Angular Datatable CRUD

Introduction

Angular Datatable CRUD is a powerful library that enables you to easily create dynamic tables with CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality. This tutorial will guide you through the process of setting up and using the Angular Datatable CRUD library in your Angular application.

Why use Angular Datatable CRUD?

Using Angular Datatable CRUD can save you a significant amount of time and effort when building dynamic tables with CRUD functionality. The library provides a simple and intuitive API, making it easy to integrate with your existing Angular application. With Angular Datatable CRUD, you can:

• Quickly create dynamic tables with sorting, filtering, and pagination
• Implement CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete) with ease
• Customize the appearance and behavior of your table to fit your application's needs

Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial, make sure you have:

• A basic understanding of Angular and its framework
• A code editor or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) set up with Angular support
• The Angular Datatable CRUD library installed in your project

Step 1: Install Angular Datatable CRUD

To start using Angular Datatable CRUD, you need to install the library in your Angular project. Run the following command in your terminal:

ng add @angular-datatable-crud

This command will install the library and its dependencies.

Step 2: Import Angular Datatable CRUD

In your Angular component, import the Angular Datatable CRUD module:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { DataTableCrudModule } from '@angular-datatable-crud';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [BrowserModule, DataTableCrudModule],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

Step 3: Create a Datatable Component

Create a new Angular component to serve as the container for your datatable:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { DataTableCrudService } from '@angular-datatable-crud';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-datatable',
  template: `
    <datatable-crud [data]="data" [columns]="columns"></datatable-crud>
  `
})
export class DataTableComponent implements OnInit {
  data = [];
  columns = [];

  constructor(private dataTableCrudService: DataTableCrudService) {}

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.data = this.dataTableCrudService.getData();
    this.columns = this.dataTableCrudService.getColumns();
  }
}

In this component, we're using the datatable-crud directive to render the datatable. We're also using the data and columns properties to bind the data and column definitions to the datatable.

Step 4: Define the Data and Columns

Define the data and columns for your datatable:

import { DataTableCrudService } from '@angular-datatable-crud';

@Injectable()
export class DataTableCrudService {

  private data = [
    { id: 1, name: 'John Doe', email: 'john.doe@example.com' },
    { id: 2, name: 'Jane Smith', email: 'jane.smith@example.com' },
    //...
  ];

  private columns = [
    { key: 'id', header: 'ID', dataType: 'number' },
    { key: 'name', header: 'Name', dataType: 'string' },
    { key: 'email', header: 'Email', dataType: 'string' },
  ];

  public getData(): any[] {
    return this.data;
  }

  public getColumns(): any[] {
    return this.columns;
  }
}

In this service, we're defining the data and columns for our datatable. We're also providing getters for the data and columns, which will be used by the datatable component to render the table.

Step 5: Implement CRUD Operations

Implement CRUD operations for your datatable:

import { DataTableCrudService } from '@angular-datatable-crud';

@Injectable()
export class DataTableCrudService {

  //...

  public create(data: any): void {
    this.data.push(data);
  }

  public read(id: number): any {
    return this.data.find((item: any) => item.id === id);
  }

  public update(id: number, data: any): void {
    const index = this.data.findIndex((item: any) => item.id === id);
    if (index!== -1) {
      this.data[index] = data;
    }
  }

  public delete(id: number): void {
    this.data = this.data.filter((item: any) => item.id!== id);
  }
}

In this service, we're implementing the CRUD operations using the create, read, update, and delete methods. These methods will be used by the datatable component to perform CRUD operations on the data.

Conclusion

That's it! You've successfully set up and used the Angular Datatable CRUD library in your Angular application. With this library, you can quickly create dynamic tables with CRUD functionality, and customize the appearance and behavior of your table to fit your application's needs.
