Zero Configuration
Using ngxDatatables Directive
@Component({
template: `
<table class="display" ngxDatatables>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Job Role</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Tiger Nixon</td>
<td>System Architect</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Garrett Winters</td>
<td>Accountant</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Ashton Cox</td>
<td>Junior Technical Author</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
`
})
export class ZeroConfiguration {
}
@Component({
template: `
<table class="display" [data]="data" ngxDatatables>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Job Role</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>`
})
export class ZeroConfiguration {
data: Object[]=[
['Tiger Nixon', 'System Architect'],
['Garrett Winters', 'Accountant'],
['Ashton Cox', 'Junior Technical Author'],
['Cedric Kelly', 'Senior Javascript Developer'],
['Airi Satou', 'Accountant', 'Tokyo']
];
}
Using ngx-datatables Component
@Component({
template: `
<ngx-datatables>
<table class="display">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Job Role</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Tiger Nixon</td>
<td>System Architect</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Garrett Winters</td>
<td>Accountant</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Ashton Cox</td>
<td>Junior Technical Author</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</ngx-datatables>
`
})
export class ZeroConfiguration {
}
@Component({
template: `
<ngx-datatables [data]="data">
<table class="display">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Job Role</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
</ngx-datatables>`
})
export class ZeroConfiguration {
data: Object[]=[
['Tiger Nixon', 'System Architect'],
['Garrett Winters', 'Accountant'],
['Ashton Cox', 'Junior Technical Author'],
['Cedric Kelly', 'Senior Javascript Developer'],
['Airi Satou', 'Accountant', 'Tokyo']
];
}
Javascript sourced data
Javascript sourced data defaults to client-side option
<ngx-datatables [data]="data">
<ngx-datatables-column header="Name"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Position"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Office"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Extension"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Start Date"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Salary"></ngx-datatables-column>
</ngx-datatables>
export class SampleComponent {
data: Object[];
constructor() {
this.data = [
["Tiger Nixon", "System Architect", "Edinburgh", "5421", "2011/04/25", "$320,800"],
["Garrett Winters", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "8422", "2011/07/25", "$170,750"],
["Ashton Cox", "Junior Technical Author", "San Francisco", "1562", "2009/01/12", "$86,000"],
["Cedric Kelly", "Senior Javascript Developer", "Edinburgh", "6224", "2012/03/29", "$433,060"],
["Airi Satou", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "5407", "2008/11/28", "$162,700"]
];
}
}
Ajax sourced data
Ajax sourced data defaults to server-side option. The
ajax
attribute accepts a string url, a function or jquery ajax option.
<ngx-datatables [ajax]="ajax">
<ngx-datatables-column header="Name"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Position"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Office"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Extension"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Start Date"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Salary"></ngx-datatables-column>
</ngx-datatables>
export class SampleComponent {
ajax: DataTables.FunctionAjax;
constructor() {
const data = [
["Tiger Nixon", "System Architect", "Edinburgh", "5421", "2011/04/25", "$320,800"],
["Garrett Winters", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "8422", "2011/07/25", "$170,750"],
["Ashton Cox", "Junior Technical Author", "San Francisco", "1562", "2009/01/12", "$86,000"],
["Cedric Kelly", "Senior Javascript Developer", "Edinburgh", "6224", "2012/03/29", "$433,060"],
["Airi Satou", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "5407", "2008/11/28", "$162,700"]
];
//simulation of an ajax call
this.ajax = (dtData: any, callback, settings) => {
setTimeout(() => {
callback({
"draw": dtData.draw,
"recordsTotal": 57,
"recordsFiltered": 57,
data: data
});
}, 200);
};
}
}
Using Options Settings
The
options
attribute accepts a DataTables.Settings type. DataTables.Settings has a columns property which is an array of column settings and it is equivalent to thengx-datatables-column
tag Note that the DataTables options columns settings takes precedency if defined.
<ngx-datatables [options]="options">
<ngx-datatables-column header="Name"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Position"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Office"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Extension"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Start Date"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Salary"></ngx-datatables-column>
</ngx-datatables>
export class SampleComponent {
options: DataTables.Settings;
constructor() {
const data = [
["Tiger Nixon", "System Architect", "Edinburgh", "5421", "2011/04/25", "$320,800"],
["Garrett Winters", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "8422", "2011/07/25", "$170,750"],
["Ashton Cox", "Junior Technical Author", "San Francisco", "1562", "2009/01/12", "$86,000"],
["Cedric Kelly", "Senior Javascript Developer", "Edinburgh", "6224", "2012/03/29", "$433,060"],
["Airi Satou", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "5407", "2008/11/28", "$162,700"]
];
//simulation of an ajax call
const ajax = (dtData: any, callback, settings) => {
setTimeout(() => {
callback({
"draw": dtData.draw,
"recordsTotal": 57,
"recordsFiltered": 57,
data: data
});
}, 200);
};
}
this.options = {
ajax: ajax,
"columns": [
{"data": "field"},
{"data": "job"},
{"data": "job"},
{"data": "job"},
{"data": "job"}
]
}
}
Using Object Array as Datasource
Below shows multiple ways pass data to
ngx-datatables
. However note that only one of the three attributes is required, hence theoptions
takes higher precedency. Order of priority is stated as...
options
ajax
data
<ngx-datatables [data]="data" [ajax]=[ajax] [options]="options">
<ngx-datatables-column header="Name" field="name"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Position" field="position"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Office" field="office"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Extension" field="extn"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Start Date" field="start_date"></ngx-datatables-column>
<ngx-datatables-column header="Salary" field="salary"></ngx-datatables-column>
</ngx-datatables>
export class SampleComponent {
data:Object[];
ajax: DataTables.FunctionAjax;
options: DataTables.Settings;
constructor() {
this.data = [
{
"id": "1", "name": "Tiger Nixon",
"position": "System Architect",
"salary": "$320,800",
"start_date": "2011/04/25",
"office": "Edinburgh",
"extn": "5421"
},
{
"id": "2",
"name": "Garrett Winters",
"position": "Accountant",
"salary": "$170,750",
"start_date": "2011/07/25",
"office": "Tokyo",
"extn": "8422"
},
{
"id": "3",
"name": "Ashton Cox",
"position": "Junior Technical Author",
"salary": "$86,000",
"start_date": "2009/01/12",
"office": "San Francisco",
"extn": "1562"
}
];
//simulation of an ajax call
this.ajax = (dtData: any, callback, settings) => {
setTimeout(() => {
callback({
"draw": dtData.draw,
"recordsTotal": 57,
"recordsFiltered": 57,
data: this.data
});
}, 200);
};
this.options = {
ajax: this.ajax,
responsive: true,
searching: false,
processing: true,
pagingType: "full_numbers",
lengthMenu: [20, 50, 100, 200, 500],
order: [[0, 'desc']]
}
}
}
Using Row Selector
<ngx-datatables-column [rowSelector]="true" field="id">
</ngx-datatables-column>
Using Custom Column Content
<ngx-datatables-column header="Thumbnail" field="id">
<ng-template ngxDatatablesTemplate="body">
<img src="..."/>
</ng-template>
</ngx-datatables-column>
Using Row Actions
<ngx-datatables-column header="Actions" field="id">
<ng-template ngxDatatablesTemplate="body" let-context>
<div>
<a (click)="_onEdit($event,context)" class="btn btn-success" href="javascript:"
title="Edit">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-pencil"></i>
</a>
<a (click)="_onDelete($event,context)" class="btn btn-danger" href="javascript:"
title="Delete">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-trash"></i>
</a>
</div>
</ng-template>
</ngx-datatables-column>
