.

To supply a custom cell renderer and filter components to the Grid, create a direct reference to your component within the gridOptions.columnDefs property:

gridOptions = {
    columnDefs: [
        {
            field: 'country', // The column to add the component to
            cellRenderer: CountryCellRenderer, // Your custom cell component
            filter: CountryFilter, // Your custom filter component
        },
    ],
};

Themes

AG Grid has 4 themes, each available in light & dark modes. We also supply each theme with an auto mode that can toggle the theme based on the users' system preferences:

Quartz	Material
Alpine	Balham

To apply a theme, add the relevant CSS Class to the Data Grid container. For example, to apply the Quartz theme, use the CSS class ag-theme-quartz:

<div
    id="myGrid"
    style="height: 150px; width: 600px"
    class="ag-theme-quartz"
></div>

Custom Themes

All AG Grid themes can be customised using CSS variables, or you can create a new theme from scratch with the help of our Theme Builder or Figma Design System.
