bc-md-data-table

Live demo http://iamisti.github.io/mdDataTable/

Angular material table. Complete implementation of google material design based on angular material components. This component is optimized for speed, and it's faster then other similar implementations, since it generates a native html table, and browsers are optimized for tables.

Angular2 and Angular2 Material version of this plugin is under development. If you want to be notified for the first release, please star the project here: md-data-table2
