Integrating into Angular Application

import AngularTreeTableModule in app.module.ts.

Configuration in Component

Declare the below variables for table initialization

Java
 




xxxxxxxxxx
1


 
1
tableData: TreeTableData = null; //Table Data Holder 
2
tableConfig = new TreeTableDataConfig(); //Table Configuration 
3
tableHeaders: TreeTableHeaderObject[] = []; //Table Headers and Property Binding 


Declare the below methods to populate dummy data into the table

Java

1
populateDummyData() {
2
    const data = [];
3
    for (let i = 0; i < 120; i++) {
4
      const row = new TreeTableRow(i + '', { sno: i+1, name: 'John '+(i+1), age: i+1. address: {dno: '1-23'}}, false, null);
5
      data.push(row);
6
    }
7
    this.tableData = new TreeTableData(this.tableConfig);
8
    this.populateHeaders();
9
    this.tableData.data = data;
10
  }
11
  populateHeaders() {
12
    this.tableHeaders.splice(0, this.tableHeaders.length);
13
    this.tableHeaders.push(new TreeTableHeaderObject('Sno', 'sno', null, true));
14
    this.tableHeaders.push(new TreeTableHeaderObject('Name', 'name', null, true));
15
    this.tableHeaders.push(new TreeTableHeaderObject('Age', 'age', null, true));
16
    this.tableHeaders.push(new TreeTableHeaderObject('User Details', '=CONCAT(Name: |||name|||<br/>|||Age: |||age)', null, true));
17
    this.tableHeaders.push(new TreeTableHeaderObject('D.no', 'address.dno', null, true));
18
    this.tableData.headers = this.tableHeaders;
19
  }


Adding View Element in Component View

Add the below tag in Component HTML View

With this, you will get the view of basic Table with given data:

Expandable Table View

To configure the row as an expandable, we need to configure the table as below

Java
 




xxxxxxxxxx
1


 
1
tableConfig = {
2
 showExpandArrows: true, // Showing Arrows each possible row
3
 showExpandAllArrows: true // Expand all button 
4
}; 


Update the populateDummyData method as below to add Children to row

Java

1
populateDummyData() {
2
    const data = [];
3
    for (let i = 0; i < 120; i++) {
4
      const row = new TreeTableRow(i + '', { sno: i+1, name: 'John '+(i+1), age: i+1}, false, null);
5
      if (i % 10 !== 0) {
6
        row.expandable = true;
7
        const subTableData = new TreeTableData(this.tableConfig); //We can add new config object if required
8
        const subData = [];
9
        for (let j = 0; j < (10 - i % 10); j++) {
10
          const subRow = new TreeTableRow(j + '', { sno: j + 1, name: 'Paul ' + (j + 1), age: j + 1}, false, null);
11
          subData.push(subRow);
12
        }
13
        subTableData.headers = this.tableHeaders; //Using the same headers as parent table, we can use separate if required
14
        subTableData.data = subData;
15
        row.children = subTableData;
16
      }
17
      data.push(row);
18
    }
19
    this.tableData = new TreeTableData(this.tableConfig);
20
    this.populateHeaders();
21
    this.tableData.data = data;
